Objective

To validate the Chinese version of the DDT-Pro and to define its cutoffs for delirium and for subsyndromal delirium in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 591 participants. We determined the DDT-Pro cutoffs for best sensitivity, best specificity, or high combined sensitivity-specificity in delirium and subsyndromal delirium assessment.

Results

The ROC curve analysis of the DDT-Pro using the DSM-5-TR and the Delirium Rating Scale-Revised-98 (DRS-R98) as diagnostic standards displayed AUCs of 0.93 and 0.86. The ≤ 7 cutoff of the DDT-Pro is for detecting even SSD, the ≤ 6 cutoff favors sensitivity for delirium screening and is recommended for routine use, and the ≤ 5 cutoff favors specificity and has high combined sensitivity-specificity. The ≤ 6 cutoff had 95.35% sensitivity and 81.75% specificity for DSM-5-TR delirium, while the sensitivity and specificity for DRS-R98 delirium were 82.14% and 82.24%. The DDT-Pro displayed excellent inter-rater reliability in this sample, as well as high correlation with the DRS-R98 Severity scale in patients with DSM-5-TR delirium.

Conclusion

The Chinese DDT-Pro is valid and reliable for assessing delirium and its severity, with high screening performance at the ≤ 6 cutoff and other cutoff options for more specific diagnosis or for subsyndromal delirium detection.
目的:验证中文版的DDT-Pro,并确定其对社区老年人谵妄和亚综合征性谵妄的截断值。方法:横断面研究纳入591名受试者。我们确定了DDT-Pro在谵妄和亚综合征性谵妄评估中的最佳敏感性、最佳特异性或高联合敏感性-特异性的截止值。结果:以DSM-5-TR和谵妄评定量表修订-98 (DRS-R98)为诊断标准进行DDT-Pro的ROC曲线分析,auc分别为0.93和0.86。DDT-Pro≤7的截止值适用于均匀SSD的检测,≤6的截止值有利于谵妄筛查的灵敏度,推荐常规使用,≤5的截止值有利于特异性,具有较高的综合敏感特异性。≤6的临界值对DSM-5-TR谵妄的敏感性为95.35%,特异性为81.75%,对DRS-R98谵妄的敏感性为82.14%,特异性为82.24%。DDT-Pro在本样本中表现出良好的量表间信度,并且与DSM-5-TR谵妄患者的DRS-R98严重程度量表有较高的相关性。结论:中文DDT-Pro用于评估谵妄及其严重程度是有效可靠的,在≤6临界值和其他临界值选择时具有较高的筛查性能,可用于更具体的诊断或亚综合征性谵妄的检测。

Objective

This study was conducted to examine the approaches of nurses working in home health care to palliative care, to determine their expectations regarding palliative care nursing, and to describe their journey toward palliative care nursing.

Methods

The study was designed using the grounded theory method following the Strauss and Corbin version. The study was conducted with 12 nurses working in the Home Health Services Unit of a state hospital. The study was conducted between July 2023 and February 2024. Data analysis included open coding, axial coding, and selective coding.

Results

The ages of the nurses participating in the study ranged from 23 to 27, and their palliative care experience ranged from 2 to 14 years. The study revealed that the journey of palliative care nursing goes through three stages: (1) Professional inadequacy and emotional turmoil; initial encounter with a palliative care patient, insufficient nursing knowledge, ineffective use of communication, developing emotional insight (2) Educational and skill development; skills developed through apprenticeship, attitude towards palliative care nursing, risk and crisis management (3) Transition to a Holistic Practice; integrating the environment into care planning, individual and cultural beliefs, identifying patient-specific issues, planning appropriate trainings, multidisciplinary approach. Challenges and facilitating factors affecting this process have been identified.

Conclusion

This study provides valuable insights into enhancing the quality of palliative care delivered by nurses in home care settings. It also highlights the critical importance of supporting nurses' professional development in the delivery of holistic palliative care.

