Cultural expectations, tensions and support systems for Māori carers in Aotearoa New Zealand during the pandemic
The qualitative study reported here explored the experiences of Māori carers in Aotearoa New Zealand during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Drawing on 35 in-depth interviews, the research examined how Māori caregiving responsibilities intersected with Māori cultural values. Using thematic analysis, findings identified that carers navigated complex cultural responsibilities while facing systemic barriers, social injustices and limited external suppo…

Longitudinal Cohort Study of Depression and Anxiety Among Older Informal Caregivers Following the Initial Covid-19 Pandemic Response in Aotearoa New Zealand
Economic hardship and social capital provide targets for supporting psychological wellbeing of older caregivers during periods of pandemic restrictions
An Application of the Resource-Based Dynamic Process Model in the Context of Retirement Planning
Retirement planning is a widely promoted activity to enhance wellbeing for aging populations. However, there is limited follow-up data to understand the antecedents of multi-dimensional retirement planning activities, the resources such activities produce or the explanatory mechanisms. This research draws on recent theorizing, which suggests that retirement planning may play a mediating role in explaining how pre-retirement antecedents are transf…
Impact of Flexible Work Arrangements on Key Challenges to Work Engagement Among Older Workers
As workforces age, organizations are challenged to provide human resource management policies and practices that are responsive to the needs of older workers. Flexible work arrangements (FWAs)—practices that allow workers to influence when, where, and how work is completed—have been promoted as enabling older workers to maintain work engagement by decreasing demands of the work role, providing the autonomy to balance work and nonwork commitments,…
Social Exclusion among African Immigrants in the United States
Research suggests exclusionary mechanisms fostering negative socioeconomic outcomes for African immigrants. This study explored predictors of social exclusion among immigrants from African countries living in the United States. The authors examined four dimensions of social exclusion that entail social–cultural and structural–economic exclusion. Authors used structural equation modeling to analyze cross-sectional survey data from first- and secon…
Trajectories of material living standards, physical health and mental health under a universal pension
OBJECTIVE: Aged pension schemes aim to support material and non-material well-being of older populations. The current work aimed to describe dominant trajectories of material living standards in the decades prior to and following eligibility for an aged pension, and describe associated trajectories of physical and mental health. METHODS: Longitudinal data on living standards and indices of health Short Form 12 were collected over 2-12 years follo…
Longitudinal Analysis of the Relationship Between Purposes of Internet Use and Well-being Among Older Adults
Purpose: There is support for the role of Internet use in promoting well-being among older people. However, there are also contradictory findings which may be attributed to methodological issues. First, research has focused on frequency of online activity rather than how engagement in different types of online activities may influence well-being. Secondly, previous studies have used either cross-sectional designs, which cannot elucidate causality…

