Racial and Ethnic Differences in Caregiving Networks and Unmet Care Needs Among People Living With Cognitive Impairment
Unmet needs are common among people living with cognitive impairment (PLwCI) and are linked to adverse outcomes. While caregiving networks (CGNs) are crucial in supporting care, little is known regarding how CGNs relate to unmet needs for PLwCI across racial and ethnic groups. Using data from the 2023 National Health and Aging Trends Study, we adapted the latent profiles of CGN sizes and composition among Black, Latinx, and White PLwCI and assess…

I Just Glove up and Do What Has to Be Done”
Family care partners for persons living with dementia (PLwD) adopt a variety of care management strategies to navigate care. We utilize a convergent parallel mixed-methods design to integrate family care partners' descriptions of care challenges and associated management approaches. Primary family care partners for PLwD (n = 100) were interviewed about their management of a care challenge (qualitative), the PLwD's function, behavior and cognition…
Who’s On Your Team? Classifying Dementia Caregiving Networks and Associations With the Well-being of Caregivers and Care Recipients With Dementia
Objectives While caregivers are typically enmeshed in broad networks of family and friends assisting with care, this network has been neglected in favor of examining a “primary” caregiver. This study examines types of family and unpaid friend networks for individuals with dementia and how one’s network type relates to the well-being of care recipients with dementia and their caregivers. Methods Data are drawn from the nationally representative 20…
The Worst of Times
Objective: To explore differences in depressive symptoms for older adults (Black, Latinx, and White) by cognitive status during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data from the Health and Retirement Study identified older adults as cognitively normal, cognitively impaired without dementia (CIND), and persons living with dementia (PLWD). Multiple linear regression analyses examined associations between cognitive status and depressive symptoms am…
Functional Decline Over Time and Change in Family and Other Unpaid Care Provided to Community-Dwelling Older Adults Living With and Without Dementia
There is a mismatch between the large additional hours of care received by older adults who experience functional decline (particularly self-care activities) and the relatively small accompanying increase in family and unpaid caregivers. Targeted functional supports, particularly for self-care activities, may benefit both older adults and their caregivers
Neighborhood Characteristics and Caregiver Depressive Symptoms in the National Study of Caregiving
Objectives: We examined the association between neighborhood characteristics and depressive symptoms in a population-based sample of dementia caregivers. Methods: Data came from the 2017 National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) and National Study of Caregiving. The sample included 956 caregivers of those with dementia. Linear regression was used to examine associations between neighborhood physical disorder neighborhood social cohesion, and…
The Changing Tides of Caregiving During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Those who changed their care provision during the pandemic predominantly did so to protect their care recipient from COVID-19 exposure. Increasing one's care provision was strongly associated with worse mental health and well-being. Supports for caregivers who take on additional care tasks during the pandemic could have great public health benefit
Gatekeepers
Greater complexity of care networks increases risk of presenting to the ED for care. Better understanding how caregiving networks help PLwD interact with the health care system can inform intervention design and targeting in order to help care networks improve care coordination, management, and shared decision making
Validation of a Measure of Role Overload and Gains for End-of-Life Dementia Caregivers
Results offer both a deeper theoretical understanding of end-of-life dementia caregivers' experiences of role overload and gains, and a practical tool to measure those experiences
Till Death Do Us Part
These findings add to a growing body of literature suggesting that caregiving may provide a mortality benefit and a reason to maintain health
Multiple Chronic Conditions in Spousal Caregivers of Older Adults With Functional Disability
Spousal caregivers with MCCs involving discordant management strategies appear to be at risk for adverse care-related outcomes and may benefit from support in maintaining their own health as well as their caregiving responsibilities
Residual Effects of Restless Sleep over Depressive Symptoms on Chronic Medical Conditions
Recent Improvements in Cognitive Functioning Among Older U.S. Adults
Compression of cognitive morbidity is seen among the highly educated, and increasing educational opportunities may be an important strategy for decreasing the risk for cognitive impairment in later life
The Impact of Sleep Disturbance on the Association Between Stressful Life Events and Depressive Symptoms
Sleeping restfully may allow individuals the rejuvenation needed to manage stress adaptively and reduce depressive symptom burden
Depressive Mood, Anger, and Daily Cortisol of Caregivers on High- and Low-Stress Days
We found that hypocortisol patterns, reflective of chronic stress experienced by caregivers, are associated with negative mood
