Validation of the Everyday Ageism Scale Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Item Response Theory
The Everyday Ageism Scale is a self-report measure of ageism in older adults. To our knowledge, this scale has yet to undergo item response theory (IRT) analysis to evaluate its item-level properties. Our objective was to evaluate its reliability, structural validity, and item functioning. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis and IRT using data collected from 486 older adults. The Everyday Ageism Scale demonstrated acceptable McDonald’s omeg…
The Impact of Ageism and Pain on Pandemic-Related Stress in Older Adults
Although research has linked ageism and pain to increased stress in older adults, their influence on stress within the context of pandemics has not been adequately examined. Our objective was to investigate relationships among pain, ageism, and pandemic-related stress in older adults using structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation analysis. We hypothesized that pain would exert a direct and/or indirect influence on pandemic-related stress,…
Age differences in attitudes about older adults with dementia
Dementia, a term that describes a variety of brain conditions marked by gradual, persistent and progressive cognitive decline, affects a significant proportion of older adults. Older adults with dementia are sometimes perceived less favourably than those without dementia. Furthermore, compared to persons without dementia, those with dementia are often perceived by others as having reduced personhood. This study was aimed at investigating whether …
Exploring Low Levels of Inter-Parental Agreement Over South African Fathers’ Parenting Practices
High rates of residential separation of fathers and children in South Africa demand reliable methods of collecting data on the parenting practices of nonresident fathers. Using questionnaire data from matched mother–father pairs, we assessed the reliability of mother’s reports of father’s involvement in infant care as a proxy for father’s own reports. Agreement between parental reports was reasonable for father’s financial provisioning and time s…
Unemployment and Mortality
Objectives. We examined the relationship between unemployment and mortality in Germany, a coordinated market economy, and the United States, a liberal market economy. Methods. We followed 2 working-age cohorts from the German Socio-economic Panel and the US Panel Study of Income Dynamics from 1984 to 2005. We defined unemployment as unemployed at the time of survey. We used discrete-time survival analysis, adjusting for potential confounders. Res…
Birth Outcomes Among Older Mothers in Rural Versus Urban Areas
PURPOSE: We examined the association between rural residence and birth outcomes in older mothers, the effect of parity on this association, and the trend in adverse birth outcomes in relation to the distance to the nearest hospital with cesarean-section capacity. METHODS: A population-based retrospective cohort study, including all singleton births to 35+ year-old women in British Columbia (Canada), 1999-2003. We compared birth outcomes in rural …
Idealism and Relativism Across Cultures
This article represents one of the first cross-cultural explorations of ethical ideology among physicians. The study involved a total of 1,109 physicians from six countries (Canada, China, India, Ireland, Japan, and Thailand) who responded to the Ethics Position Questionnaire. A comprehensive Bayesian Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrated robustness of the ethical dimensions of idealism and relativism as fundamental across cultures, with note…
Water and sewage systems, socio-demographics, and duration of residence associated with endemic intestinal infectious diseases
This large cohort study, with objective data on exposures and outcomes, demonstrated associations between endemic infectious intestinal diseases and factors related to water supply, sewage disposal, socio-demographics, and duration of residency. The results did not always follow prior expectations based on studies examining outbreaks and single systems, and underscore the importance of studying factors associated with endemic disease across water…
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Characteristics Affect the Incidence of Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage
OBJECTIVES: The incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), adjusted for known risk factors, varies across neonatal intensive care units (NICU)s. The effect of NICU characteristics on this variation is unknown. The objective was to assess IVH attributable risks at both patient and NICU levels. STUDY DESIGN: Subjects were <33 weeks' gestation, <4 days old on admission in the Canadian Neonatal Network database (all infants admitted in 1996-97 t…
