Purpose: The present study aimed to explore the types of non-pharmacological interventions and evaluate their effectiveness in reducing wandering behavior in patientis with dementia.Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline. Searching eight databases (Cochrane, Ovid-MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, PsycInfo, RISS, KISS, and KMBASE) yielded 899 related studies. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of these studies, using Revised Cochrane risk of bias for randomized trials (ROB) 2.0 and Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-randomised Study (ROBANS) 2.0, based on this study design. The Algase Wandering Scale related to wandering behavior reported the standardized mean differences and their 95% confidence intervals.Results: A total of seven studies, consisting of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and three quasi-experimental studies, met the inclusion criteria. Among non-pharmacological interventions, aromatherapy was the most common. However, therapeutic contact, therapeutic companion robot, tailored activity program, combining physical activity, memory recall, music therapy, and multisensory stimulation were also performed in one study, respectively. In a meta-analysis (RevMan 5.4), non-pharmacological interventions reduced wandering behavior in patients with dementia and mild to moderate functional impairments (p=.003).Conclusion: The result of this meta-analysis suggests that non-pharmacological interventions are generally associated with reduced wandering behavior among patients with dementia and mild-moderate functional impairment. However, it is necessary to develop a more detailed non-pharmacological intervention for patients with dementia and wandering behavior according to their disease stage and characteristics.

Purpose: The present study aimed to examine the effect of a physical-strengthening exercise program on physical fitness, depression, and cognitive function in older patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods: Forty-one PD patients who were recruited from D University hospital in B Metropolitan City were allocated to the experimental group (n=21) and control group (n=20). Participants completed the physical-strengthening exercise program 2 times a week for 12 weeks. Before and after the intervention, we administered a senior fitness test (SFT), the depression scale (the Korean version of the Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale, MADRS-K), and cognitive function scale (the Korean version of the Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale, ADAS-K). The data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA.Results: The physical-strengthening exercise program was effective as indicated by significant improvement in physical fitness, cognitive function, but not depression in participants.Conclusion: Our results suggest the physical-strengthening exercise program will be a valuable non-pharmacological intervention to promote physical fitness and cognitive function in older patients with PD. In addition, this intervention may be used to alleviate the risk of gait disturbance and falls due to PD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the short Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I).Methods: The Korean version of the short FES-I was developed through the FES-I translation protocol. Participants for the psychometric tests included 300 older adults (100 visiting a senior welfare center, 100 registered as frail elderly in a public health center, and 100 visiting an orthopedic department at a university hospital after hip-fracture surgery). The psychometric tests included content, construct, criterion validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.Results: One factor of the seven items was validated and explained by 79.4% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the model fit and convergent validity. Mean scores according to fall history were also significantly different. Correlation analysis confirmed criterion validity with a single item of fear of falling (r=.76, p<.001). There were reliable internal consistencies with Cronbach’s α coefficients of .95 and, .93, and the ICC (Intra-class Correlation Coefficient) for test-retest reliability was .95.Conclusion: This scale showed excellent validity and reliability in Korea. It is useful to measure fear of falling for older adults in clinical or community settings.

