Foundation Level Barriers to the Widespread Adoption of Digital Solutions by Care Homes: Insights from Three Scottish Studies
The care home sector has great potential to benefit from technological innovations and to be at the forefront of developing novel digital solutions to improve the experiences of care home residents, their families, and the staff caring for them. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed variability in digital capabilities and longstanding data challenges within the care home sector. Paradoxically, however, it also increased the use of digital tools and servi…
Mental health differences between men and women caregivers, BRFSS 2009
This study uses data from the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) to examine differences between male and female caregivers by demographics, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and the effect of social support on HRQOL. Roughly two-thirds of caregivers were women, and demographic characteristics differed among men and women caregivers. Women caregivers reported significantly more mentally and physically unhealthy days tha…
A Systematic Review of Intervention Studies to Prevent Hospitalizations of Community-dwelling Older Adults With Dementia
Polling Places, Pharmacies, and Public Health: Vote & Vax 2012
US national elections, which draw sizable numbers of older voters, take place during flu-shot season and represent an untapped opportunity for large-scale delivery of vaccinations. In 2012, Vote & Vax deployed a total of 1585 clinics in 48 states; Washington, DC; Guam; Puerto Rico; and the US Virgin Islands. Approximately 934 clinics were located in pharmacies, and 651 were near polling places. Polling place clinics delivered significantly more v…
How Design of Places Promotes or Inhibits Mobility of Older Adults: Realist Synthesis of 20 Years of Research
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the environmental features that best support aging in place. Method: We conducted a realist synthesis, a theory-driven interpretive method of evidence synthesis, of 120+ articles (published 1991-2011) that attempts to explain how place may influence older adults’ decisions about mobility (e.g., physical activity). We developed an initial program theory, reviewed the literature, identified ou…
Aging in the United States: Opportunities and Challenges for Public Health
Developing an Integrated Strategy to Reduce Ethnic and Racial Disparities in the Delivery of Clinical Preventive Services for Older Americans
Objectives. To determine the optimum strategy for increasing up-to-date (UTD) levels in older Americans, while reducing disparities between White, Black, and Hispanic adults, aged 65 years and older. Methods. Data were analyzed from the 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, quantifying the proportion of older Americans UTD with influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, mammograms, Papanicolaou tests, and colorectal cancer screening. A c…
Aging and Health in America: A Tale From Two Boomers
In this article the authors discuss the experiences that they encountered while attempting to care for their older parents with serious medical conditions. A discussion of the challenges that many U.S. consumers face when attempting to care for aging parents, and of the role that public health services can play in helping to alleviate or manage the challenges, is presented
Changes in Mental Well-Being in the Transition to Late Life: Findings From Midus I and II
The number of adults aged 65 years and older is increasing rapidly, creating public health challenges. We used data from the 1995 and 2005 national surveys of Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) to compare changes in mental well-being of participants (n = 1007) of 3 age cohorts (ages 45–54 years, 55–64 years, and 65–74 years in 1995). Older adults experienced a slight decline in mental well-being not seen among younger participants and not expla…
Singing for Life: HIV/Aids and music in Uganda, by Gregory Barz; foreword by Jim Wooten
Gregory Barz offers an ethnography of how education about HIV/AIDS is presented to Ugandan audiences through music, dance, and drama. Working with medical doctors, indigenous healers, and women's groups since 1999, he investigates how song texts refer to HIV/AIDS, and how women suffering from HIV/AIDS have become empowered through their music, dance, and drama presentations, thus Singing for life. While in the past HIV/AIDS victims were afraid to…
Older Adults' Views of “Successful Aging”—How Do They Compare with Researchers' Definitions?
Objectives: To determine whether older adults have thought about aging and aging successfully and to compare their perceptions of successful aging with attributes of successful aging identified in the published literature. Design: A cross‐sectional, mailed survey. Setting: King County, Washington. Participants: Nondemented participants from two cohorts. The first cohort, referred to as Kame, which means turtle, a symbol of longevity for Japanese,…
Population-based strategy for improving informed decision making about hormone replacement therapy in managed care settings
Prevalence of and factors associated with hormone replacement therapy counseling: Results from the 1994 National Health Interview Survey
OBJECTIVES: This study estimated the prevalence of and the factors associated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) counseling. METHODS: We analyzed the responses of 3170 women, aged 40 to 60 years, from the 1994 National Health Interview Survey. RESULTS: The prevalence of HRT counseling was 43.6%. Women were more likely to report having received HRT counseling if they were White, older, more educated, had had a hysterectomy, had experienced men…
Role Dimensions of Patient and Physician in Medical Interviews: Relationship to Patients' Satisfaction
We applied the Verbal Response Mode coding system to 80 medical interviews to characterize role dimensions of patient and physician and to assess the relation between physicians' role dimensions and patients' satisfaction. Role dimensions conformed closely to prior work Physicians' acquiescence was positively correlated with satisfaction. This study suggests that the role dimensions generated by the Verbal Response Mode taxonomy are a useful meas…
Self-Management of Chronic Disease by Older Adults: A Review and Questions for Research
This article summarizes the literature describing the at-home management of and psychosocial coping with five chronic diseases (heart disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arthritis, and diabetes) by the general population of adults. It also reviews the literature describing self-management of these chronic diseases by older adults. Conclusions drawn subsequent to the review are (a) that there are strong commonalities in the ess…
Development of the Trust in Physician Scale: A Measure to Assess Interpersonal Trust Inpatient-Physician Relationships
Development of the Trust in Physician Scale: A Measure to Assess Interpersonal Trust Inpatient-Physician Relationships
Development of the Trust in Physician Scale: A Measure to Assess Interpersonal Trust in Patient-Physician Relationships
Trust is widely acknowledged as an essential ingredient in patient-physician relationships. Given a dearth of situation-specific measures designed to quantify patients' trust in their physicians, we set out to develop an instrument to assess a patient's interpersonal trust in his physician. Findings from two studies are reported describing the development and validation of the Trust in Physician scale. Study 1 of 160 participants provided prelimi…
Effects of Modeling on Patient Communication, Satisfaction, and Knowledge
This experimental study investigated the efficacy of two modeling procedures on enhancing patient communication. A pretreatment interview assessed knowledge, assertiveness, and other concomitant variables. A total of 150 subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions. The two modeling conditions were videotaped presentations of a health educator interacting with a patient (i.e., model) who either asked questions or revealed …
