Abstract:

Abstract The diverse marital experiences of older adults today may shape their relationship with adult children. This study examined whether marital status (i.e., continuously married, remarried, divorced, widowed) and marital transitions (i.e., age at first marriage, number of marital dissolutions, time spent unmarried after first marriage) are associated with the availability, quality, and stability of older adults’ social network ties to their children. This study used retrospective marital histories and longitudinal egocentric network data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging P

Abstract:

AbstractRecently, new electronic technologies have supplemented older mechanisms of communication between members of Congress and their constituents. These technologies have enhanced members' options for communication, both with constituents and other interested parties. This research examines member use of one specific electronic communication medium: Twitter. Using original data to examine patterns of use, two models predict the probability of a member adopting Twitter based on political, personal, and district-level variables.

Abstract:

Family involvement during hospitalizations of older adults with chronic illnesses may benefit both patients and family. However, there is a limited amount of research focused on families of older adults managing chronic illness. This study describes family member perceptions of the relationship between family and nurses when an older adult with diabetes is hospitalized in a Magnet institution. The Calgary Family Intervention Model guided the study. A family member of 60 older adult patients completed the Family Function, Family Health, and Social Support Instrument.

Abstract:

Abstract The health consequences of multiple family member deaths across the life course has received less attention in the bereavement literature. Moreover, recent research shows that black Americans are more likely than white Americans to lose multiple family members. I analyze longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (1992-2014) to assess how multiple family member losses across the life course are associated with declines in health among older adults. Findings suggest that multiple family losses prior to midlife are associated with a number of indicators of poor health (e.g.,

Abstract:

This paper examines changes in households with older people in a northern rural area of KwaZulu Natal province, South Africa, between January 2000 and January 2002. The focus is the impact of adult deaths, especially those from AIDS, on the living arrangements of older people. The longitudinal data are from the Africa Centre Demographic Information System. In 2000, 3,657 older people (women aged 60 years or older, men 65 years or older) were resident in the area, and 3,124 households had at least one older member. The majority (87%) of older people lived in three-generation households. Househo

Abstract:

Background: Having a family member living in a residential home affects the entire family and can be hard to handle. Family members require encouraging and open communication support from nurses during and after relocation to a residential home. A Family Systems Nursing intervention, “Family Health Conversations” (FamHC) was conducted in order to strengthen the health of families having relatives at residential home for older people. Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the responses to the Family Health Conversations in families with a member living at a residential home for ol

Abstract:

Many older adults with complex illnesses are today cared for by their next of kin in their own homes and are often sent between different caregivers in public healthcare. Mobile Geriatric Teams (MGTs) are a healthcare initiative for older adults with extensive care needs living at home, coordinated between hospital, primary, and municipal care. The study aims to describe how next of kin experience care efforts from an MGT for their older adult family members. The study has a descriptive qualitative design and uses a phenomenographic approach. Fourteen next of kin to older adult family members

Abstract:

Palynological study of the Kamthi Formation from the Ramagundam-Mantheni area of Godavari Graben reveals that the palynoflora of Kamthi Formation is uniformly dominated by striate-disaccate (about 50%) and the subdominant groups differ. Thus Lower Member of the Kamthi Formation is characterised by the subdominance of nonstriate-disaccates while Middle Member is characterised by the subdominance of Striasulcites in the older part and Densipollenites in the younger part. The palynoflora is by and large comparable with the Raniganj palynoflora of Damodar Valley except a few differences. The palyn

Abstract Villages help older neighbors age-in-place as they manage their environments, take advantage of opportunities for social and civic engagement, and improve or maintain health and well-being. National surveys repeatedly indicate that older adults prefer community living as long as possible. But communities change, and post-retirement living may require rebuilding social connections with old and new neighbors. Fortunately, today’s retirees bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to later life which they are happy to share. Drawing on the talents and career experiences of older adults in C

Abstract Self-realization, such as perceptions of life having meaning and purpose, can potentially influence health in older adults and their family caregivers, but how dyad members may contribute to each other’s outcomes is less well understood. This analysis examined whether self-realization in older adults and their family caregivers was associated with their own, and each other’s, mental health and perceived general health. Data for adults aged 65 and older were obtained from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) (2022) linked with their respective family caregivers from the N

This study employed quantitative methodology and longitudinal data for non-financial business firms, quoted on the Amman Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2015. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE) regression.

Method: The 2014 Survey of Older Persons in Thailand (SOPT) provides data to assess patterns of caregiving, whether care needs are met, and who are main caregivers for older Thais. We examine how types of familial and nonfamilial caregivers are associated with the well-being of older persons. Results: The need for LTC increases sharply with age and is more common among women than men. Spouses and children constitute approximately 90% of main caregivers. The association of a family m

Focusing on European Union (EU) Twinning projects in Azerbaijan and Ukraine, this article explores whether EU member states from Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs) offer specific added value for the implementation of EU Twinning projects in the Eastern neighbourhood compared to the older member states. An added value refers to the combined comparative advantages of a group of member states for the implementation of a Twinning project, as perceived by project stakeholders. The findings largely confirm our hypothesis that CEECs mostly offer country-specific comparative advantages, rooted in thei

The GA tool must be easy to administer in order to minimize burden on clinic resources. The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of administering a brief, comprehensive, self-administered GA tool to older patients before their meeting with the oncologist. M
