Objective:Reviews show that music interventions may be effective in reducing depressive symptoms among nursing home residents. Since interventions use various ways to include music, results on the effectiveness on depressive symptoms are often inconsistent. A previous review found that receptive music interventions (e.g., music listening) are more effective than active music interventions to reduce depressive symptoms among nursing home residents. Other research suggest that active music interventions (e.g., playing instruments, dancing) are more effective. Moreover, therapists seem to prefer using active music interventions. Because of its low costs, the previously found effectiveness and low side effects, it is important to gain more insight into components specific to the intervention that may contribute to its effectiveness in reducing depressive symptoms. This insight may help to fine-tune interventions and develop treatment protocols.Method:A Bayesian Network Meta-analysis was conducted to calculate the relative effectiveness of interventions including music. In addition, different network-meta-regression analyses were conducted to explorer components that may contribute to the effectiveness of the included studies.Results:Our search strategy resulted in N=22 eligible Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT), that included music in the reported interventions. Compared to Care as Usual, a multidisciplinary approach including music was the most effective (MD=-0.92, 95% CrI -2.8 to 0.97), followed by music interventions focused on sensory stimulation (MD=-0.43, 95% CrI -1.1 to 0.19), music interventions with reminiscence (MD=-0.38, 95% CrI -1.2 to 0.45) and cognitive interventions with music (MD=-0.31, 95% CrI -2.0 to 1.40). Level of depression (ƅ=-0.88, CrI 95% [-1.81 to 0.06]), and being physical dependent (ƅ=-0.29, CrI 95% [-1.20 to 0.61]), moderated the effectiveness of interventions, although this was not significant. We did not found any difference between active and receptive music interventions.Conclusion:In the constructed network, interventions that included music, were not more effective in reducing depressive symptoms among nursing home residents when compared to the care as usual group. However, some subgroups seem to benefit more from music than others. To gain more insight in the effectiveness of music in reducing depressive symptoms, more research is needed, targeting those specific target groups.

Objective:Identifying the risks of completed suicide in suicide survivors is essential for policies supporting family members of suicide victims. We aimed to determine the suicide risk of suicide survivors and identify the number of suicides per 100,000 population of suicide survivors, bereaved families of traffic accident victims, and bereaved families with non-suicide deaths.Methods:This was a nationwide population-based cohort study in South Korea. The data were taken from the Korean National Health Insurance and Korea National Statistical Office between January 2008 and December 2017. The relationship between the decedent and the bereaved family was identified using the family database of the National Health Insurance Data. Age and gender were randomly matched 1:1 among 133,386 suicide deaths and non-suicide deaths. A proportional hazard model regression analysis was conducted after confirming the cumulative hazard using Kaplan-Meier curves to obtain the hazard ratio (HR) of completed suicide in suicide survivors.Results:Using 423,331 bereaved families of suicide victims and 420,978 bereaved families of non-suicide deaths as the control group, HR of completed suicide in suicidal survivors was found to be 2.755 [95% confidence limit (CL): 2.550-2.977]. HR for wives committing suicide after husbands' suicide was 5.096 (95% CL: 3.982-6.522), which was the highest HR among all relationships with suicide decedents. The average duration from suicide death to suicide of family members was 25.4 months. Among suicide survivors, the number of suicides per 100,000 people was 586, thrice that of people in bereaved families of traffic accident victims and in bereaved families of non-suicide deaths.Conclusion:The risk of completed suicide was three times higher in suicide survivors than in bereaved families with non-suicide deaths, and it was highest in wives of suicide decedents. Thus, socio-environmental interventions for suicidal survivors must be expanded.

