Nov 7th 2023, 12:43

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. ObjectivesTo investigate the availability of Alzheimer’s Centers (ACs) in US hospitals.MethodsUtilizing the American Hospital Association Annual Survey, Area Health Resource File, and US Census (n = 3251), we employed multivariable logistic regression to examine hospital, county, and regional predictors of AC availability.ResultsLarge hospitals (>399 beds) had approximately 14 times higher odds of having an AC than small hospitals (<50 beds; OR = 14.0; 95% CI = 6.44 – 30.46). Counties with a higher proportion of Latino residents, relative to non-Latino Whites, had lower odds of having an AC (OR = .05; 95% CI = .01 – .41). Northeastern (OR = 1.92; 95% CI = 1.15 – 3.22) and Midwestern (OR = 2.12; 95% CI = 1.34 – 3.37) hospitals had higher odds of having an AC than Southern hospitals.DiscussionTo address dementia needs and disparities, investment in a national infrastructure is critical.

Nov 7th 2023, 12:06

Abstract
Times of disaster disproportionately impact women, children, and vulnerable populations. Thus, concern about women’s welfare became paramount as the intensity of the COVID-19 global pandemic increased. Due to these concerns and the need to examine them from a scientific perspective, we announced a call for empirical and theoretical investigations into how women around the world were experiencing this time of disaster. We were especially interested in investigations that provided information that afforded intersectionality analyses; that is, those that recognized overlapping socially-constructed systems of oppression such as patriarchy, white supremacy, and classism and how they impact the structures, institutions, agencies, and policies that change women’s lives. We received an overwhelming response to our call from scholars around the world whose empirical and theoretical works focused on women’s lives during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a two-installment Special Issue on how the COVID-19 pandemic magnified existing gender inequities. This installment aims to understand how the global pandemic has impacted women’s work, children, and families around the world. Throughout both installments, scholars emphasize how empirical findings can and should drive social policies that ameliorate inequities and support women and their families.

Nov 7th 2023, 11:19

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®, Ahead of Print. BackgroundPain is often underreported and under-treated in older adults with dementia. The role of family caregivers (FCGs) in managing pain for their loved ones with dementia living in community has been significantly burdensome. Surprisingly, research has not delved into the experiences of FCGs’ concerning pain management in this context.MethodsA qualitative descriptive study was conducted to gain a deep understanding of FCGs’ experiences in managing pain for their loved ones. Family caregivers participated in semi-structured face-to-face or telephone interviews. Inclusion criterion included being an adult providing care to community-dwelling older adults with dementia. Recruitment stopped upon reaching thematic saturation. Basic demographic characteristics was also collected. Constant comparison analytic method was employed.ResultsThe study included 25 FCGs in central Virginia, spanning ages from 29 to 95. Participants were predominantly white, female, married, and had a minimum high school education. Most of them were adult children (52%) or the spouses (28%) of the care recipients. Four thematic categories emerged around exploring FCGs’ pain management experiences: (1) Values; (2) Barriers; (3) Support; and (4) Adaptation. Each theme included sub-themes.ConclusionFamily caregivers follow their values to make decisions in pain management. Barriers existed for effective pain management. Adaptation and support from professional or formal caregivers greatly improved FCGs’ perception of their competence in pain management. The finding underscores the need for further research and the development of interventions aimed at enhancing FCGs’ perception of self-efficacy in this crucial aspect of caregiving.

