A Randomized Controlled Trial for an Individualized Positive Psychosocial Intervention for the Affective and Behavioral Symptoms of Dementia in Nursing Home Residents
This study demonstrates the value of individualized activities for nursing home residents with dementia. In a stringent test, residents were happier and less angry during a customized intervention compared with a standardized intervention. Even brief individualized CNA-led activities bring pleasure to nursing home residents and constitute an effective strategy to enhance positive affect and engagement in persons with dementia
Asking Neutral Versus Leading Questions
The authors conclude that, because they minimize survey time without compromising validity and reliability, items that explicitly capture degree of difficulty by asking "How much difficulty do you have..." may be the optimal approach for survey designers
Valuation of Life
VOL is a cognitive-affective schema whose function as a mediator and moderator between health and end-of-life decisions deserves further research
Affect and Quality of Life
The importance of assessing both amount of behavior (objective) and its quality (subjective) when measuring QOL was demonstrated. Although external engagement bears a closer relationship to PA than to negative, the dual-channel model relating locus of stimulation differentially to PA and depression requires modification
Dimensions of affective experience in three age groups.
The Dynamics of Caregiving for a Demented Elder Among Black and White Families
Caregiving dynamics were studied in a sample of 157 Black caregivers of elders suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. By comparison with White caregivers (N = 472), there were fewer spouses and more nonspouse-nonchild caregivers among Blacks. With control exercised on background and socioeconomic variables, race differences in caregiving appraisal were found. Blacks showed more favorable scores on indices of traditional caregivin…
In Search of Psychological Benefits
This study assessed the short-term psychological effects of an exercise training program for 267 healthy elderly volunteers randomly assigned to either a bicycle group that trained three times a week for 4 months or an attention control group that met once a week during the 4-month period. A second aim was to identify predictors of favorable change in either physiological performance in stress-test parameters or in behavioral attributes at the co…
A Two-factor Model of Caregiving Appraisal and Psychological Well-Being
Groups of spouse (N = 285) and adult child (N = 244) caregivers of elderly parents suffering from Alzheimer's disease were interviewed regarding their caregiving behaviors, evaluations of caregiving, and general psychological well-being. A model of caregiving dynamics where the objective stressor, caregiver resources, and subjective appraisal of caregiving (operationalized as caregiving satisfaction and burden) were studied as they affected both …
Measuring Caregiving Appraisal
Caregivers of disabled older people were studied in terms of their appraisal of the caregiving process. A conceptual approach based on stress theory suggested that such appraisal was broader than the traditional term, "caregiving burden." An item pool was constructed using traditional and new items to represent dimensions of subjective caregiving burden, caregiving satisfaction, caregiving impact, caregiving mastery, and traditional caregiving id…
Family Help to the Elderly
This article examines the consequences of parent care reported by the husbands (N = 150) of women who were principal caregivers of their elderly disabled mothers and compares the men's perceptions of the caregiving situation with those of their wives. Many of the husbands reported the personal effects of parent care often cited by principal caregivers. Those sharing households with their mothers-in-law were more likely to report consequences such…
A Research and Service Oriented Multilevel Assessment Instrument
An assessment instrument capable of measuring the wellbeing of the aged in a number of significant domains is described. This Philadelphia Geriatric Center Multilevel Assessment Instrument (MAI) systematically assesses behavioral competence in the domains of health, activities of daily living, cognition, time use, and social interaction and in the sectors of psychological wellbeing and perceived environmental quality. Determination of the psychom…
Neurochemical Changes in Brains of Albino Rats Resulting from Avoidance Learning
To observe the effects of avoidance training on the brain chemistry of trained rats, 36 Wistar albino rats, 60—75 days old, were run in an automated straight-runway maze. 12 Ss received limited avoidance training followed immediately by extinction training for the avoidance response. 12 other Ss received limited avoidance training only, and 12 is acted as non-trained controls. Following training, each S's brain was removed and sectioned into thre…
Influence of Donor-Recipient Brain Transfers on Avoidance Learning
The brain extracts from donor animals, trained on intermittent punishment avoidance tasks, were transferred by intraperitoneal injections to naive recipients. Two types of control conditions were used, (1) the brain extracts from untrained donors were injected into naive recipients and (2) water injections were given to naive Ss. The recipient animals also received intermittent punishment-avoidance (running) training. Measurements were made of ex…
Strain Differences Occurring in an Experimental Study of Punishment
Forty-three Sprague-Dawley and 43 Wistar rats were given reward training for 40 trials in a Y-maze. On the next 20 trials, control groups were continued under the same training procedure, and 50% shock trials were introduced in the training of the remaining rats. For the extinction training, the reward was shifted to the opposite arm and 50% shock was continued for the no-delay and 30-sec. delay shock groups. The most significant results were tha…