Background:Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common degenerative dementia in people over 65 (1,2). LBD is underdiagnosed, with only one third of patients correctly diagnosed in daily clinical practice (3); data on the distribution of the disease are scarce. Our study was designed to measure the incidence, prevalence and clinical characteristics of LBD in south-eastern Spain. Healthcare system in Spain is free and universal.Methods:Prospective epidemiological study of LBD in San Vicente del Raspeig between October 18, 2021, and October 17, 2022. The total population aged 60 or over based on the 2019 census was 11445 inhabitants (5227 males, 6218 females). Diagnosis of LBD was based on 2017 McKeith criteria. Only “probable” cases were registered for greater diagnostic certainty. Incidence was studied for the one-year period. Collected data included gender, age, cardinal symptoms for LBD, abnormal biomarkers, neuropsychiatric symptoms, medical treatment, years from diagnosis and GDS score (Reisberg) in the last visit. Protocol was approved by the ethical committee.Results:Global prevalence was 0.67% among the population over 60. Annual incidence was 3.2/1000 person-year.Mean age of prevalent cases was 78 years (SD 7.5). 68.8% were studied with at least one biomarker (mainly 123I-ioflupane and less frequent polysomnography or MIBG gammagraphy); most suffered 2 or 3 core symptoms (79.2%) (in descending order: parkinsonism, visual hallucinations, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and fluctuations). Two out of five prevalent cases were in an early phase of the disease: 22.1% in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 16.9 % in mild dementia. Mean me of disease was 1.9 years (SD 2.2). Other neuropsychiatric symptoms appeared in up to 74% of patients (apathy 18,2%, anxiety 19,5%, depression 23,4%, minor hallucinations 22%, delusions 17%, auditory and tactile hallucinations 1,2%).Conclusions:Prevalence is in line with previous reports. Higher incidence than previously reported may be due to high attention on MCI-LBD and our expertise as a referral Memory Unit. We found a wide dominance of aged women and high prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Background:Agitation and aggression (AA) occur frequently in patients with dementia (PwD), and cause distress to PwD and caregivers. This study will investigate whether physiological parameters, such as actigraphy, heart rate variability, temperature, and electrodermal activity, measured via wearable sensors, correlate with AA in PwD. It will also explore whether these parameters could be compiled to create a pre-agitation biometric marker capable of predicting episodes of AA in PwD.Methods:This study will take place at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences. Thirty inpatient participants who are inpatients, males, and females, aged 60 or older, with clinically significant AA, and diagnosis of Major Neurocognitive Disorder will be recruited. Participants will wear the device for 48 to 72 hours on three occasions during an 8-week study period. Participant demographics and clinical measures used to assess behavior will be collected at specific time intervals during the study period.Ceiling mounted cameras and clinical data are collected to annotate episodes of AA, which will allow identification of peripheral physiological markers “signature” unique to the patientResults:the algorithm connecting wearable devices, cloud and cameras was tested on healthy volunteers and demonstrated feasibility and reliability. The feasibility of implementation in PwD has been demonstrated in our sample of PwD previously in a sample of 6 participants. Feasibility in this larger sample will be assessed. Correlation analysis between physiological measures, camera capture of agitation onset and clinical measures will be calculated to identify agitation events and pre-agitation triggers. Various machine learning and features extraction/exploration techniques will be used to test whether physiological measures can detect exact time of agitation and predict pre-agitation triggers. This study will provide a reasonable estimation of sample size needed to detect a meaningful effect size, which will be determined from the prediction model.Conclusion:Early detection of AA in PwD will allow caregivers to offer timely and personalized interventions which will help avoid crises and critical incidents and improve quality of life in PwD and their caregivers.