Jin-Hee Lee, G. Hong
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of caregiving experiences derived from male and female caregivers whose spouses were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.Methods: The data were collected from October to December 2021 through one-on-one in-depth interviews with six male and six female spouse caregivers and analyzed based on the Colaizzi's phenomenological method.Results: In accordance with the results, three categories and six themes were respectively deduced for each group by gender. The results illustrate that the group of males tended to adapt themselves to a new role of caregiving by utilizing external resources and maintaining a positive attitude to continue their duties. The deeper the family members’ trust in them, the greater their motivation to sustain caregiving duties. Female caregivers tended to perceive caregiving as an additional duty to what they had been doing; therefore, they became mentally and physically exhausted. Nevertheless, they reduced stress through socializing with others and performing outdoor activities. Continuously interacting with their spouses also helped them continue caregiving.Conclusion: This study suggests a need forunderstanding a gender difference in caregiving roles and perceptions and the importance of developing a gender-specific program to support family caregivers. Future studies are warranted to develop an educational program for different roles and responsibilities that might be influenced by the caregiver’s gender and should verify the effect of the program.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Behavioral Management Skill (K-BMS) for family caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and other types of dementia (non-AD).Methods: 258 family caregivers of people with AD and 201 family caregivers of people with non-AD were included to examine the K-BMS’s reliability and validity by psychometric tests. Item analysis, construct validity with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the known-groups method, concurrent validity test with correlations testing among a visual analogue scale (VAS), single general item (SGI), and Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), and internal consistency reliability were conducted for the psychometric tests.Results: The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis yielded a two-factor model with 11 items. Results supported that the K-BMS was an appropriate model for both AD and non-AD groups with good convergent validity. Construct validity and reliability were established using the known-groups method and Cronbach’s ⍺. The concurrent validity was established with a VAS (AD: r=.22, p<.001; non-AD: r=.27, p<.001), SGI (AD: r=.30, p<.001), and ZBI (AD: r=.36, p<.001; non-AD: r=.40, p<.001).Conclusion: The K-BMS is a valid and reliable measurement to assess family caregivers’ skills to manage behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia regardless of the type of dementia. Other scales to measure similar concepts must be developed further.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the experiences of nursing students who took a clinical practicum in geriatric nursing through virtual and hybrid simulation.Methods: The study employed a mixed-method design. Participants in quantitative research were 94 nursing students (Virtual simulation group: 45, Hybrid simulation group: 49). Qualitative research was conducted with 4 focus groups (7 students per group). Quantitative data were analyzed using x2 and t-test with SPSS/WIN 23.0. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis.Results: The hybrid simulation group had significantly more interest in gerontological nursing (t=10.45, p=.002), sharing opinions (t=6.93, p=.010), and recognition of one's own strengths and weaknesses (t=15.90, p<.001) than the virtual simulation group. The two simulation training experiences were shown in five themes: (1) space and relationship, (2) role differences as learners, (3) higher-order thinking skills, (4) embodied knowledge by acquisition, and (5) differences in perspectives on patients. Overall, the learning attitude according to the hybrid simulation was reported to be higher than that of the virtual simulation.Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it suggests an effective method for nursing practice for older adults by comparing the experience of virtual simulation and hybrid simulation methods in clinical practice of gerontological nursing.

Participants in quantitative research were 94 nursing students (Virtual simulation group: 45, Hybrid simulation group: 49). Qualitative research was conducted with 4 focus groups (7 students per group). Quantitative data were analyzed using x2 and t-test with SPSS/WIN 23.0. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis.Results: The hybrid simulation group had significantly more interest in gerontological nursing (t=10.45, p=.002), sharing opinions (t=6.93, p=.010), and recognition of one's own strengths and weaknesses (t=15.90, p<.001) than the virtual simulation group. The two simulation training experiences were shown in five themes: (1) space and relationship, (2) role differences as learners, (3) higher-order thinking skills, (4) embodied knowledge by acquisition, and (5) differences in perspectives on patients. Overall, the learning attitude according to the hybrid simulation was reported to be higher than that of the virtual simulation.Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it suggests an effective method for nursing practice for older adults by comparing the experience of virtual simulation and hybrid simulation methods in clinical practice of gerontological nursing.","PeriodicalId":52377,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Korean Gerontological Nursing","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90193491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to the end-of-life care competency of long-term-care hospital nurses.Methods: This study was conducted from June 1 to 29, 2021. Data were collected from 191 nurses working in 10 long-term hospitals using a structured self-reported questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0 program by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression.Results: As a result of multiple linear regression analysis, the factors affecting end-of-life care competency were empathy competency (β=.46, p<001), frequency of supportive behaviors for end-of-life care (β=.19, p=.005), position (β=.19, p=.002), and religion (β=.14, p=.031). This regression model was explained by 35.5% of variances in end-of-life care competency.Conclusion: To improve the quality of life and death of older adults at the end of their life, strategies are needed to identify and reinforce end-of-life care-support behavior factors and improve end-of-life care competency by improving empathy competency.