Loneliness, socio-economic status and quality of life in old age
The study investigated housing tenure as a factor moderating the effects of loneliness and socio-economic status (SES) on quality of life (control and autonomy, pleasure, and self-realisation) over a two-year period for older adults. Data from the 2010 and 2012 waves of the New Zealand Health, Work, and Retirement Study were analysed. Using case-control matching, for each tenant (N = 332) we selected a home-owner (N = 332) of the same age, gender…
The sensitivity of the MOS SF-12 and PROMIS® global summary scores to adverse health events in an older cohort
A Capabilities Approach to Unequal Trajectories of Healthy Aging
Objectives: We aimed to examine the relationships of older people's standard of living and perceived quality of housing and neighborhoods, with different physical, mental, and social well-being trajectories over time. Method: Longitudinal data from 2,483 New Zealanders (55-70 years of age in 2006) surveyed biennially for 10 years were analyzed using latent profile growth analysis and MANOVA. Results: Five health trajectories were revealed: robust…
Longitudinal Trajectories of Quality of Life and Depression by Housing Tenure Status
Health effects of informal caring in New Zealand
This study investigates changes in the mental and physical health of carers compared to non-carers over 10 years in a sample of New Zealanders aged 54–70. Mental health increased slightly over time for all participants but there was no difference in trajectory change based on carer status except for those who stopped caring. No significant differences in physical health or differences in trajectory change for physical health across time based on …
Longitudinal Trajectories of Quality of Life and Depression by Housing Tenure Status
The psychological benefits of home ownership highlight the importance of secure and sustainable housing. Policies should be designed to ensure access to safe housing solutions for all older people
Reconciling Work and Caregiving Responsibilities among Older Workers in New Zealand
The health and wellbeing of Australian farmers
Remoteness is a significant factor in the mental health and wellbeing of farmers, more so than financial stress, rural factors and recent adverse events. Creative programs and policies that improve access for farmers to GPs and mental health professionals should be supported
The “Health Benefits” of Moderate Drinking in Older Adults may be Better Explained by Socioeconomic Status
SES plays a key role in presumed "heath benefits" of moderate alcohol consumption for older adults. It accounts for any alcohol-health relationship in a sample of men of whom 45% consume at least one drink daily, and substantially attenuates the association between alcohol and health in a sample of women who are not frequent drinkers. Prior research may have missed the influence of SES on this alcohol-health relationship due to the use of incompl…
Construct Validation of Wenger’s Support Network Typology
Findings confirm the validity of Wenger's network types. However, the level to which participants endorse accessibility of family, frequency of interactions, and community engagement can be influenced by sample and contextual characteristics. Future research using the PANT items should empirically verify and derive the social support network types, rather than use a predefined scoring system
Relatives’ Experiences of Frontal-Variant Frontotemporal Dementia
In this article we address how relatives of people with frontal-variant frontotemporal dementia (fvFTD) experience the illness and how it impacts their lives. We interviewed 6 participants and carried out interpretative phenomenological analysis. We report on 11 themes that reflect distinctive challenges. Five themes relate to witnessing bizarre and strange changes: changed appetites and drives, loss of planning ability, loss of inhibition leadin…
G iovanni B ellini's B aptism of C hrist in its visual and devotional context
The D ominican church of S anta C orona in V icenza owed its status and nomenclature to its prestigious relic from the crown of thorns. In the early fifteenth century, the reliquary and its procession were enhanced; the community appeared to increase in number and was taken over by a reform movement. From the late 1470s, an ambitious spatial transformation involved removing the prominent choir precinct from the upper nave; constructing an extende…

Carthusian Choir Stalls and the Misericord in Italy
The majority of choir stalls in Italy lack misericords. Their unusual presence in Piedmont and the Valle d'Aosta most probably reflects their proximity to, and the influence of, northern Europe. This paper reveals that the rare instances of misericords elsewhere in Italy are connected to the Carthusian order. Rather than performing an artistic role, their presence is derived from the specific rubrics of Carthusian liturgy, which legislated in det…
P2-496 An interaction of social support and remoteness in the prediction of psychological distress
Introduction The influence of social support on mental health outcomes may vary with remoteness in Australian communities. However, the potential variation of determinants of mental health with remoteness has rarely been directly examined. The current research aims to examine the association of social support and distress with remoteness. Methods Community cohorts from rural and urban New South Wales were combined (N=5924; mean age=61.1 yrs; 44.2…

Fear during Alcohol Detoxification
Little is known about fears experienced during alcohol detoxification. Using qualitative research this preliminary study analysed descriptions of fears during one-to-one interviews about the experience of undertaking alcohol detoxification. Fears about detoxification centred around four main areas: the setting in which the process takes place, the physical consequences of withdrawal, the medication given to manage detoxification and the experienc…

The Choir Stalls of Lincoln Cathedral, Chester Cathedral and St Mary's Church, Nantwich
Responding to the relatively sparse literature on choir stall canopies, this article concentrates on the micro-architectural canopies of the Lincoln, Chester and Nantwich stalls of the late 14th century. At Lincoln, a new three-dimensional polygonal canopy design appears, the precedents and sources for which include the York Minster chapter-house stalls, tombs, bishops' thrones and the Stratford monument in Canterbury Cathedral. The circumstances…