The study investigated the effectiveness of combining aerobic exercise (AE) with varying durations of cognitive training (CT) to improve age-related cognitive impairment. In a randomized controlled trial with 84 participants, they were assigned to one of four groups: 30-min AE + 30-min CT, 30-min AE + 15-min CT, AE-only, or a control group. Over 12 weeks, participants performed moderate-intensity aerobic exercise three times per week, with cognitive training durations of 30, 15, or 0 min. Significant improvements in cognitive function (MoCA scores) were observed in all exercise groups, with the 30-min AE + 30-min CT group showing the most pronounced benefits. This group also showed improvements in physical and mental quality of life (SF-36). No significant changes were noted in the MMSE or activities of daily living (Lawton-IADL scale). The findings suggest that combining aerobic exercise with 30-minute cognitive training improves cognitive function and quality of life in older adults.

Introduction

Residents in long-term residential care facilities (LTRCFs) commonly exhibit low levels of routine out-of-bed activity (OBA), which are closely associated with functional independence, activities of daily living (ADL), and quality of life (QOL). However, evidence on feasible and rapidly effective implementation strategies to enhance routine OBA in long-term care settings remains limited.

Objective

This project evaluated the effectiveness of implementing a Quality Control Circle (QCC) framework to improve routine OBA among LTRCF residents and its short-term effects on ADL performance, with an emphasis on feasibility and early clinical benefit to support practice implementation.

Methods

A multidisciplinary QCC team was established in a long-term residential care facility. Guided by the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle, a structured 12-step QCC framework was developed through statistical analysis, group discussions, and brainstorming to identify barriers to routine OBA facilitation. Standard operating procedures for routine OBA and 13 targeted action plans were integrated into daily care workflows. Short-term process and outcome indicators were evaluated.

Results

Following implementation, routine OBA participation increased from 23% at baseline to 65% post-intervention, corresponding to an improvement rate of 182.61% and an achievement rate of 241.52% relative to the predefined project target. Mean ADL scores improved from 70.58 to 80.08, representing a statistically significant 9.5-point increase (t = 18.01, p < 0.0001). Additional benefits included improved multidisciplinary communication, problem-solving, and team collaboration.

Conclusion

The QCC framework effectively enhanced routine OBA participation and ADL performance in a long-term residential care setting. Although long-term sustainability requires further evaluation, the demonstrated short-term feasibility and early functional benefits support early implementation in clinical practice.
长期住宿护理机构(ltrcf)的居民通常表现出低水平的日常床外活动(OBA),这与功能独立性、日常生活活动(ADL)和生活质量(QOL)密切相关。然而,关于可行和快速有效的实施战略,以加强长期护理环境中的常规门诊治疗的证据仍然有限。目的本项目评估实施质量控制圈(QCC)框架以改善LTRCF住院患者常规OBA的有效性及其对ADL表现的短期影响,重点研究可行性和早期临床效益,以支持实践实施。方法在长期安老院建立多学科质量控制小组。在计划-执行-检查-行动(PDCA)循环的指导下,通过统计分析、小组讨论和头脑风暴,制定了结构化的12步质量协调框架,以确定日常OBA便利化的障碍。日常护理工作流程中纳入了常规门诊治疗的标准操作程序和13项有针对性的行动计划。评估短期过程和结果指标。结果实施后,常规OBA参与率从基线时的23%增加到干预后的65%,相对于预先设定的项目目标,改善率为182.61%,完成率为241.52%。平均ADL评分从70.58分提高到80.08分,提高9.5分,具有统计学意义(t = 18.01, p < 0.0001)。其他好处包括改进多学科交流、解决问题和团队协作。结论QCC框架有效地提高了长期住宿护理患者的日常OBA参与和ADL表现。虽然长期可持续性需要进一步评估,但已证明的短期可行性和早期功能效益支持在临床实践中早期实施。

Internal experience of an aging self: A grounded theory study on women’s aging awareness beyond midlife 衰老自我的内在体验:中年以后女性衰老意识的扎根理论研究。
IF 2.4 3区 医学 Q3 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2026-03-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.gerinurse.2026.103967

Purpose

Awareness of one’s own aging is a critical psychological process that shapes adaptation and well-being in later life. For women, age awareness is influenced by gendered experiences such as bodily changes, menopause, and shifting social roles. This study aimed to develop a grounded theory explaining how women aged 50–75 construct and adapt their awareness of aging through everyday life contexts.

