I Must Be the One to Change; He’s Doing the Best He Can”
We created a comprehensive, four-part, in-person, interactive community education series to teach informal, unpaid care partners of persons living with dementia (PLWD) how to support their PLWD, negotiate common day-to-day challenges, and navigate predictable situations that arise as the disease progresses over time. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the series impact on participant knowledge, care practices, and perceptions of…
Differences in Medication Use by Gender and Race in Hospitalized Persons Living with Dementia
Gender differences in interactions and depressive symptoms among hospitalized older patients living with dementia
Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia (ADRD) disproportionately affects women with two-thirds of individuals with ADRD comprised of women. This study examined gender-related differences in the quality of staff-patient interactions and depressive symptoms among hospitalized older patients living with dementia. This secondary analysis utilized baseline data of 140 hospitalized older patients with dementia who participated in the final cohort of…
Nursing Students' Knowledge, Personality Traits, and Self-Efficacy Related to Medication Administration Error
Background: Nursing education influences medication administration practices, which involve clinical decision making and risk perceptions. Method: This mixed-methods concurrent nested study explored the relationship among knowledge, personality traits, and self-efficacy related to medication administration error in fourth-year, prelicen-sure nursing students ( n = 60) who were recruited from three campuses of a large university. Results: Results …
Psychometrics of the Physical Resilience Scale in Older Adults Living with Dementia
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if proxies can complete the Physical Resilience Scale for older adults living with dementia. Methods: This was a descriptive study using Rasch analysis and baseline data from the Function Focused Care for Acute Care Using the Evidence Integration Triangle trial. The first 240 patients living with dementia were included in this analysis. Results: There was evidence of reliability based on pers…
Gender differences in presentation and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia among nursing home residents with moderate to severe dementia
Lack of identification and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) can negatively impact female residents. The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to explore gender differences in presentation and management of BPSD and quality of interactions between residents and staff. A total of 553 residents from 55 nursing homes were included. Males exhibited more apathy and sexually inappropriate behavior and females …
The Role of Frailty in Predicting 3 and 6 Months Functional Decline in Hospitalized Older Adults
Frailty represents one of the most relevant geriatric syndromes in the 21st century and is a predictor of adverse outcomes in hospitalized older adult, such as, functional decline (FD). This study aimed to examine if frailty, evaluated with the Frailty Index (FI), can predict FD during and after hospitalization (3 and 6 months). Secondary data analysis of a prospective cohort study of 101 hospitalized older adults was performed. The primary outco…
Disparities in Physical and Psychological Symptoms in Hospitalized African American and White Persons with Dementia
Objectives: This study examined differences in physical function, delirium, depressive symptoms, and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in hospitalized African American and white older adults with dementia. Methods: This secondary data analysis using baseline data from an ongoing trial testing family-centered function-focused care included African American ( n = 159) and white persons ( n =135) with dementia. Results: A mult…
Reliability and Validity Testing of the Assessment of the Environment for Person-Centered Management of BPSD and Assessment of Policies for Person-Centered Management of BPSD Measures
The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Assessment of the Environment for Person-Centered Management of BPSD and the Assessment of Policies for Person-Centered Management of BPSD. The sample included 35 long term care facilities. There was evidence of reliability based on internal consistency and test-retest reliability of both measures. There was some evidence of validity based on Rasch model testing and INFIT a…
Income hiding and informal redistribution
The Risk of Polygamy and Wives' Saving Behavior
In a polygamous society, all monogamous women are potentially at risk of polygamy. However, the anthropological and economic literatures are silent on the potential impact of the risk of polygamy on the economic decisions of monogamous wives. This paper explores this issue in Senegal, using individual panel data. The paper first estimates a Cox model for the probability of transition to polygamy. Second, it estimates the impact of the predicted r…
