Mar 18th 2024, 15:42

Service providers have a unique understanding of older homeless adults’ challenges and service needs. However, research on the experiences of health care providers (HCPs) who work with this population is limited. We aimed to gain a better understanding of the experiences (roles, challenges, and rewards) of HCPs who work with older homeless adults (age 50 and over) in outreach settings. We conducted individual semi-structured interviews with 10 HCPs who worked in these roles. Four themes emerged: (a) the client–provider relationship as an essential building block to HCPs’ work; (b) progression of care that acknowledges the “whole person”; (c) collaboration as integral to providers’ work; and (d) the importance of system navigation. Providers found their work personally and professionally fulfilling but were frustrated by system-level challenges. Findings can be used to identify strategies on how to further support providers in their roles and enhance service provision for older homeless individuals.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/the-experience-of-dependence-on-homecare-among-people-ageing-at-home/) The experience of dependence on homecare among people ageing at home
Mar 18th 2024, 15:41

Being dependent on homecare potentially threatens a person’s integrity and autonomy, particularly when people are dependent on help to manage basic bodily functions that involve intimacy and nudity, making the person vulnerable despite being in his or her own home. As the population continues to age and live longer, more people are expected to be dependent on homecare. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenomenon of dependence on homecare among people ageing at home. Individual in-depth interviews were used to explore 15 Danish and Norwegian homecare receivers’ experiences of dependence on homecare. Interview records were transcribed and analysed in a hermeneutical phenomenological process described by van Manen. First and foremost, the experience of dependence on homecare is a question of adaption. The older people in this study struggled to get used to their deteriorating body and at the same time they continuously had to negotiate to get care in accordance with their values. Being dependent on care could be experienced as being reduced to a task or a problem to be solved though the participants had a significant need for undivided mental attention. The presence of homecare staff in the participants’ homes could entail a change where the participants experienced that they lost control over the surroundings. According to the voices of the older people in this study, future homecare should be accommodated in an organisational set-up that gives priority to stability and continuity in the relation between the homecare receiver and the homecare staff. Also it is significant that homecare staff do not have a task-oriented approach to their job and are sensitive to the values of the homecare receivers.

Mar 18th 2024, 15:40

Anecdotal evidence suggests that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute substantially to mortality, morbidity and disability in Ghana. Nonetheless, no data are presently available on Ghanaians with disability from major NCDs, such as hypertension, diabetes and stroke. Using data from the 2007/2008 Ghana World Health Organization Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) and applying ordinary least squares techniques, the prevalence of and associations between activity limitations and participation restrictions in Ghanaians with NCDs are examined in the present study. The results show stroke is the major contributor to activity limitations and participation restrictions among the Ghanaian population with NCDs. The study results further revealed that respondents with higher education reported high levels of disability compared to those with no education. The results suggest that functioning can be restored by providing assistive technologies, such as wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, walking aids, etc., that can enhance participation of persons with disability in society.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/ort0000695/) A mixed-methods study of parents’ social connectedness in a group-based parenting program in low-income communities.
Mar 18th 2024, 12:36

American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, Vol 94(1), 2024, 1-14; doi:10.1037/ort0000695
Group-based parent training (PT) is an evidence-based approach for strengthening parenting skills and reducing child behavior problems. However, there has been little research on the social connectedness (SC) formed among PT participants, particularly in low-income communities where parents may be more socially isolated. This study describes SC formed among parents in a group-based PT program implemented in their children’s school and its association with changes in child behavior. Using a convergent mixed-methods design, data collection occurred between 2020 and 2022. Parents (n = 97) completed measures of their SC to other parents in their PT group and their child’s behavior. Qualitative interviews with a representative subsample of parents (n = 17) were also conducted to understand parents’ perceptions and experiences of SC within their PT group. Parents reported high levels of SC (M = 4.45 [range = 3.04–5 on scale of 1–5]; SD = 0.4). From baseline to postintervention, the number of children with child behavior problems significantly decreased (32.12%, 37.5% behavior intensity and problems, respectively). The magnitude of decline in child behavior problems was significantly related to parents’ SC (b = −11.52, p = .02, SE = 4.99). Qualitative data confirmed high levels of SC, which parents linked to improvements in their parenting and children’s behavior. Themes focused on the building of connections, committing to a safe space with parents who share similar goals, supporting one another, and gaining connections within the school environment and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results highlight the potential synergistic effects of SC formed in the context of group-based PT with implications for strengthening parenting skills and children’s well-being.

