Physical, psychological, and social factors related to help-seeking preferences among older adults living in a community
Older adults who are struggling with mental health may have a high desire for help but also a high level of resistance to help, which may discourage them from requesting assistance. This suggests the importance of professionals' outreach. Further, the results indicate the importance of fostering social capital in the community
Relationship between face‐to‐face and non‐face‐to‐face communication, and well‐being in older volunteers during the pandemic
Volunteering older adults plays a role in maintaining well‐being through facilitation of face‐to‐face communication. However, the COVID‐19 pandemic reduced volunteer opportunities involving physical interaction among seniors. While studies have reported that indirect communication such as non‐face‐to‐face can support and improve mental health, it remains unclear whether it can substitute face‐to‐face communication among older volunteers accustome…
A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study on Home-Based Expressive Writing Intervention for Community-Dwelling Japanese Older Adults Who Care About Their Forgetfulness
Stress management activities that older adults can efficiently perform at home are needed. We therefore created a home-based expressive writing for older adults focusing on habituation and conducted a randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to the expressive writing group ( n = 42) and the active control group ( n = 40). The expressive writing group wrote about stressful events for 15 to 30 minutes 3 times each day at hom…
Evaluation of the usefulness of a paper–pencil group cognitive assessment for older adults in the community
PAPLICA, similar to other neuropsychological tests, was able to detect the effects of years of education and aging. Future testing should be conducted on different demographics to identify the differences in patterns of cognitive decline
How Single Older Men Reach Poverty and Its Relationship with Help‐Seeking Preferences 1
This study aimed to clarify patterns of poverty among single older men and examine this population's help‐seeking preferences. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 83 older single men in poverty. Three main patterns of poverty were identified: lifelong, job turnover, and retirement. A common characteristic among these patterns indicated that they did not recognize their difficulties as problems. Furthermore, we identified five groups of…
Randomized Controlled Trial of the Picture Book Reading Program on Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged People
Background: To delay cognitive decline, it is important to engage actively in preventive activities from middle age (50-64 years of age). We have developed a cognitive intervention program using picture book reading, and demonstrated that it is effective for improving memory in older adults. However, the effect of the intervention on memory and other cognitive functions in middle-aged people has not been examined. The current study investigated t…
