Examining the Role of Childhood Adversity on Excess Alcohol Intake and Tobacco Exposure among US College Students
Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are often associated with substance use behaviors such as drinking excess alcohol and tobacco use. Resilience may protect individuals from engaging in these maladaptive behaviors following ACEs. Objectives: We examined the associations between ACEs and excessive alcohol consumption, and ACEs and tobacco intake and exposure among diverse college students, and whether resilience buffered this relation…
Predictors of Migrant Live-in Care Workers’ Burden/Burnout and Job Satisfaction When Caring for Frail Older Persons in Israel
The results suggest that fostering better relationships and improving employment conditions could help reduce care workers' burden/burnout as well as improve their degree of satisfaction
Māori Becoming Peer Educators in Later Life
The results demonstrated that kaumātua had strong communication in the peer educator role and that the intervention has positive impacts for them. The study contributes to peer intervention research that may help to improve experiences ofIndigenous and other older people
Aging Well in the Digital Age
The study suggests that ICT is used in all three SOC processes and that its effective application facilitates adjustment and enhances SWB. It should therefore be regarded as a resource that supports existing personal and social resources and life management strategies, and even as a Quality of Life Technology that maintains or enhances functioning in older adulthood
Left Like Stones in the Middle of the Road”
Similarities between research findings in Albania and Bulgaria reflect their shared political and institutional history. Although few, differences relate to a combination of contrasting migration and cultural patterns. In both settings problem- and emotion-focused adaptive strategies are overlapping, and successful aging efforts seem to be of a communal rather than an individualistic nature
Adverse Consequences of Unmet Needs for Care in High-Need/High-Cost Older Adults
Adverse consequences of unmet needs for care are prevalent among HNHC older adults, especially those with multiple indicators, despite more disability-related compensatory efforts and larger helper networks. Helping caregivers provide better informal care has potential to contain healthcare costs by reducing hospitalization and unplanned readmissions
Aging Alone, Gossiping Together
Higher rates of divorce and lifelong singlehood, coupled with increased longevity, will compel greater numbers of older adults to construct alternative support networks. My findings suggest that more will draw these connections from unconventional venues such as neighborhood public places
Translation and pilot testing of a measure to assess hypertension self-care activities among Hispanics
The Spanish version of the H-SCALE is a reliable and useful tool for clinicians working with Hispanic adults. Based on these findings, all adult Hispanics need lifestyle behavior counseling for primary and secondary prevention of hypertension and other chronic diseases. The H-SCALE can provide valuable information to clinical and public health practitioners focused on chronic disease prevention and management

Stress and Coping in African American Women With Chronic Heart Disease
This article examines the role of stress in relation to heart disease self-care among African American women. Women described a unique stress-coping model: Stress was a cause and contributor to “bad heart” and associated with “not worrying.” Family history of heart disease was used as an experiential reference scale to evaluate the severity of women’s heart health. Stress attributions were associated with coping practices to manage the effect of …
Satisfaction and Discontinuation of Contraception by Contraceptive Method Among University Women
Inside the Circus
Qualitative researchers are trained to acknowledge, reflect on, and understand our experiences and bias which form the context in which we will conduct research and inform our analyses. In this auto ethnographic account I describe how my personal experience with breast cancer has destabilized my professional life and my identity. Using the analogy of a circus, the story elements weave back and forth highlighting the three competing spheres of aca…
Weathering
Researchers have suggested that lifelong chronic and cumulative exposure to social and economic stressors is associated with early onset of chronic illness in African American women. Recent literature has demonstrated that socioeconomic aspects of neighborhoods contribute to health disparities in heart disease morbidity and mortality. In this article, the author analyzes the stories of older African American women concerning stress and other even…
