An important obstacle to widespread adoption of EBP, however…

To address the gap in interprofessional allied health education nursing and social work, colleagues from 2 universities developed interdisciplinary health fairs that addressed the needs of 2 commun…
Grandparent Caregivers' Health and Management of Prescription Medication
It has been widely documented that grandparent caregivers are at risk for serious physical health problems. This study presents a picture of grandparent caregivers' health and prescription medication adherence.

Design of an Assessment of Caregivers' Impulsive Feelings to Commit Elder Abuse
Objective: This study aims to identify the psychometric properties of the Impulsive Feelings to Commit Elder Abuse (IFCEA) scale. Method: The sample included 387 South Korean family caregivers for their older family members with disabilities. Results: The internal consistency of the IFCEA was very good, and claims for the construct validity were demonstrated. Accordingly, the confirmatory factor analysis of the IFCEA confirmed that the scale had …