Nov 7th 2023, 11:06

Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to explore the parenting beliefs of large ultra-orthodox families living in Israel within the context of religion, culture, and large family size.
Background
The ultra-orthodox community in Israel represents a growing and insular population. Little research has been done exploring the nature of parenting beliefs in this community. In particular, the opinions of children on this topic have been neglected in the literature.
Method
A qualitative design using semistructured interviews was used as the primary research instrument. The study sample consisted of 25 individuals from five ultra-orthodox families. All members of the family above age 10 were interviewed.
Results
Parents focused on the individuality of their children and made efforts to provide individualized attention to them. These intentions existed alongside a strong emphasis from both parents and children on hierarchy and respect for elders. These beliefs were identified as “Torah values” and were understood to originate within a religious framework with divine origin.
Conclusion
Clinical and research implications of the findings are discussed. Participants supported a framework that emphasized the Euro-American parenting values of individuality and support but did not include democratic elements of child–parent interaction. Instead, hierarchical beliefs that reinforced family hierarchy and obedience from children predominated.
Implications
In ultra-orthodox households in Israel, firm boundaries and strict hierarchy should not be associated with low levels of warmth and attunement. A lack of tolerance for difference is not necessarily an indication of an absence of appreciation of individuality.

Despite previously promising to reform the outdated Mental Health Act, there was no commitment from the UK Government in the King’s Speech today (7 November) to introducing a Mental Health Bill for England and Wales before the next General Election. The decision to abandon much-needed reform has been met with widespread disapproval and opposition across the mental health sector.

Nov 7th 2023, 10:37

Abstract
Measures of affective polarization—that is, dislike and hostility across party lines—have been developed and validated in the context of America’s two-party system. Yet increasingly, affective polarization is examined comparatively. We address this issue by introducing a novel dataset that measures aspects of partisan affect in 10 countries with diverse party systems. We detect associations between partisan affect toward out-parties versus affect toward out-parties’ supporters, but their strength varies across countries. We discuss measurement reasons for this variation and consider the implications of our findings for the emerging comparative affective polarization literature.

Nov 7th 2023, 10:26

Volunteering is a popular activity among middle-aged and older adults as means to contribute to the society and to maintain personal health and wellbeing. While the benefits of volunteering have been well-documented in the current literature, it does not tend to distinguish between various types of volunteering activities. This cross-sectional study aims to compare the effects of instrumental (e.g. food preparation, fundraising) and cognitively demanding volunteering activities (e.g. befriending, mentoring) in a sample of 487 middle-aged and older Hong Kong Chinese adults. Participation in instrumental and cognitively demanding volunteering, life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, cognitive functioning and hand-grip strength were measured. The results of two-way between-subject robust analyses of variance demonstrated significant main effects of volunteering type and their interaction effect with age on life satisfaction and depressive symptoms. Comparisons among four volunteering groups (no volunteering, instrumental volunteering, cognitively demanding volunteering and both types) revealed that individuals engaging in instrumental volunteering exhibited lower life satisfaction and more depressive symptoms compared to those who engaged in cognitively demanding volunteering and those who did not volunteer at all. This detrimental pattern of instrumental volunteering was only seen in middle-aged adults, but not in older adults. Findings of this study revealed distinctive effects of two volunteering types, and provide valuable directions for designing future volunteering programmes.

Nov 7th 2023, 10:23

ABSTRACT∞
This article examines the tangible consequences of ongoing armed violence for the implementation of Colombia’s innovative transitional court, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz, JEP). Establishing transitional justice mechanisms in contexts of persistent armed violence poses significant challenges and the implementation process is likely to seem flawed or lacking to those actors involved. These complex scenarios raise critical questions for the field of transitional justice, notably regarding the expectations of victims and the feasibility of providing truth, justice and reparation in hostile settings. Based on the case of the Colombia’s northwestern Urabá region, this article argues that contexts of ongoing violence have a direct adverse effect on the possibility of the meaningful and effective participation of victims, perpetrators and other key actors in transitional justice processes. Consequently, this restricted participation initiates a ‘domino effect,’ which negatively impacts other transitional goals, including, in the specific case of the JEP, its restorative aims.