Methods

This study was guided by constructivist grounded theory, informed by symbolic interactionism and social constructionism. Nineteen in-depth interviews were conducted between 2021 and 2023. Data were analyzed using constant comparative methods, including initial and focused coding, memo writing, and theoretical integration.

Results

The core category, internal experience of an aging self, emerged as the central adaptive process. Initially not aware of one’s own aging, participants gradually developed an emerging awareness, often followed by confusion as they struggled to interpret the changes. Internalization involved mirroring aging through self and close others, reflecting on the normal life cycle, and managing oneself in accordance with age-related changes, ultimately leading to embracing aging with psychological balance. Some faced emotional turmoil—triggered by chronic conditions, negative body image, and financial or role insecurity—and developed a negative outlook on one’s future self, reflecting disruption in the internalization process.

Conclusion

These findings suggest the importance of gerontological nursing interventions that support emotional resilience, reflective adaptation, and self-directed aging. Tailored strategies that facilitate women’s internalization of aging may promote psychological well-being and agency in later life.
目的:意识到自己的衰老是一个关键的心理过程,影响着以后生活的适应和幸福。对妇女来说,年龄意识受到性别经历的影响,如身体变化、更年期和社会角色的转变。本研究旨在发展一个扎根的理论,解释50-75岁的女性如何通过日常生活情境构建和适应她们对衰老的认识。方法:本研究以建构主义理论为指导,以符号互动主义和社会建构主义为理论基础。在2021年至2023年期间进行了19次深度访谈。数据分析使用恒定的比较方法,包括初始和集中编码,备忘录写作和理论整合。结果:衰老自我的内在体验这一核心范畴成为核心适应过程。参与者最初没有意识到自己的衰老,但逐渐意识到这一点,在努力解释这些变化时,他们往往会感到困惑。内化包括通过自我和亲近的人来反映衰老,反思正常的生命周期,并根据与年龄相关的变化来管理自己,最终导致心理平衡地接受衰老。一些人面临着由慢性病、消极的身体形象、经济或角色不安全感引发的情绪动荡,并对未来的自己产生了消极的看法,这反映了内化过程的中断。结论:这些发现提示老年护理干预的重要性,支持情绪弹性,反思适应和自我导向老龄化。量身定制的策略,促进妇女的内化衰老可能促进心理健康和代理在以后的生活。

Objective

Employee turnover has been a persistent challenge in U.S. nursing homes. The annual turnover rate of 48.71% among nursing staff has significant negative impacts on residents’ quality of care and well-being. This qualitative study aimed to understand the complex factors which influence nursing home employee retention to identify incentives (perks) which have the potential to increase retention in long-term care settings.

Methods

We conducted 3 focus groups with a total of 31 participants at a 115-bed nursing home, with the goal of gathering employee perspectives on factors influencing personal retention decisions. A focus group interview guide was employed to facilitate the discussions, while allowing flexibility for participants to introduce additional topics. Two moderators were present during each session to guide the discussions, take notes, and record meetings. Thematic analysis was used to analyze focus group data.

Results

Four main recurrent themes and several subthemes emerged from these discussions: 1. Recognition (subthemes: verbal/written recognition and tangible rewards); 2. Culture (subthemes: interpersonal dynamics, flexibility, and management); 3. Nutrition (subthemes: food and drink); and 4. Other incentives (educational benefits, career promotion). Participants identified traditional benefits, such as salary and dedicated sick leave, as important retention factors.

