ABSTRACTThis study explored the roles of social support and resilience in understanding the impact of barriers to needed services as well as the impact of COVID-19 on kinship caregivers’ efforts to care for themselves. Based upon a sample of 135 kinship caregivers, analyses suggested that social support and resilience mediated barriers to service – self-care relationships as well as impact of COVID-19 – self-care relationships, subject to whether overall impact or physical/mental health-relational impact was considered. These findings help to understand why some kinship caregivers are more adept at meeting their own self-care needs than are others during COVID-19 and have implications for enhancing resilience and social support among kinship caregivers in the face of COVID-19.KEYWORDS: Kinship careresiliencesocial supportgrandparents Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Contribution to the FieldThis paper identifies the key roles that personal resilience and social support play in impacting kinship caregivers’ response to the pandemic. It moreover contextualizes not only COVID-19 impact but also self-care in understanding relationships between both barriers to service and virus impact on self-care as a response to the COVID-19 lockdown. Findings have implications for capitalizing on the strengths that kinship caregivers bring in coping with the pandemic.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the William Penn Foundation.

ABSTRACTDuring Covid-19, most in-person intergenerational service-learning programs were halted or transitioned to virtual formats due to social-distancing guidelines. This study qualitatively examined in-person and virtual versions of the Lives Well Lived program, which matches older adults (OAs) with undergraduate students to participate in a mutual interviewing, life review project. Post-test data from open-ended questions were analyzed to compare themes regarding program outcomes. Recognition of OA interindividual differences, intergenerational relationship’s value, and decreased fear of aging themes developed in both program versions but there were also differences. Participants in the virtual version regretted not engaging in person, did not mention altruism/empathy, expressed appreciation of peer relationships in addition to OA relationships, and disliked writing reflection papers. Recommendations are given for ensuring similar learning outcomes when engaging in virtual programming, whether due to COVID-19 or in additional situations to pandemics, such as rural settings, lack of transportation/mobility, or time limitations.KEYWORDS: Agingvirtualintergenerationalservice-learninggerontology AcknowledgmentsThanks to Sky Bergman, Lives Well Lived filmmaker for her participation in the Lives Well Lived project and Dr. Phyllis Solomon for her mentorship.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Contributions to the FieldThis study advances the intergenerational field by (1) providing guidance to those wanting to implement a short, virtual, intergenerational service-learning program; (2) elucidating some of the similarities and differences in student experience when participating in virtual vs. in-person versions of the same program; (3) exemplifying use of comparative qualitative studies when investigating the efficacy of intergenerational interventions delivered through both virtual and in-person modalities.Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15350770.2023.2261441

ABSTRACT In March 2020, many U.S. states issued stay-at-home orders to reduce COVID-19 infections and deaths. In early messaging from governments and public health officials, older adults were often portrayed as vulnerable and frail, perpetuating negative age stereotypes. Thus, views of older adults were intertwined in discussions of whether to prioritize the economy versus public health. Among a community sample, greater endorsement of positive age stereotypes and a Democrat identity significantly predicted COVID-19 health-focused beliefs (reducing infections), whereas, younger age, greater perceived health control, and a Republican identity significantly predicted COVID-19 economy-focused beliefs (reopening economy). Implications and future directions are discussed.
