Psychological Flexibility in Dementia Caregiving: The Adaptive Support Model
Dementia caregiving often involves sustained emotional disruption and ambiguous loss, yet many interventions focus on burden reduction without specifying the adaptive processes that sustain caregiving over time. We propose psychological flexibility as a central moderating process in how caregivers interpret stressors, mobilize resources, and sustain engagement in the face of chronic relational ambiguity. Drawing from the Family Adjustment and Ada…
Family Communication Patterns, Emotion Suppression, and Coping: The Role of Conformity Orientation and Its Components
This study examined the relationship between family communication patterns (FCPs) in the family of origin, emotion suppression, and four common coping behaviors (drinking alcohol, masturbating, eating, and watching TV). Participants included 504 U.S. young adults (aged 18–30) raised in first-marriage families who responded to an online survey. Conformity orientation had positive, indirect effects on watching TV and eating to cope through emotion …
Family Caregivers’ Progress Toward Values Moderates the Associations between Behavioral Symptoms of Dementia, Caregiver Burden, and Depressive Symptoms
Increasingly, dementia caregiver interventions are informed by acceptance-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These interventions promote psychological skills like psychological flexibility and value-based living. Less is known how these constructs interact within well-established caregiver stress processes. We examined a moderated mediation model (N = 161 dementia caregivers; PROCESS Procedure; SPSS Release 4.1), with BPS…
Third wave behavioral interventions for individuals with Dementia: A systematic review
Predictive Factors of Negative Spillover From Caregiving to Employment Among Japanese Family Caregivers With Older Relatives in a Care Facility
This cross-sectional study included 211 employed family caregivers with older relatives living in care facilities in Japan. Using multiple linear regression analysis, we examined the caregiving context after institutionalization of an older family member. Specifically, we examined predictors of negative spillover from caregiving to employment among family caregivers. The outcome was the extent of negative spillover. Primary predictors included ca…
The Healthy Caregiver? A Positive Impact of Informal Caregiving Status on Cognitive Functions Over Time From the Midlife in the United States Study
After controlling for covariates, caregiving at both waves was independently associated with better performance in episodic memory ( b = .24, SE = .10, p = .013) but not executive function ( b = -.06, SE = .05, p = .246). Discussion: The findings partially supported both healthy caregiver and stress process models, indicating caregiving may be associated with better episodic memory but not executive functioning over time among the middle-aged and…
Daily Sleep and Anxious and Depressive Symptoms Among Dementia Caregivers—The Mediation of Cortisol Total Output on High- and Low-Stress Days
Staying longer in bed than usual before an upcoming high-stress day may help dementia family caregivers better regulate cortisol stress reactivity and anxious symptoms
Associations Between Fine Motor Performance in Activities of Daily Living and Cognitive Ability in a Nondemented Sample of Older Adults: Implications for Geriatric Physical Rehabilitation
In nondemented older adults, cognitive speed predicts ADL-related FMA after controlling for age and physical ability. Physical rehabilitation of FMA in ADL tasks should consider the importance of cognitive ability, even in nondemented older adults
Comparing changes in late-life depressive symptoms across aging, disablement, and mortality processes
Developmental processes are inherently time-related, with various time metrics and transition points being used to proxy how change is organized with respect to the theoretically underlying mechanisms. Using data from 4 Swedish studies of individuals aged 70-100+ (N = 453) who were measured every 2 years for up to 5 waves, we tested whether depressive symptoms (according to the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; Radloff, 1977) are…
Multidomain trajectories of psychological functioning in old age: A longitudinal perspective on (uneven) successful aging
Life-span developmentalists have long been interested in the nature of and the contributing factors to successful aging. Using variable-oriented approaches, research has revealed critical insights into the intricacies of human development and successful aging. In the present study, we opted instead for a more subgroup-oriented approach and examined multiple-indicator information of late-life change at the person level. We applied latent profile a…
Predictors of Dementia Caregiver Depressive Symptoms in a Population: The Cache County Dementia Progression Study
These results suggest that depression may be less prevalent in populations of dementia caregivers than in clinic-based samples, but that the correlates of depression are similar for both population and convenience samples. Interventions targeting individuals with small support networks, emotion-focused coping styles, poorer health, low quality of life, and those caring for persons with higher numbers of behavioral problems need development and te…
Changes in Depressive Symptoms in the Context of Disablement Processes: Role of Demographic Characteristics, Cognitive Function, Health, and Social Support
Our findings are consistent with conceptual notions implicating disability-related factors as key contributors to late-life change and suggest that contextual and psychosocial factors play a pivotal role for how well people adapt to late-life challenges
