Drinking and mental health in middle adulthood: exploring the impact of wellbeing, mental health literacy, and drinking motives on risk of alcohol dependence
CONCLUSION: Findings support research emphasising the influence of drinking motives on risky drinking and highlights how low wellbeing may interact with coping motives to explain risky drinking among middle-aged adults, particularly men.

Effects of reminiscence interventions on depression and anxiety: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that reminiscence interventions should be offered for all adults interested in reflecting on their past, although adaptations of intervention contents can be made according to the needs of potential participants.PMID:38407110 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2320133 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Biomedical knowledge of dementia is not enough to counteract its stigma - quantitative research among future medical and social care staff in Poland
CONCLUSIONS: If health-related programs are to be effective, they should provide opportunities for the acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills that also address the stigmatization of people living with dementia. Well-established biomedical knowledge on dementia must be supplemented with a person-centered approach and proper communication skills.PMID:38407168 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2320139 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Caregiver experience of the Norwegian manual for individual cognitive stimulation therapy (iCST): a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: When the carer understands the iCST programme as a tool and adapts it to the specific needs of the person with dementia then co-occupation and positive interactions happen. However, some carers would benefit from supervision and the iCST programme did not address all persons with dementia.PMID:38356118 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2313725 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)
