A Virtual Community for Disability Advocacy: Development of a Searchable Artificial Intelligence-Supported Platform.

Background: The lack of availability of disability data has been identified as a major challenge hindering continuous disability equity monitoring. It is important to develop a platform that enables searching for disability data to expose systemic discrimination and social exclusion, which increase vulnerability to inequitable social conditions.

Objective: Our project aims to create an accessible and multilingual pilot disability website that structures and integrates data about people with disabilities and provides data for national and international disability advocacy communities.

The Potential of an Artificial Intelligence for Disability Advocacy: The WikiDisability Project.

Human rights monitoring for people with disabilities is in urgent need for disability data that is shared and available for local and international disability stakeholders (e.g., advocacy groups).

The Factors Associated With Anxiety Symptom Severity in Older Adults Living in Nursing Homes and Other Residential Aged Care Facilities.

This study aimed to identify the biopsychosocial factors associated with anxiety among a residential aged care sample. A total of 178 residents ( age = 85.4 years, = 7.

The psychometric properties, sensitivity and specificity of the geriatric anxiety inventory, hospital anxiety and depression scale, and rating anxiety in dementia scale in aged care residents.

Objectives: Limited research has been conducted into the identification of a valid and reliable screening measure for anxiety in aged care settings, despite it being one of the most common psychological conditions. This study aimed to determine an appropriate anxiety screening tool for aged care by comparing the reliability and validity of three commonly used measures and identifying specific cut-offs for the identification of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Method: One-hundred and eighty nursing home residents (M age = 85.

The assessment of anxiety in aged care residents: a systematic review of the psychometric properties of commonly used measures.

Unlabelled: ABSTRACTBackground:Assessing anxiety among residential aged care facility (RACF) residents is challenging, and it cannot be assumed that valid and reliable measures used within the community are also appropriate for this setting. This review systematically examined the literature to identify which anxiety measures were most commonly used with older adults in RACFs, and determine whether psychometric data support their use within this population.

Methods: Using the PRISMA guidelines, five electronic databases were searched using key terms and subject headings.

The prevalence, reporting, and treatment of anxiety among older adults in nursing homes and other residential aged care facilities.

Background: Little is known about anxiety in aged care populations, despite its increase in this frail population. This study investigated the prevalence, recording, and treatment rate of anxiety disorders among aged care residents.

Methods: A cross-sectional, observational design was used to assess 180 elderly residents from 12 aged care facilities in Melbourne, Australia.

The correlates of anxiety among older adults in nursing homes and other residential aged care facilities: a systematic review.

Objective: To synthesize and summarize the studies examining the correlates and predictors of anxiety in older adults living in residential aged care.

Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, five electronic databases were searched using key terms and subject headings, as well as reference lists of relevant papers. The search was limited to peer-reviewed literature published in English.

The prevalence of anxiety among older adults in nursing homes and other residential aged care facilities: a systematic review.

Objectives: To synthesize and summarize the studies examining the prevalence rate of anxiety disorders and symptoms in older adults living in residential aged care.

Methods: Using the PRISMA guidelines, five electronic databases were searched using key terms and subject headings, as well as reference lists of relevant papers. The search was limited to literature published in English.

A literature review of spaced-retrieval interventions: a direct memory intervention for people with dementia.

Background: With the increasing prevalence of dementia, there is a pressing need to identify effective interventions that prolong independent functioning. As pharmacological interventions aimed at slowing cognitive decline have been found to have a number of limitations, research has now moved toward studying complementary non-pharmacological cognitive training interventions. This review describes the use of spaced-retrieval as a method to teach new information and reduce behavioral problems in people with dementia.