Nov 7th 2023, 10:07

Because of the exacerbation of population ageing, more family members are involved in the informal care-giving for older adults with disabilities to cater to their long-term care needs. As informal care-givers are associated with the mental health of the care recipient, this study, based on the theoretical framework of the Actor–Partner Effect, utilises a mixed method composed of quantitative and qualitative strategies to identify the relationship among gender and type of both care-giver and care recipient, and mental health of the recipient and explain its internal mechanism. In the quantitative research, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression results based on the basis of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) data corroborate the existence of actor and partner effects within the care-giving dyad. The qualitative analysis further explains the socially constructed differences in gender role, trust relationship and perception towards filial piety of adult care-givers playing their role in the emergence of the Actor–Partner Effect. Finally, this study proposes a developed Actor–Partner Effect analysis framework, advocating to destigmatise disability and construct social support networks for the older adults with disabilities who receive informal care to promote their mental health based on the reflection of socially constructed gender difference.

Urban Affairs Review, (https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/uarb/59/6) Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1747-1774, November 2023. Creative placemaking has become a popular strategy to revitalize distressed neighborhoods. Who is empowered to participate in these projects and in what capacity? Do such efforts reduce or reinforce existing race-class inequities in community development? Drawing on three years of participant observations, interviews with stakeholders, and analyses of project reports, we use Archon Fung’s “Democracy Cube” framework to evaluate a creative placemaking initiative in one of the most segregated cities in the United States. We find that over the course of the project, participation patterns shifted from highly diffuse across many individuals with varied roles to highly concentrated, such that only a few individuals maintained knowledge of ongoing developments in the project. We argue that this shift was not inevitable and discuss strategies that funders and organizations can use to increase equity in placemaking and community development endeavors.

Nov 7th 2023, 08:07

This article analyses and compares disability policies for working-age individuals in Canada with a focus on the mode of policy provision and type of measure to determine the degree to which direct funding is used in this country. To consider policy diversity in this federal system, policies are compared using a mixed-methods approach. Using quantitative methods, federal, provincial and territorial policies are first compared using hierarchical cluster analysis. This provides evidence of three distinct clusters in Canada according to policy provision and measure type. In a second, qualitative analysis, the disability strategies of four provinces’ (British Columbia, Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec) are compared, to determine over arching policy orientations. Findings indicate that policy provision in Canada largely favours money over services. Furthermore, most provinces emphasize either health or integration measures over substantive measures. Despite these commonalities, significant variation persists across Canada. This extends to poverty and disability reduction strategies with two of the four provinces having a broader orientation while the other two provinces focus specifically on employment as a means of social inclusion. The article concludes with a discussion on the state of employment policies for individuals with a disability in Canada.

Nov 7th 2023, 07:07

Background
Previous study has shown that a brief cognitive-behavioral prevention insomnia program could reduce 71% risk of developing insomnia among at-risk adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate the differential response to insomnia prevention in subgroups of at-risk adolescents.
Methods
Adolescents with a family history of insomnia and subthreshold insomnia symptoms were randomly assigned to a 4-week insomnia prevention program or nonactive control group. Assessments were conducted at baseline, 1 week, and 6- and 12-month after the intervention. Baseline sleep, daytime, and mood profiles were used to determine different subgroups by using latent class analysis (LCA). Analyses were conducted based on the intention-to-treat approach.
Results
LCA identified three subgroups: (a) insomnia symptoms only, (b) insomnia symptoms with daytime sleepiness and mild anxiety, and (c) insomnia symptoms with daytime sleepiness, mild anxiety, and depression. The incidence rate of insomnia disorder over the 12-month follow-up was significantly reduced for adolescents receiving intervention in subgroup 3 compared with the controls (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13–0.99; p = .049) and marginally for subgroup 2 (HR = 0.14; 95% CI: 0.02–1.08; p = .059). In addition, adolescents who received intervention in subgroups 2 and 3 had a reduced risk of excessive daytime sleepiness (subgroup 2: adjusted OR [AdjOR] = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.23–0.87; subgroup 3: AdjOR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13–0.76) and possible anxiety (subgroup 2: AdjOR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.27–0.82; subgroup 3: AdjOR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.14–0.78) compared with the controls over the 12-month follow-up.
Conclusions
Adolescents at risk for insomnia can be classified into different subgroups according to their psychological profiles, which were associated with differential responses to the insomnia prevention program. These findings indicate the need for further phenotyping and subgrouping at-risk adolescents to develop personalized insomnia prevention.