Objective:Ageism, defined as stereotyping, prejudice, or discrimination against older people, is an emerging public health concern [1]. Ageist attitudes and behaviors in health care are found to negatively affect the physical and mental well-being of older individuals [2]. This study is the first to investigate ageism and its determinants in Lebanese healthcare settings.Methods:We diffused an online survey including the Fraboni Scale for Ageism (FSA) [3] and other variables to nurses, physicians, nursing, and medical students at an urban university hospital in Lebanon. We obtained online consent from participants prior to filling the survey. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of St. Georges Hospital University Medical Center (IRB-REC/O/066-21/3321).Results:We recruited 233 participants (47.2% medical students, 21.5% nurses, 20.6% physicians and 10.7% nursing students). Mean age was 29.2 (Standard Deviation—SD = 12) years. Almost two-thirds were female. Half the sample came from rural areas. Almost 60% currently live or have lived with an adult aged≥ 60 years. The FSA total score ranged between 33 and 87 (mean 58.9; SD 10.2). The mean/SD scores were 22.6 (4.5), 17.2 (3.2) and 19.1 (4.3) for the antilocution, discrimination and avoidance subscales of the FSA respectively. There was a positive correlation between age and FSA total score (p=0.041), in addition to discrimination and avoidance subscores (p=0.0001). Originating from rural areas was associated with significantly lower discrimination scores. Living or having lived with an older individual was associated with significantly lower overall ageism and discrimination scores. In addition, students (nursing and medical) were found to have lower ageist perceptions and attitudes compared to healthcare professionals (nurses and physicians). Table 1 shows the results of bivariate analyses performed. Regression analyses showed that only living or having lived with an older person remained significantly associated with lower ageism scores (p=0.036) after accounting for other covariables.Conclusions:Lower ageism was found among students compared to practicing nurses and physicians. Having lived with an older person was a protective factor against ageism. Specific anti-ageism interventions may need to be implemented to mitigate its impact in healthcare among students and practitioners.<jats:table-wrap position="float"><jats:label>Table 1</jats:label><jats:caption>Bivariate analyses of FSA total score and subscores on covariates of interest</jats:caption><jats:alternatives><jats:table frame="hsides"><jats:colgroup><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /><jats:col span="1" /></jats:colgroup><jats:thead><jats:tr><jats:td valign="top" /><jats:td valign="top">FSA total score mean (SD)</jats:td><jats:td valign="top">p-value</jats:td><jats:td valign="top">Antilocu

Objective:Cognitive Reserve (CR) developed from observation that several individuals show fewer cognitive impairment compared to others with the same brain injuries or neuropathology. Cognitive reserve is a potentially modifiable characteristic. Most of studies on cognitive reserve were conducted on chronic progressive diseases such as dementia. This study aims to define the role of cognitive reserve in geriatric delirium cases.Methods:This case-control study was conducted in the acute geriatric inpatient of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia on June to September 2019 that consisted of 33 subjects with delirium and 33 controls. The measurement of cognitive reserve was done using the Indonesian adaptation of Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq) with 3 subscales, i.e. Education, Work Activity and Leisure Time.Results:We found that the CRIq scores of delirium patients were lower compared to the non-delirium controls both on total and each subscores, with a statistically significant mean difference (p<0,01). Patients with low-medium cognitive reserve also more likely to develop delirium compared to those with medium-high cognitive reserve (OR 9; 95% CI 2.86 to 28.22).Conclusion:Low cognitive reserve may serve as a risk factor for delirium in the elderly. The measure of CRI in the geriatric inpatients unit can be used to determine those at risk of developing delirium. Further research are warranted to elaborate potentially modifiable variables of cognitive reserve to minimize the risk of delirium.
