Evaluating digital health literacy interventions for adults 45+ years
Digital health literacy is increasingly vital for equitable healthcare, yet adults aged 45+ may face age-related and psychosocial barriers that limit digital engagement. Interventions targeting these barriers are crucial. This review mapped the design and effectiveness of current digital health literacy interventions for adults 45+ years, assessing how they addressed biological, psychological, and social (biopsychosocial) dimensions and key outco…

Protocol for a Field Trial of a Hearing and Vision Support Intervention for People Living in Long‐Term Care in Australia
INTRODUCTION: Hearing and vision impairments are prevalent among residents in long-term care settings. Hearing and vision impairments frequently go unsupported, affecting residents' quality of life and healthcare costs. This paper describes the protocol for a pre-post evaluation and process evaluation of a pragmatic sensory support intervention (SSI) that was developed with residents, informal caregivers and long-term care workers. METHODS AND AN…
Bridging the mental health gap
Transforming global approaches to chronic disease prevention and management across the lifespan
Chronic illnesses are a major threat to global population health through the lifespan into older age. Despite world-wide public health goals, there has been a steady increase in chronic and non-communicable diseases (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders) and strong growth in mental health disorders. In 2010, 67% of deaths worldwide were due to chronic diseases and this increased to 74% in 2019, with accelerated growth in the COVID…
Identifying Public Healthcare Priorities in Virtual Care for Older Adults
Stakeholders prioritised public health virtual care initiatives that are easy to adopt and address needs that are perceived to be more immediate (acute more so than chronic care). Virtual care initiatives that incorporate more technology and integrated elements are valued, but more information is needed to inform their potential scale-up
Being treated like an actual person
Whilst the essential nature of built environment accessibility has been well established in transport research, attitudinal, behavioural, and communication barriers experienced by transport users remain largely overlooked. Subtle and insidious, repetitive negative attitudes, behaviour, and communication can force disabled passengers out of the most affordable transport option available. Applying the Disability Justice Framework and a Mobility Jus…
The experience of structural burden for culturally and linguistically diverse family carers of people living with dementia in Australia
Evidence suggests that family carers of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people living with dementia experience higher stress and unmet need than the general Australian population. These disparities are often framed as the result of CALD communities failing to seek formal support. Challenging this, we draw on the concept of 'structural burden' to explore how the complexity of health and aged systems contribute to the burden that CALD …
Boundary Crossers
In negotiating cultural, social, and professional boundaries, providers undertake multidimensional and complex work that involves education, advocacy, negotiation, navigation, creativity, and emotional engagement. This work is largely undervalued but offers a model of care that facilitates social and community development as well as service integration across health, aged care, and social services
The Development of a Competency Assessment Standard for General Practitioners in China
This paper describes the development of a competency assessment standard for General Practitioners in Shenzhen, China. The standard is to be used for developing and delivering the training curriculum for general practitioners. The requirement for the training of General Practitioners mandated by government policy requires an international competitive curriculum to meet the needs of patients and the community. A Delphi process was employed to arri…
The inter-relationship of diversity principles for the enhanced participation of older people in their care
Health and aged care training should incorporate the five diversity principles to support older people to participate in their own care
Self‐assessed impact of oral health on the psychological well‐being and depressive symptoms of older adults living in Melbourne
Oral health, specifically the appearance of the mouth and dentition, plays a significant role in the PW of older Melbournians. Future cross-sectional and longitudinal studies are indicated to raise awareness on the changes required to improve the quality of life of the older population
Older Women in Australia
With the increase in longevity, the number of women living into old age is rising and higher than that of men. Data was derived from the Melbourne Longitudinal Studies on Healthy Ageing Program, which included 533 women and 467 men aged 65 years and older, in Australia, over 10 years. Logistic regression modeling was used to investigate the prevalence of dual sensory loss and the unmet needs for vision and hearing devices in older women (compared…
Trajectories of ageing well among older Australians
In this study we used individual differences concepts and analyses to examine whether older people achieve different ageing-well states universally or whether there are identifiable key groups that achieve them to different extents. The data used in the modelling were from a prospective 16-year longitudinal study of 1,000 older Australians. We examined predictors of trajectories for ageing well using self-rated health, psychological wellbeing and…
Social inclusion and the Fatosphere
Overweight and obesity are one of the most salient issues within society today, and the stigmatisation of overweight individuals is prevalent and widespread. Utilising interviews with 44 individuals who blog within an online fat acceptance community known as the Fatosphere, participants' perceptions of inclusion and exclusion were examined within their offline and online environments. Additionally, the effect this had on their offline lives was e…
The health and service needs of older veterans
BACKGROUND: With substantial numbers of older people within the Australian veteran population continuing to age well within the community, appropriate planning of community support and health services is important for this ageing population. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research study was to investigate the health and service usage of a group of older Australian war veterans who receive Australian Government support for their health-care needs …
Civic Socialising
The research reported in this article investigated the nature and the purpose of older people's social interactions in their local neighbourhood shops. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with and observation of 11 shoppers, aged 67 years and older, and six shopkeepers. Classic grounded theory analysis method revealed a previously uncharted psycho-social process associated with these interactions entitled by the authors as Civic S…
Predictors of Injurious Falls and Fear of Falling Differ
The profile of the person who will have an injurious fall differs from the profile of the person who develops a FOF and should be considered when designing interventions
Older adults' spirituality and life satisfaction
Spirituality is proposed to be a component of successful ageing and has been shown to predict wellbeing in old age. There has been conceptual discussion of possible mechanisms that link spirituality with positive psychological functioning in older adults, but few empirical examinations of these linking mechanisms over time. The current study examined the role of Antonovsky's Sense of Coherence (SOC) and social support in mediating the effects of …
A simple measure with complex determinants
We conclude that when examining correlates of SRH, the similarities are greater than the differences between countries. There are however differences in levels of SRH which are not fully accounted for by the health correlates. Broad generalizations about styles of responding are not helpful for understanding these differences, which appear to be country, and possibly cohort specific. When using SRH to characterize the health status of older peopl…
We want a peaceful life here and hereafter’
Healthy ageing concepts have been extensively studied in Western societies but few studies have explored the perceptions of older people from other cultural backgrounds. The aim of the study was to explore the conceptualisations of healthy ageing and perceived influences on ageing well amongst relatively healthy older Malays, a major ethnic group in Malaysia. Eight focus groups were conducted, with 38 participants recruited via community groups a…