Discussion

员工流动一直是美国养老院面临的一个长期挑战。护理人员的年流失率为48.71%,对居民的护理质量和幸福感产生了显著的负面影响。本定性研究旨在了解影响养老院员工保留率的复杂因素,以确定有可能增加长期护理环境中保留率的激励(津贴)。方法我们在一家115张床位的养老院进行了3个焦点小组,共有31名参与者,目的是收集员工对影响个人保留决策因素的观点。采用了焦点小组访谈指南来促进讨论,同时允许与会者灵活地提出其他主题。每次会议都有两位主持人出席,以指导讨论、做笔记和记录会议。采用专题分析法对焦点小组数据进行分析。从这些讨论中出现了四个主要的反复主题和几个次级主题:1。认可(副主题:口头/书面认可和有形奖励);2. 文化(副主题:人际动态、灵活性和管理);3. 营养(分主题:食品和饮料);和4。其他激励措施(教育福利、职业晋升)。与会者认为,工资和专用病假等传统福利是重要的挽留因素。讨论焦点小组的参与者表示,激励措施可能会影响他们离职的意愿。未来的研究应该在更具体的护理人员群体中探索这一领域,并研究在长期护理环境中实施保留激励的政策层面策略,以改善长期护理设施居民的护理和结果。

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the direct and indirect relationships between self-management behavior, psychological distress, health literacy, and interoceptive sensibility in stroke survivors using a structural equation model (SEM).

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 417 stroke survivors. Validated scales measured self-management behavior (Stroke Self-Management Questionnaire), psychological distress (SCL-90), health literacy (Health Literacy Questionnaire), and interoceptive sensibility (Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness). SEM was used to analyze hypothesized pathways and mediation effects.

Results

The final SEM model demonstrated acceptable fit (CFI = 0.88, RMSEA = 0.08). The indirect effects of interoceptive sensibility and health literacy on self-management behavior were -0.075(p < 0.01) and 0.182(p < 0.01), respectively, while the total effect of interoceptive sensibility on self-management behavior was 0.136(p < 0.01). Interoceptive sensibility was significantly related to self-management behavior (β = 0.19, p < 0.01), psychological distress (β = 0.62, p < 0.01), and health literacy (β = 0.67, p < 0.01). Demographic characteristics were inversely related to self-management behavior (β = −0.04, p = 0.007). Psychological distress had a significant negative association on self-management behavior (β= −0.22, p < 0.01), while health literacy had a significant positive association on self-management behavior (β= 0.42, p < 0.01).

Conclusion

Interoceptive sensibility is a critical association of self-management behavior in stroke survivors, with psychological distress and health literacy acting as mediators. Interventions should prioritize reducing psychological distress, improving health literacy, and integrating interoceptive awareness training.
目的:采用结构方程模型(SEM)探讨脑卒中幸存者自我管理行为、心理困扰、健康素养和内感受敏感性之间的直接和间接关系。方法:对417例脑卒中幸存者进行横断面研究。经验证的量表测量自我管理行为(中风自我管理问卷)、心理困扰(SCL-90)、健康素养(健康素养问卷)和内感受敏感性(内感受意识多维评估)。扫描电镜分析了假设的途径和中介效应。结果:最终的SEM模型具有可接受的拟合性(CFI = 0.88, RMSEA = 0.08)。内感受感和健康素养对自我管理行为的间接影响分别为-0.075(p < 0.01)和0.182(p < 0.01),而内感受感对自我管理行为的总影响为0.136(p < 0.01)。内感受性与自我管理行为(β = 0.19, p < 0.01)、心理困扰(β = 0.62, p < 0.01)、健康素养(β = 0.67, p < 0.01)显著相关。人口统计学特征与自我管理行为呈负相关(β = -0.04, p = 0.007)。心理困扰对自我管理行为有显著负相关(β= -0.22, p < 0.01),健康素养对自我管理行为有显著正相关(β= 0.42, p < 0.01)。结论:内感受性是脑卒中幸存者自我管理行为的重要相关因素,心理困扰和健康素养是中介因素。干预措施应优先减少心理困扰,提高健康素养,并整合内感受意识培训。