目的:认知储备(Cognitive Reserve,CR)是在观察到一些人与其他具有相同脑损伤或神经病理的人相比,认知障碍较少的情况下发展起来的。认知储备是一种潜在的可改变特征。大多数关于认知储备的研究都是针对痴呆症等慢性进展性疾病的。本研究旨在确定认知储备在老年谵妄病例中的作用。方法:本病例对照研究于2019年6月至9月在印度尼西亚雅加达Cipto Mangunkusumo医院的急性老年病住院患者中进行,包括33名谵妄患者和33名对照组患者。结果:我们发现,与非谵妄对照组相比,谵妄患者的CRIq总分和各分项得分均较低,平均差异有统计学意义(p<0,01)。中低认知储备的患者也比中高认知储备的患者更容易出现谵妄(OR 9; 95% CI 2.86 to 28.22)。在老年住院病人病房中测量CRI可用于确定哪些人有发生谵妄的风险。我们有必要开展进一步研究,探讨认知储备的潜在可调节变量,以最大限度地降低谵妄风险。

Cognitive reserve is a potentially modifiable characteristic. Most of studies on cognitive reserve were conducted on chronic progressive diseases such as dementia. This study aims to define the role of cognitive reserve in geriatric delirium cases.Methods:This case-control study was conducted in the acute geriatric inpatient of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia on June to September 2019 that consisted of 33 subjects with delirium and 33 controls. The measurement of cognitive reserve was done using the Indonesian adaptation of Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq) with 3 subscales, i.e. Education, Work Activity and Leisure Time.Results:We found that the CRIq scores of delirium patients were lower compared to the non-delirium controls both on total and each subscores, with a statistically significant mean difference (p<0,01). Patients with low-medium cognitive reserve also more likely to develop delirium compared to those with medium-high cognitive reserve (OR 9; 95% CI 2.86 to 28.22).Conclusion:Low cognitive reserve may serve as a risk factor for delirium in the elderly. The measure of CRI in the geriatric inpatients unit can be used to determine those at risk of developing delirium. Further research are warranted to elaborate potentially modifiable variables of cognitive reserve to minimize the risk of delirium.","PeriodicalId":14368,"journal":{"name":"International psychogeriatrics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139667038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective:The aim of this review was to describe the usage and effectiveness of errorless learning in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) rehabilitation methods reported in the literature over the past 10 years.Methods:Two databases were searched (PubMed, EMBASE) using the key words “errorless learning and ADL and IADL”. Articles published in the last 10 years in English were considered.Results:4 studies were identified that included 94 people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 129 people with stroke (104 with amnesia and 25 with ideational apraxia ).One study on AD patients showed that it is possible for them to re-learn relevant IADL activities using the errorless learning (EL) and spaced retrieval (SR) techniques and to maintain these gains for at least 3 months (t =2.811; df =22.246; p=0.010).In another study on AD patients, participants with AD had to re-learn three IADLs. All three learning methods (including EL) had similar efficiency (F(2,94)=21,99). However, the intervention resulted in greater improvement in actual IADL task performance than in explicit knowledge.In another study, structured ADL re-training in stroke survivors with amnesia significantly increased functional independence (MD: 4.90, SE=1.4, 95% confidence interval) and shortened time of hospitalisation (mean difference: 5.22, SE= 1.4, 95% CI: 1.8, 8.7).The fourth study presented a model in which patients with post-stroke ideational apraxia attended tea making training sessions during which progress was monitored and feedback was provided via a computer system. A qualitative analysis of errors was conducted before training, and the most common errors observed were those related to kettlebell and continuous perseveration. After training, the frequency of errors decreased for all error types except for skipping a step.Conclusion:The results of the studies discussed demonstrate the wide range of applications of error-free learning protocols in both AD patients and post-stroke patients. A clearly specified but flexible training protocol, together with information on error distribution, provide pointers for further refinement of task model approaches in ADL and IADL rehabilitation.

Background:Social connection is important for health, quality of life and care in long-term care (LTC) homes. However, research on how to improve social connection in LTC has been limited by lack of consensus on best approaches to measurement.Research Objective:We will present a systematic review of measures of social connection developed for use in LTC residents, which aims to identify all existing measures and evaluate their measurement properties including structural validity, internal consistency, reliability and construct validity.Method:We are following Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) systematic review methods. We searched multiple bibliographic databases from inception to November 2021 for studies that were conducted in LTC resident populations, quantified any aspect(s) of social connection, and reported at least one psychometric property for the measure(s) of social connection. We conducted a second targeted search in April 2022 based on our list of identified measures, supplemented with a list of measures used in previous research in this population. We are currently evaluating the measurement properties reported for each identified measure in accordance with COSMIN guidelines.Preliminary results of the ongoing study:We have identified 68 studies reporting on 35 measures used to assess multiple aspects of social connection in LTC homes. The majority (n=25) were measures of quality of life, wellbeing or life satisfaction, which included a social connection subdomain, whilst only 10 measures specifically target social connection. From our pooled evaluation of 20 measures to date, we have found that 20% (n=4) have sufficient evidence of structural validity, 15% (n=3) have sufficient internal consistency, 25% (n=5) have sufficient reliability, and 15% (n=3) have sufficient construct validity.Conclusion:Many measures have been used to assess social connection in LTC settings, but few are specifically designed for this purpose and they often have insufficient evidence for psychometric properties. This review will provide detailed evidence of the quality of these measures to enable future researchers to prioritise higher quality tools and will inform our development of a new person-centred social connection measurement tool for LTC residents in the Social Connection in Long-Term Care Home Residents (SONNET) study.

