Prescriber Acceptability of a Direct-to-Patient Intervention for Benzodiazepine Receptor Agonist Deprescribing and Behavioural Management of Insomnia in Older Adults
Can J Aging. 2024 Mar 8:1-9. doi: 10.1017/S0714980824000114. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBehavioural treatments are recommended first-line for insomnia, but long-term benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA) use remains common and engaging patients in a deprescribing consultation is challenging. Few deprescribing interventions directly target patients. Prescribers' support of patient-targeted interventions may facilitate their uptake. Recently assessed in the Your Answers When Needing Sleep in New Brunswick (YAWNS NB) study, Sleepwell (mysleepwell.ca) was developed as a direct-to-patient behaviour change intervention promo...

Retrospective Analysis of Circumstances of Falls and Related Injuries across Levels of Care in Older Adult Retirement Home Facilities
Can J Aging. 2024 Feb 29:1-7. doi: 10.1017/S0714980824000047. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTowards developing more effective interventions for fall-related injuries, this study analysed a novel database from six retirement home facilities over a 4-year period comprising 1,877 fallers and 12,445 falls. Falls were characterized based on location, activity, injury site, and type, and the database was stratified across four levels of care: Independent Living, Retirement Care, Assisted Care, and Memory care. Falls most occurred within the bedroom (62.8%), and during unknown (38.1%), walking (20.2%), and transfer tasks (14.6%)....
