The Association of Nursing Homes' Organizational Context with Care Aide Empowerment: A cross-sectional study
In this study, modifiable elements of organizational context (i.e., culture, social capital, and time) were positively associated with care aides' psychological empowerment. Future interventions might usefully target these modifiable elements of unit level context in the interest of assessing their effects on staff work attitudes and outcomes, including the quality of resident care.PMID:38695153 | DOI:10.1093/geront/gnae033 (Source: The Gerontologist)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany factors impact how individuals and populations age, including race, ethnicity and diversity, which can contribute to increased disease risk, less access to quality health care, and increased morbidity and mortality. Systemic racism - set of institutional policies and practices within a society or organization that perpetuate racial inequalities and discrimination - contributes to health inequities of vulnerable populations, particularly older adults.

Reframing Fall Prevention and Risk Management as a Chronic Condition through the Lens of the Expanded Chronic Care Model: Will Integrating Clinical Care and Public Health Improve Outcomes?
Gerontologist. 2024 Apr 26:gnae035. doi: 10.1093/geront/gnae035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFalls are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among adults aged 65 years and older (older adults) and are increasingly recognized as a chronic condition. Yet, fall-related care is infrequently provided in a chronic care context despite fall-related death rates increasing 41% between 2012 and 2021. One of the many challenges to addressing falls is the absence of fall-focused chronic disease management programs, which improve outcomes of other chronic conditions, like diabetes. Policies, information systems, and clinical-com...

Strategies to Improve Emergency Transitions from Long-Term Care Facilities: A Scoping Review
DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Mixed or non-significant results prevent us from recommending (or discouraging) any interventions. Given the complexity of these transitions and the need to create sustainable improvement strategies, future research should describe strategies used to embed innovations in care contexts and to measure both implementation and intervention success.PMID:38661440 | DOI:10.1093/geront/gnae036 (Source: The Gerontologist)

Dementia Care in Rural Appalachia: Multilevel Analysis of Individual and County-level Factors
DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Findings suggest that informal support in caring for the person living with dementia enables HCBS use in rural Appalachia. In contrast, limited geographic accessibility and service availability can impede HCBS use in rural regions. Policymakers are urged to allocate direct public funding to service providers to expand service availability in under-resourced rural regions.PMID:38661552 | DOI:10.1093/geront/gnae037 (Source: The Gerontologist)