Nov 7th 2023, 05:36

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. ObjectivesTo examine the influence of sociodemographic factors on employment changes among adult children following onset of parental Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD).MethodsWe used Health and Retirement Study (2010–2018; N = 20,110) data to examine adult child (ages 50–70) changes in employment and work hours at onset of parental ADRD and potential variation by gender, age, race, ethnicity, and education.ResultsParental ADRD onset was not associated with changes in adult child employment overall, although associations differed substantially across subpopulations defined by education level. Sons with the lowest education were least likely to cease employment, while daughters with the lowest education were most likely to reduce work hours. Sons at older ages were increasingly likely to reduce work hours or end employment following parental ADRD onset.DiscussionThe potential impact of parental ADRD on adult child employment is complex and should be considered in the context of sociodemographic factors.

Nov 7th 2023, 05:07

Families in Society, Ahead of Print. This study investigated the patterns of substance use initiation and transition across tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs over time using retrospective longitudinal data. Based on national data of 18,861 adolescents aged 14 to 17 years who had engaged in substance use, the findings revealed that nearly 50% of these adolescents initiated substance use with alcohol, 18% with tobacco, and 33% with illicit drugs. By the end of the second year, the probability of these adolescents trying a new substance class was 40% to 50%, rising to 80% to 90% by the eighth year. Adolescents who initiated with tobacco or illicit drugs exhibited a higher risk of transition. The study indicates the significant role of all substance classes in initiating adolescent substance use and highlights the rapidity of transitioning to new substance classes, underscoring the importance of proactive prevention and intervention strategies.

