The importance of external social support for workplace-related stress as we grow older
CONCLUSIONS: Following our hypothesised relationships based on conservation of resources (COR), selection, optimisation with compensation (SOC) and socio-emotional selectivity theories (SST), this paper demonstrates that older employees benefit significantly from external social support. As external social support increased among older employees, the negative effect of WFC on stress decreased. However, this effect was only significant for employees up to the 68th percentile. Overall, this effect was less powerful for both groups of younger employees. Consistent with SOC and SST, older employees possessed different social m...

The experience of entering residential aged care: The views of residents, family members and staff-an Appreciative Inquiry
CONCLUSIONS: Improved communication strategies and resources are needed to support the resident's identity, build trust in the organisation and support transition to residential aged care. Staff should continue to value the contribution family members play in the life of the resident and the culture of the aged care community.PMID:37828653 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13236 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Transforming aged care with virtual reality: How organisational culture impacts technology adoption and sustained uptake
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate benefits and challenges of VR use in aged care, offering valuable insights into the factors that can lead to the long-term success of VR-based leisure activities for aged care. Providing time and resources for a VR champion to experiment and learn about the technology is critical. The development of an online implementation toolkit, based on our learning from this project, also provides aged care stakeholders with the evidence-based resources needed to ensure the successful implementation of VR-based leisure programs.PMID:37803886 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13248 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Emergency presentations for older persons with low back pain: An increasing clinical and economic challenge
CONCLUSIONS: Older persons are over-represented amongst gradually increasing rates of LBP presentations to EDs and associated with escalating cost of care and hospital resource use. Older patients present a different clinical and economic profile to younger patients, supporting the provision of individualised management recommendations.PMID:37799007 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13240 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)