The communication and psychosocial perceptions of older adults with sensory loss
Sensory loss (visual and/or hearing loss) is prevalent in older adults. Decreased vision and/or hearing acuity often result in poor communication and psychosocial functioning. This qualitative study explores the communication and psychosocial perceptions of a group of older adults with single or dual sensory loss. The aims were to identify the communication difficulties and conversational strategies used by the subjects, and to explore their perc…

Challenges of recruitment and retention of older people from culturally diverse communities in research
The substantial and increasing number of older Australian people from culturally diverse backgrounds justifies the investigation and inclusion of their experiences in ageing research. Few empirical studies have addressed culturally diverse issues in the older population, however, in part because of the particular challenges in recruiting and retaining people from different cultural backgrounds. This article reflects on a research team's experienc…

Evaluating a Dichotomized Measure of Self-Reported Hearing Loss Against Gold Standard Audiometry
Self-report of hearing loss is insensitive to age effects and does not provide a reliable basis for estimating prevalence of age-related hearing loss, although may indicate perceived hearing disability
Secondary school students' knowledge of and attitudes towards older people
It is now increasingly recognised that if we are to combat ageism the attitudes and knowledge of young people need to be more positively constructed so that they do not hold stereotypic views of ageing. This study evaluates the impact of an educational intervention programme on the attitudes and knowledge of students aged 17–18 years from six secondary schools in Melbourne, Australia. Using Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz to assess knowledge about …

Psychology and ageing in australia
The study of psychology and ageing in Australia has a long history dating back to the pioneering work of Alan Welford, Elsie Harwood and George Naylor. Today, Australian psychologists are active in promoting the study of ageing both within Australia and internationally. However, despite this strong research record and the changes in the age-structure of the Australian population, the number of psychologists working with older people is relatively…
