Asset-Based Community Development for Dementia-Friendly Communities (ABCD for DFC): Perspectives From Community Stakeholders
Dementia-friendly communities (DFCs) have gained global prominence as a key strategy to enable older adults living with dementia to live with dignity and without stigma. However, there is little understanding about how community stakeholders beyond those working directly with people affected by dementia can be effectively mobilized and contribute to the creation of DFCs. This study explores the underlying facilitators that enable community stakeh…
How time exposure, role engagement and task essence (“3E”) of volunteering interact to associate with healthy aging: A cross-sectional mixed-method study in Hong Kong
This study validates the 3E framework, demonstrating that role engagement optimizes the health benefits of late-life volunteering hours and volunteering types. Policymakers should transition from focusing solely on volunteering quantity to adopting a holistic approach that optimizes healthy-aging benefits of late-life volunteering
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…
A Chain Mediation Model Unveiling the Effectiveness of Timebanking on Quality of Life in Later Life: A Quasi-experimental Study in Hong Kong
Timebanking, a system where individuals earn time credits through volunteering and exchange them for goods and services, has potential to enhance quality of life (QoL). However, existing studies primarily rely on single-case or qualitative designs, leaving the mechanisms linking timebanking to QoL in older adults underexplored. This study examines the chain-mediating roles of volunteering hours and two sequential pathways — empowerment and belong…
Longitudinal associations between perception of future time and subjective well-being among middle-aged and older people in China: The moderating roles of individual health and socioeconomic status
Changes in older adults' perceptions of age-friendliness in Hong Kong: A three-year mixed-methods study
Spatial uncertainty and environment-health association: An empirical study of osteoporosis among "old residents" in public housing estates across a hilly environment
Objective and perceived built environment, sense of community, and mental wellbeing in older adults in Hong Kong: A multilevel structural equation study
The effects of neighbourhood migrant concentration on ageing-in-place preference among older people in China
This study investigates preference for ageing-in-place (AIP) among local older adults in a Chinese county with a large concentration of internal migrants. The current study was a secondary analysis of data from 755 community-dwelling elderly linked with county-level neighbourhood administrative data. We found that older adults living in neighbourhoods with a high concentration of migrants were 46% less likely to prefer AIP than those living in ne…
Longitudinal associations between neighbourhood physical environments and depressive symptoms of older adults in Hong Kong: The moderating effects of terrain slope and declining functional abilities
Neighborhood Built Environment and Late-Life Depression: A Multilevel Path Analysis in a Chinese Society
Our findings have implications for the ecological model of aging. The mediating effects of SA and FA underscore the importance of promoting active social lifestyles and maintaining FA for older adults' mental health in high-density cities. Policy implications on how to build age-friendly communities are discussed
Perceived Housing Conditions, Home Satisfaction, Control Beliefs over Aging Experience, and Life Satisfaction among Chinese Older Adults: A Path Analysis Study
Background Knowledge about the mechanisms of home satisfaction affecting life satisfaction among elderly during the aging process is limited. This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of perceived control over aging experience on the relationship between home satisfaction and life satisfaction.Methods The secondary data collected from face-to-face questionnaire interviews with a sample of 755 community-dwelling Chinese older adults were…
The associations between neighborhood characteristics and the self-rated health and life satisfaction of community-dwelling older adults in China
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
The Effects of Neighborhood Variables on Needs of Social Care: A Hierarchical Multiple Regression of Senior Residents in China
Community-based elder care has become a dominant model in the world. However, the role of community-level factors in helping or hindering the individuals concerned in obtaining the needed care has not received much attention. This research aims to investigate how community-level factors, including neighborhood disadvantage, residential instability, and social service environment affect the need for instrumental, medical, and emotional services of…