Nov 7th 2023, 05:07

Abstract
The stressful nature of parenting infants exacerbates the characteristics of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Consequently, mothers with BPD tend to be emotionally dysregulated, respond impulsively to their infants, and have poorer mother–infant relationships. Few parenting interventions target the specific skill deficits observed in mothers with BPD. This study explored the differences in parental reflective functioning (PRF) and mother–infant relationship quality at baseline and following a 24-week, group parenting intervention for mothers with BPD. PRF and mother-infant relationship quality were assessed from quantitative (N = 23) and qualitative (N = 32) perspectives. Quantitative data (Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire) showed a significant improvement in one of the three subscales, Interest and Curiosity, between baseline and post-intervention, and a significant moderate positive association between the subscale Certainty of Mental States and maternal-infant interaction quality post-intervention. Improvements in mother-infant relationship quality were not evident from the observational measure, Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Teaching scale. In contrast, semi-structured interview qualitative data found maternal improvements in parental reflection, coping strategies implemented post-intervention, and quality of mother–infant relationships. Overwhelmingly positive intervention feedback suggested perceived maternal benefits of group format and skills taught. Future studies with larger sample sizes would allow further clarification of such parenting interventions for mothers with BPD.
Resumen
La naturaleza estresante de criar infantes agudiza las características del Trastorno Límite de la Personalidad (BPD). Por tanto, madres con BPD tienden a estar emocionalmente no reguladas, responder impulsivamente a sus infantes y tener relaciones madre-infante de menor calidad. Pocas intervenciones de crianza se centran en los específicos déficits de habilidades observados en madres con BPD. El presente estudio exploró diferencias en el funcionamiento con reflexión del progenitor y la calidad de la relación madre-infante al punto inicial y al del seguimiento a 24 semanas de la intervención de crianza en grupo para madres con BPD. Se evaluó el funcionamiento con reflexión del progenitor y la relación madre-infante desde la perspectiva cuantitativa (N=23) y cualitativa (N=32). Datos cuantitativos (Cuestionario del Funcionamiento con Reflexión del Progenitor) mostraron un significativo adelanto en una de tres subescalas, Interés y Curiosidad, entre el punto inicial y posterior a la intervención, y una significativa moderada asociación positiva entre la subescala Certeza de Estados Mentales y la calidad de la interacción materno-infantil al momento posterior a la intervención. Las mejoras en la calidad de la relación madre-infante no fueron evidentes con la medida de observación, la escala de la Enseñanza Satélite de Evaluación del Niño Lactante. En contraste, datos cualitativos de entrevista semiestructurada encontraron mejoras maternas en la reflexión del progenitor, estrategias de cómo arreglárselas puestas en práctica después de la intervención, y en la calidad de las relaciones madre-infante. La abrumadoramente positiva información sobre la intervención sugirió que había una percepción materna de beneficios del formato de grupo y las habilidades que se enseñaban. Estudios futuros con grupos mayores permitirán clarificaciones adicionales de tales intervenciones de crianza para madres con BPD.
Résumé
La nature stressante du parentage des nourrissons exacerbe les caractéristiques du Trouble de la Personnalité Limite (TPL). Par conséquent les mères avec un TPL ont tendance à être émotionnellement dérégulées, réagissant de manière impulsive à leurs bébés et ont des relations mère-bébé moins bonnes. Peu d’interventions de parentage visent les déficits de compétence spécifiques qui sont observés chez les mères avec un TPL. Cette étude a exploré les différences qu’on trouve dans le fonctionnement de réflexion parental et la qualité de la relation mère-bébé au départ et après une intervention de groupe de parentage pour des mères avec un TPL, de 24 semaines. Le fonctionnement parental de réflexion et la qualité de la relation mère-bébé ont été évalués à partir de perspectives quantitatives (N=23) et qualitatives (N=32). Les données quantitatives (Questionnaire de Fonctionnement de Réflexion parental ont montré une amélioration importante dans l’une des trois sous-échelles, Intérêt et Curiosité, entre le départ de l’intervention et