This study aimed to develop an analytical theoretical model of care burden’s downstream effects on hemodialysis patients’ family caregivers using grounded theory (Strauss-Corbin paradigm). From January to June 2023, 80 caregivers from three tertiary hospitals were selected via purposive and theoretical sampling. Semi-structured interviews collected qualitative data; the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) aided sampling (selecting those with mild-to-severe burden) and validation, not core quantitative analysis. NVIVO 12.0 supported three-level coding, with anonymized interview vignettes and trustworthiness strategies (triangulation, etc.) boosting transparency. Results identified five dimensions (mental health as core) and a dynamic transmission pathway forming a burden cycle, first revealing this mechanism to guide clinical multi-dimensional interventions.

Background

Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome characterized by the coexistence of sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis, which can lead to frailty and mortality. The effectiveness of physical exercise on osteosarcopenia, particularly on muscular and skeletal parameters, remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to analyze the impact of exercise interventions on osteosarcopenia in older adults and to describe the diagnostic methods used in different clinical trials.

Methods

Randomized clinical trials conducted in older adults (≥65 years) diagnosed with osteosarcopenia were included, sourced from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus databases without language or publication year restrictions, up to July 2024. Osteosarcopenia was defined as the coexistence of sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) criteria. Exercise interventions of at least four weeks were considered, with comparisons to non-exercise control groups. This systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42016043310).

Results

A total of 250 articles were identified, but only four studies met the eligibility criteria, involving 195 participants. All included studies utilized resistance training (RT) as the exercise intervention. The most common diagnostic criteria for osteosarcopenia were based on the T-score of the lumbar spine and/or femur, measured via DXA, using World Health Organization cut-off points for bone mineral density (BMD) and the criteria from the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People for sarcopenia. RT was found to be effective in increasing strength and muscle mass in older adults diagnosed with osteosarcopenia, though it did not significantly improve physical performance.

Conclusion

There are few studies on this topic, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions regarding the effectiveness of physical exercise in older adults with osteosarcopenia. Resistance training showed positive results, particularly in improving strength and muscle mass.

背景:骨骼肌减少症是一种以骨骼肌减少和骨质减少/骨质疏松共存为特征的老年综合征,可导致虚弱和死亡。体育锻炼对骨骼肌减少症的有效性,特别是对肌肉和骨骼参数的有效性尚不清楚。本系统综述旨在分析运动干预对老年人骨骼肌减少症的影响,并描述不同临床试验中使用的诊断方法。方法:纳入在诊断为骨骼肌减少症的老年人(≥65岁)中进行的随机临床试验,这些试验来自PubMed, Embase, Cochrane和Scopus数据库,没有语言或出版年份限制,截至2024年7月。根据双能x线骨密度测定(DXA)标准,骨量减少症定义为骨量减少和骨质减少/骨质疏松症共存。考虑进行至少四周的运动干预,并与不运动的对照组进行比较。该系统评价遵循PRISMA指南,并在PROSPERO注册(CRD42016043310)。结果:共纳入250篇文献,但只有4篇研究符合入选标准,共纳入195名受试者。所有纳入的研究均采用阻力训练(RT)作为运动干预。骨骼肌减少症最常见的诊断标准是基于腰椎和/或股骨的t评分,通过DXA测量,使用世界卫生组织骨密度(BMD)的分界点和欧洲老年人骨骼肌减少症工作组的标准。研究发现,RT疗法可以有效地增加被诊断为骨骼肌减少症的老年人的力量和肌肉质量,尽管它没有显著改善身体表现。结论:关于这一主题的研究很少,因此很难得出关于体育锻炼对老年人骨骼肌减少症的有效性的明确结论。阻力训练显示出积极的效果,特别是在提高力量和肌肉质量方面。普洛斯彼罗注册号:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD42020215659。