Asian American Journal of Psychology, Vol 15(1), Mar 2024, 31-41; doi:10.1037/aap0000321
This study examined how Asian American parents’ experiences of racial discrimination and internalized racism were associated with domains of racial–ethnic socialization (RES). The study sample consisted of 121 Asian American parents (M = 41.79 years, range = 26–65 years). Using structural equation modeling, a path analysis was conducted to examine whether internalized racism moderated the link between experiences of racial discrimination and RES strategies. Results suggested that racial discrimination was negatively associated with internalized racism (β = −.22, p p p p p p p

Mar 18th 2024, 10:36

Asian American Journal of Psychology, Vol 15(1), Mar 2024, 21-30; doi:10.1037/aap0000313
The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of context on the self-construal of Asian Americans and White Americans. Cross-cultural research has demonstrated differences in the self, including the independent self and interdependent self. However, less research has examined differences in the self within a culture and how differences may be related to situational factors. In the present study, we examined how Who Am I? (WAI) self-descriptions of 109 White Americans (28 men and 81 women) and 99 Asian Americans (36 men and 63 women) might vary depending on the ethnic composition in which they were situated (i.e., being in a minority vs. mixed vs. majority setting). Findings provided partial support for the three main hypotheses, with self-descriptions varying by ethnicity for WAI abstract, autonomous, and positive descriptions and by ethnic composition for WAI positive and novel descriptions, though no interaction between ethnicity and ethnic composition on our dependent variables emerged. Specifically, White Americans reported more WAI autonomous and abstract responses than did Asian Americans across contexts. However, with WAI positive and novel responses, ethnic composition mattered. White Americans and Asian Americans reported more WAI positive responses in the mixed and majority compositions compared to the minority composition. White American and Asian American participants provided more WAI novel responses in the ethnic minority and mixed compositions than in the ethnic majority composition.

Mar 18th 2024, 09:48

Pregnant and parenting people with substance use disorders are a highly stigmatized group. Structural and interpersonal bias contribute to reluctance to engage in prenatal, postpartum, and well-child care for this population. Two studies described in this issue of the Journal of Addiction Medicine explore the implications of health care provider–family relationships on experience of care for birthing people with substance use disorders and their infants. Patient voices describe how intensive monitoring of infants for sequelae of substance exposure and that being scrutinized as caregivers undermined their confidence as parents, contributed to self-blame, and damaged their trust in health care teams. Data from these studies suggest that the voices of pregnant and parenting individuals need to be present at local, regional, and national levels to mitigate harm when redesigning programs for this population.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/challenges_in_applying_minimal_clinically-3-aspx/) Challenges in applying minimal clinically important difference: a critical review
Mar 18th 2024, 08:47

Healthcare clinicians strive to make meaningful changes in patient function and participation. A minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is an estimate of the magnitude of change needed to be meaningful to a patient. Clinicians and investigators may assume that a cited MCID is a valid and generalizable estimate of effect. There are, however, at least two concerns about this assumption. First, multiple methods exist for calculating an MCID that can yield divergent values and raise doubt as to which one to apply. Second, MCID values may be erroneously generalized to patients with dissimilar health conditions. With this in mind, we reviewed the methods used to calculate MCID and citations of reported MCID values for outcome measures commonly used in neurologic, orthopedic, and geriatric populations. Our goal was to assess whether the calculation methods were acknowledged in the cited work and whether the enrolled patients were similar to the sample from which the MCID estimate was derived. We found a concerning variation in the methods employed to estimate MCID. We also found a lack of transparency in identifying calculation methods and applicable health conditions in the cited work. Thus, clinicians and researchers must pay close attention and exercise caution in assuming changes in patient status that exceed a specific MCID reflect meaningful improvements in health status. A common standard for the calculation and reporting of an MCID is needed to address threats to the validity of conclusions drawn from the interpretation of an MCID.

Mar 18th 2024, 07:47

Abstract
Haitian immigrant women living in the U.S. have a higher rate of cervical cancer mortality than any other ethnic group, primarily due to lower rates of screening test utilization. Therefore, it is important to understand the issues affecting their pap smear screening behaviors. We conducted a narrative review of articles from PubMed, SCOPUS, Embase, CINAHL/Nursing, and Psych Info. Inclusion criteria: U.S. Haitian immigrant, screening, cervical cancer, health beliefs/perceptions. Exclusion criteria: HPV-vaccine. Primary barriers: (1) lack of knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV, and pap smears; (2) lack of culturally appropriate dissemination of information; and (3) difficulty obtaining the test. Primary facilitators: (1) provider recommendations, (2) Haitian media to disseminate health information, and (3) having health insurance. This review highlights the points for intervention by health professionals and policy makers to address this group’s low pap smear utilization.