la post-intervention, ainsi qu’un lien positive modéré important entre la sous-échelles Certitude des Etats Mentaux et la qualité de l’interaction maternelle-bébé après l’intervention. On n’a pas trouvé d’améliorations de la qualité de la relation mère-bébé à partir de la mesure d’observation échelle d’Formation Satellite de l’Evaluation du Nourrisson. Par contre les données qualitatives de l’entretien semi-structuré a révélé des améliorations maternelles dans la réflexion parentale, dans des stratégies d’adaptation mises en place après l’intervention et dans la qualité des relations mère-bébé. Les retours de l’intervention extrêmement positifs ont suggéré que des bénéfices maternels perçus du format de groupe et des compétences enseignées. Des études avec des échantillons plus grands permettraient une clarification plus poussée sur de telles interventions avec des mères avec un TPL.
Zusammenfassung
Der Stress, den die Erziehung von Kleinkindern mit sich bringt, kann Merkmale der Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung (BPS) verschlimmern. Folglich neigen Mütter mit BPS zu emotionaler Dysregulation und sie reagieren häufiger impulsiv auf ihre Kinder, was zu einer schlechteren Mutter-Kind-Beziehung führen kann. Es gibt nur wenige Elterninterventionen, die auf die bei Müttern mit BPS beobachteten, spezifischen Kompetenzdefizite abzielen. Die vorliegende Studie untersuchte Unterschiede im elterlichen „Reflektive Functioning“ und der Qualität der Mutter-Kind-Beziehung zu Beginn und nach einer 24-wöchigen Gruppen-Elternintervention für Mütter mit BPS. Das elterliche „Reflective Functioning“ und die Qualität der Mutter-Kind-Beziehung wurden aus quantitativer (N=23) und qualitativer (N=32) Perspektive beurteilt. Die quantitativen Daten (Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire) zeigten zwischen dem Baseline-Wert und dem Post-Interventionswert eine signifikante Verbesserung in einer der drei Subskalen (Interesse und Neugier) sowie einen signifikanten, moderat positiven Zusammenhang zwischen der Subskala Gewissheit über mentale Zustände und der Qualität der Mutter-Kind-Interaktion nach der Intervention. Verbesserungen in der Beziehungsqualität zwischen Mutter und Kind wurden durch das verwendete Beobachtungsmaß (die Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Teaching Scale) nicht deutlich. Im Gegensatz dazu ergaben die qualitativen Daten der halbstrukturierten Interviews Verbesserungen des „Reflective Functionung“ bei der Mutter sowie bei den nach der Intervention implementierten Bewältigungsstrategien und der Qualität der Mutter-Kind-Beziehung. Das überwiegend positive Feedback zur Intervention deutet darauf hin, dass die Mütter das Gruppenformat und die vermittelten Fähigkeiten als hilfreich empfanden. Zukünftige Studien mit größeren Stichproben würden ein noch besseres Verständnis solcher Elterninterventionen für Mütter mit BPS ermöglichen.
抄録
R治療後の境界性パーソナリティ障害の母親の省察機能と母子関係 乳児を育てる際のストレスは、境界性パーソナリティ障害(BPD)の特徴を悪化させる。その結果、BPDの母親は情動調節がうまくいかず、乳児に衝動的に反応し、母子関係が悪くなる傾向がある。BPDの母親に観察される特定のスキルの欠損を対象とした育児介入はほとんどない。本研究では、BPDの母親を対象とした24週間の集団育児介入後とベースラインにおける親の省察機能と母子関係の質の違いを検討した。親の省察機能と母子関係の質は、量的(N=23)と質的(N=32)の観点から評価した。量的データ(親の省察機能質問紙Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire)では、3つの下位尺度のうち1つである「関心と好奇心」がベースラインと介入後の間で有意に改善し、下位尺度である「心理状態の確信度」と介入後の母子相互作用の質との間に有意な中等度の正の関連が認められた。観察尺度であるNursing Child Assessment Satellite Teaching尺度からは、母子関係の質の改善は明らかではなかった。対照的に、半構造化面接による質的データでは、親の省察、介入後に実施された対処方略、母子関係の質において、母親の改善が認められた。圧倒的に肯定的な介入のフィードバックは、グループの形式と学んだスキルが母親にとって有益であることを示唆していた。サンプルサイズがより大きい今後の研究によって、BPDの母親に対するこのような育児介入についてさらに明らかにできるであろう。 子育て、境界性パーソナリティ障害、母親の省察機能、母子(乳児)関係、母−乳児集団弁証法的
摘要
养育婴儿带来的压力加剧了“边缘型人格障碍”(BPD)的特征。因此, 患有BPD的母亲往往情绪失调, 对婴儿做出冲动的回应, 并且母婴关系较差。很少有育儿干预措施关注患有BPD母亲中观察到的特定技能缺陷。本研究探讨了患有BPD母亲在干预前和进行为期24周的小组育儿干预后的父母反思功能和母婴关系质量的差异。从定量 (N=23) 和定性 (N=32) 的角度评估父母反思功能和母婴关系质量。定量数据(“父母反思功能问卷”)显示, 在干预过程中, 三个子量表中的一个, 即“兴趣和好奇心”, 有显著改善;而在干预后, “心理状态确定性”子量表与母婴互动质量之间存在显著的中度正相关。通过观察性测量(儿童教养评估量表)并未发现母婴关系质量的改善。相反, 半结构化访谈的定性数据发现母亲在父母反思、干预后采取的应对策略以及母婴关系的质量方面有所改善。绝大多数积极的干预反馈表明, 小组形式和所教授的技能对母亲有好处。未来样本规模更大的研究将进一步阐明针对患有BPD母亲的此类育儿干预措施的效果。

The report came to a devastating conclusion – and one that likely resonates with voters in the middle of a cost of living crisis: “The public is experiencing first-hand the consequences of successive governments’ short-term policy making, with decades of under-investment in capital having a serious impact on the productivity of public services. Teachers, nurses, doctors and social workers work in crumbling and cramped buildings and many services are experiencing a full-blown workforce crisis.” Above: David Cameron and George Osborne were the architects of austerity.
