Abstract:

Abstract Social work approaches to the assessment of decision-making capacity (DMC) assessment have largely been informed by literature from 25 years ago. Evidence-based practices include the ACED short version and the IDA-CA 3.0. When considering this specific practice by social workers there is the UK policy supporting competent practice through legislation, the Mental Capacity Act (2017) of England and Wales. Nine practitioners practicing through guidance presented by this policy were interviewed to learn what may support practices in the United States. Findings point to the importance of f

Sixteen professionals who work as elder abuse responders in British Columba participated in this study through interviews and a focus group. Fifteen of the study participants were social workers.

Abstract:

Social work has made a significant contribution to the health care of older people for the last 60 years. At any one time, older people make up a significant number of our inpatient population in public hospitals. Social workers have not only had an integral part to play in discharge planning of this vulnerable population but also have played an important advocacy and support role with the patient and their families. Indeed, social work is traditionally the discipline that links the medical world to the patient’s world in the community. Recent data indicates the average length of stay (ALOS) i

Abstract Community-dwelling older adults often experience cognitive symptoms, and three common conditions that contribute to changes in cognition are dementia, depression and delirium.

From the perspective of older adults with cognitive vulnerability and their families, hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) visits are disorienting

Abstract The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) provides unprecedented opportunities for understanding how work, family, and socioeconomic characteristics over a 40-year period shape the well-being of older adults. The large sample enables explorations of race, gender, and socioeconomic differences in these processes. The five papers in this symposium exploit the rich life course data of NLSY79 to understand two key outcomes: health, and work/economic arrangements as adults approach their retirement years.

Abstract:

Abstract Hearing loss is a leading source of disability among older adults; over 65% of those aged 71 and older have hearing loss. Hearing loss may be associated with reduced relationship quality due to greater communication challenges, conflict, and avoidance of social interactions. This study examined links between hearing loss and social ties among older people. Participants included 11,161 respondents from the 2016 and 2018 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (ages 50+) who completed a hearing test and reported on their social ties (contact, quality), social activities (e.g., charity

Abstract:

Abstract Care transitions, such as transitions from hospital to home or home health care, are particularly challenging periods for many older adults with unaddressed social determinants of health (SDOH) needs. For instance, older adults might experience barriers in accessing transportation for follow-up medical appointments or acquiring prescribed medications due to financial limitations. These challenges significantly impact health outcomes, often resulting in emergency department visits and re-hospitalizations for many older adults. Addressing social determinants during care transitions is c

Abstract:

Extant research has shown that grandiose narcissism predicts a wide range of work-related outcomes. However, despite differentiating in the social-personality literature besides grandiose narcissism also its vulnerable form, there is little organizational research that would include both expressions of narcissism, in particular with regard to positive organizational behaviors, including strengths use and deficit correction in the workplace. In addition, the role of dark-side personality traits, such as narcissism, in predicting strengths use and deficit correction in the workplace, in particul

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has been linked to poor mental health outcomes and may be particularly damaging for young adults who may be more affected by governmental pandemic responses such as mandatory school and work closures, online schooling, and social isolation. Exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) has also been shown to have a significant impact on mental health among young adults. This prospective study examined whether young adults with higher ACE profiles were more vulnerable to COVID-19 stressors.

Abstract The combination of aging and losing an only adult child challenges an increasing number of older adults in China. Current literature primarily focuses on older parents’ bereavement but seldom examines how they restore their lives. Guided by the Dual Process Model, this study explores how older parents who lost their only adult child restore their lives and prepare for future care in Shanghai. Twenty-four older adults were purposively sampled and participated in face-to-face, in-depth interviews. The findings suggest that participants tried to restore their lives by rationalizing grief
