Can serious games truly stand the test of aging? An Anova and random forest study exploring the long-term effects of multimodal interaction on cognitive load in adaptive serious games
Global population aging poses significant challenges to cognitive health, making the development of effective interventions to delay cognitive decline an urgent priority. This study focuses on adaptive serious games and, drawing on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and Cognitive Load Theory, investigates the short- and long-term effects of specific multimodal interaction combinations on older adults’ cognitive load. Study 1 employed a two-way ANOV…
Correlation of the nutritional risk index with depression and suicidal ideation
Geographic Variation in Preventable Hospitalizations among US Children with Autism
There is a limited amount of research on geographic differences in preventable hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) among children with autism. The purpose of this study was to examine US regional differences in potentially preventable hospital admissions for pediatric inpatients diagnosed with autism. Hospital discharge data for six pediatric preventable conditions were obtained from the 2016-2019 National Inpatient …
Access to Care for US Children with Co-Occurrence of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a common comorbidity among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is a lack of understanding of the inequality in access to care for children with co-occurring ASD and epilepsy (ASD-EP). The purpose of this study is to examine key indicators for access to care and care coordination for children with ASD-EP in the US National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). Data were collected from the 2017-2019 NSCH. Our analytic samp…
Characteristics Associated with Improved Physical Performance among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in a Community-Based Falls Prevention Program
This was a retrospective analysis of quasi-longitudinal data from an ongoing, community-based falls prevention program. The purpose was to identify participant characteristics predicting improvement on physical performance measures associated with falls risk. Community-dwelling older adults ≥60 years old participated in a community-based implementation of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP). Participants with increased falls risk ( n = 353) were pro…
Quality of End‐of‐Life Care Among Rural Medicare Beneficiaries With Colorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND: Although previous research has documented rural disparities in hospice use, limited data exist on the roles of geographic access in different types of end-of-life indicators among cancer survivors. METHODS: Medicare claims data were used to identify beneficiaries with colorectal cancer who died in 2008 (N = 34,975). We evaluated rural-urban differences in ER visits 90 days before death, inpatient hospital admissions ≤90 days before de…
The Use of “Mixing” Procedure of Mixed Methods in Health Services Research
BACKGROUND: Mixed methods research has emerged alongside qualitative and quantitative approaches as an important tool for health services researchers. Despite growing interest, among health services researchers, in using mixed methods designs, little has been done to identify the procedural aspects of doing so. PURPOSE: To describe how mixed methods researchers mix the qualitative and quantitative aspects of their studies in health services resea…
Uninsured Hospitalizations
Context: Few studies have examined hospitalization patterns among the uninsured, especially from the perspective of rural and urban differences. Purpose: To examine whether the patterns of uninsured hospitalizations differ in rural and urban hospitals and to identify the most prevalent and costly diagnoses among uninsured hospitalizations. Methods: We conducted a cross‐sectional analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's National I…
The Role of Rural Health Clinics in Hospitalization due to Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions
Context: Hospitalization due to ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) is often used as an indicator for measuring access to primary care. Rural health clinics (RHCs) provide basic primary care services for rural residents in health professional shortage areas (HPSAs). The relationship between RHCs and ACSCs is unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the presence of RHCs in rural HPSAs and the lik…
