A Longitudinal Examination of the Effects of Early Influences and Midlife Characteristics on Successful Aging
Findings suggest that successful aging is a fluid construct and that although some characteristics identifiable early in life predict successful aging, others are dampened by midlife statuses
Neighborhood characteristics and depressive symptoms of older people: Local spatial analyses
Balancing Caregiving and Work: Role Conflict and Role Strain Dynamics
Positing role conflict as a bidirectional construct in which work interferes with caregiving (WIC) and caregiving interferes with work (CIW), this study investigated its antecedents (demands and support of caregiving and work) and consequences (role strain). A national sample of 583 women between the ages of 50 and 64 years identified using random-digit-dial procedures completed a telephone survey. Structural equation modeling revealed that careg…
Using Probability vs. Nonprobability Sampling to Identify Hard-to-Access Participants for Health-Related Research: Costs and Contrasts
This article compares the recruitment costs and participant characteristics associated with the use of probability and nonprobability sampling strategies in a longitudinal study of older hemodialysis patients and their spouses. Contrasts were made of people who accrued to the study based on probability and nonprobability sampling strategies. Probability-based sampling was more time-efficient and cost-effective than nonprobability sampling. There …
Interview Modality: Effects on Costs and Data Quality in a Sample of Older Women
Objectives:To contrast the costs and quality of data collected in person, by telephone, and by self-administered questionnaires in a sample of older persons. Methods: Data collected via interviews with 586 women are contrasted on four dimensions. Results:The cost of data collection was 25% to 30% lower for the self-administered mode than for other modes. Response rates were highest for the inperson interviewand lowest for the self-administered qu…
Death of an Institutionalized Parent: Predictors of Bereavement
A multidimensional analysis of bereavement experienced by eighty-four adult children whose parents died following a stay in a long term care facility indicated that pre-death indicators of strain (length of stay, parent's cognitive status, child's feelings about parent living in a nursing home, depression) had varying levels of predictive power regarding the extent to which the child reported feeling sad, experiencing persistent thoughts about th…
