< em > 'It's Too nice' < /em > : Adapting iSupport Lite for Ethnically Diverse Family Carers of a Person with Dementia
CONCLUSIONS: Beyond language translation, cultural adaptation using co-design provided participants the opportunity to develop more culturally relevant care resources that meet their needs. These resources will be evaluated for clinical and cost-effectiveness in future research.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: By design, multilingual resources for carers must incorporate cultural needs to communicate support messages. If this intervention is effective, it could help to reduce dementia care disparities in ethnically diverse populations in Australia and globally.PMID:37697628 | DOI:10.1080/07317115.2023.2254296 (Source: Clinical Gerontologist)

Extreme Risk Protection Orders in Older Adults in Six U.S. States: A Descriptive Study
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 14% of ERPO petitions for older adults involved cognitive impairment; one-third of these noted suicide risk. Studies examining ERPO implementation across states may inform usage and awareness.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: ERPOs may reduce firearm access among older adults with cognitive impairment, suicidality, or risk of violence.PMID:37688772 | DOI:10.1080/07317115.2023.2254279 (Source: Clinical Gerontologist)

CBT for Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Parkinson's Disease: A Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: Symptoms of anxiety in an older adult with PD decreased during a course of CBT. The implications of the treatment outcome of this study and further considerations of treatment plans for comorbid PD and anxiety have been discussed.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Using CBT could positively impact non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's, such as sleep difficulties and speech impediments. Using CBT for the catastrophic thinking and worry content in GAD seems to act as a complementary therapy for psychological/non-motor symptoms of PD.PMID:37668529 | DOI:10.1080/07317115.2023.2254311 (Source: Clinical Gerontologist)
