Do Older Adults Expect Reciprocity When Providing Family Support to Different Generations? Evidence From a Nationally Representative Sample of Rural and Urban China
The debate on whether family caregiving is reciprocal or altruistic remains unresolved. This study examined how older adults’ care expectation is associated with their caregiving for different generations, focusing on direct and indirect reciprocity and altruistic giving. Using baseline data from the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey ( n = 11,511), we employed a multiple-indicator-multiple-cause model to examine multi-dimensional care expect…
Application of Family Stress Theory: Predicting Wellbeing by Demands, Resources and Perceptions Among Caregivers of Older Adults
Family caregivers of older adults are at risk of high care burden and reduced quality of life. Existing research and practices had primarily focused on the caregiving dyad. However, it is often observed that multiple family members are involved in caregiving for older adults. We applied family stress theory to understand family caregiving and examined how care demands, resources, and perceptions are associated with and predict caregiver well‐bein…
Navigating Challenges in Peer Support Work: Perspectives of Peer Supporters From a Stepped Care Intervention for Older Adults With Depressive Symptoms
BACKGROUND: Serving as peer supporters in later life has been linked to a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life. How the wisdom of older adults could be leveraged to improve the implementation of peer support work, however, has rarely been considered. We aimed to examine the perspectives of peer supporters in this study, including the challenges they encountered in practice and the strategies they developed to navigate their roles. METHODS…
Different types of depression literacy and their impacts on reducing personal stigma towards late-life depression in older adults: Results from a pre-and-post intervention study
Personal stigma towards late-life depression, a barrier to help-seeking for older adults, may be reduced by improved depression literacy. This study adopted a pre-and-post-test design to investigate the relationships between types of depression literacy and stigma reduction. We recruited 976 older adults aged greater than or equal to fifty for a mental wellness education programme. The results of paired t-tests showed that the education programme…
Co-Developing Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Guidelines in Hong Kong: An Example of a Mental Health Literacy Promotion Project
Although community-based participatory research (CBPR) is context and cultural-specific, existing CBPR guidelines were developed in the West and may not be suitable for East Asian contexts given different cultural backgrounds. Moreover, most CBPR mental health literacy promotion projects have been conducted in the West, with limited examples in East Asia. Therefore, the objectives of the current study were to co-develop CBPR guidelines with stake…

Negative ageism and compassionate ageism in news coverage of older people under Covid-19: How did the pandemic progression and public health responses associate with different news themes
Previous studies have found negative ageing narratives in the media during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, few have focused on compassionate ageism and how the news responded to the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated (a) media themes of negative and compassionate ageism and (b) their relationships with COVID-19 parameters and the public health response. The sample included 1,197 articles relevant to COVID-19 and older people in…
Understanding and Addressing Older Adults’ Loneliness: The Social Relationship Expectations Framework
Loneliness is an experience resulting from a perceived discrepancy between expected and actual social relationships. Although this discrepancy is widely considered the “core mechanism” of loneliness, previous research and interventions have not sufficiently addressed what older adults specifically expect from their social relationships. To address this gap and to help situate research on older adults’ loneliness within broader life span developme…
Applying motivational framework in medical education: A self-determination theory perspectives
The SDT motivational framework can be adapted and applied in the IPE context to understand and enhance student motivation in medical education. Potential studies with the use of the scale are provided to guide researchers
Perceived Life Expectancy Predicts Time Investment in Productive Aging Activities: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study
OBJECTIVES: Despite known benefits of productive aging, it is unclear what explains time allocation in productive activities. We investigated whether productive engagement in older people can be explained by their age, health, socioeconomic status, and perceived life expectancy in Hong Kong. METHODS: We interviewed 390 community-dwelling older persons for their health and perceived life expectancy, followed by a 7-day ecological momentary assessm…
Linking the Scores of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment 5-min and the interRAI Cognitive Performance Scale in Older Adults With Mild Physical or Cognitive Impairment
Background: Bridging scores generated from different cognitive assessment tools is necessary to efficiently track changes in cognition across the continuum of care. This study linked scores from the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-5 min (MoCA 5-min) to the interRAI cognitive Performance Scale (CPS), commonly adopted tools in clinical and long-term care settings, respectively. Methods: We included individual-level data from persons who participated …
Perceived Help-Seeking Difficulty, Barriers, Delay, and Burden in Carers of People with Suspected Dementia
Because of an often complicated and difficult-to-access care system, help-seeking for people with suspected dementia can be stressful. Difficulty in help-seeking may contribute to carer burden, in addition to other known stressors in dementia care. This study examined the relationship between perceived help-seeking difficulty and carer burden, and the barriers contributing to perceived difficulty. We interviewed 110 carers accessing a community-b…
Economics and mental health: The current scenario
Economics and mental health are intertwined. Apart from the accumulating evidence of the huge economic impacts of mental ill‐health, and the growing recognition of the effects that economic circumstances can exert on mental health, governments and other budget‐holders are putting increasing emphasis on economic data to support their decisions. Here we consider how economic evaluation (including cost‐effectiveness analysis, cost‐utility analysis a…
Health Expectancies in Adults Aged 50 Years or Older in China
The world's largest aging population was spending a substantial proportion of remaining life years in suboptimal health and well-being, while remaining largely independent in basic self-care without severe impairments
The What, the Why, and the How: A Review of Racial Microaggressions Research in Psychology
Neighborhood Support and Aging-in-Place Preference Among Low-Income Elderly Chinese City-Dwellers
Low-income elderly Chinese city-dwellers prefer to age in place, given appropriate neighborhood support. These findings can be interpreted in light of Lawton's ecological theory of aging and suggest a service model similar to the Naturally Occurring Retirement Community with Supportive Service Programs