Background:The COVID-19 situation could be considered as an uncontrollable stressful life event. It may exert an impact on their quality of life (QoL). Not only COVID related variables, sociodemographic characteristics, health and appraisal but also personal resources could have an impact on QoL.Research Objective:This study aims to assess the association between QoL and sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age), levels of health (physical health, emotional distress, and psychological well-being), COVID-19 related variables (having got infected, having lost a loved person, being hospitalized or having had a loved one hospitalized), appraisal (fear of COVID-19 outbreak), personal resources (family function, resilience, acceptance and gratitude).Method:QoL was assessed in all participants using CASP-19. A regression model was tested. 361 older adults in Spain participated in this study. The average age was 68.44 (SD= 5.31) and 62.8% were women (N= 227) and 58.2% were married (N= 210).Preliminary results on the ongoing study:The results suggest that the nature of the COVID-19 may not be as relevant for the older adults’ QoL as their levels of health, personal resources for managing COVID related and emotional status. We found that the older adults QoL increased when increased the levels of health, acceptance, gratitude, personal growth, and purpose in life and when there were lower scores in anxiety and depression. This model explained 66.4% of variance. In contrast, COVID-19 variables or appraisal did not show any association with QoL.Conclusion:A better understanding of the factors associated with QoL could help health professionals to develop interventions that enhance it. Efforts to address older adults’ QoL focusing on older adults’ personal resources, perceived health and emotional status should be considered.
背景:COVID-19 情况可被视为无法控制的生活压力事件。这可能会对他们的生活质量(QoL)产生影响。不仅 COVID 相关变量、社会人口特征、健康和评价,而且个人资源也会对 QoL 产生影响。研究目的:本研究旨在评估 QoL 与社会人口学特征(性别、年龄)、健康水平(身体健康、情绪困扰和心理健康)、COVID-19 相关变量(感染过、失去过亲人、住院过或亲人住院过)、评价(对 COVID-19 爆发的恐惧)、个人资源(家庭功能、复原力、接受度和感激之情)之间的关系。对回归模型进行了测试。西班牙有 361 名老年人参与了这项研究。正在进行的研究的初步结果:研究结果表明,COVID-19 的性质与老年人的健康水平、管理 COVID 相关的个人资源和情感状况相比,可能与老年人的 QoL 不太相关。我们发现,当老年人的健康、接纳、感恩、个人成长和生活目标水平提高,焦虑和抑郁得分降低时,他们的生活质量就会提高。该模型解释了 66.4% 的方差。相比之下,COVID-19 变量或评价与 QoL 没有任何关联。应考虑努力解决老年人的 QoL 问题,重点关注老年人的个人资源、健康感知和情绪状态。

With the rising prevalence of dementia, numbers of people with Young Onset Dementia will probably increase too. Young onset dementia is increasingly being recognized as an important psychosocial and medical health problem with serious consequences for both patients and their families. In several countries it is acknowledged that this group of people, in which dementia started before the age of 65 years, has special needs and therefore a need for support and health care services that are particularly designed to fit those needs. However, the number of these special health care services is scarce.Main Objectives of the Young Onset Dementia Shared Interest Forum:Establishing a network of professionals and researchers that are involved in the care and research of people with Young Onset DementiaExchanging ideas between countries to improve care for people with Young Onset DementiaEstablish international research projects.During the meeting we will explore opportunities for international collaboration in new research projects.
