Emotion regulation in older nursing home residents with and without depression and younger comparison samples.

Objectives: We aimed to increase the understanding of emotion regulation (ER) and depression in older residents.

Methods: A sample of depressed and non-depressed nursing home residents (N = 164, M = 82.63) were compared to younger patients with depression (N = 163, M = 37.

Compliance with CBT referral in nursing home residents diagnosed with depression: Results from a feasibility study.

Objectives: Patient-level factors that influence compliance with a recommendation for CBT in nursing home residents diagnosed with depression were identified.

Methods: Within a cluster-randomized trial on stepped care for depression in nursing homes (DAVOS-study, Trial registration: DRKS00015686), participants received an intake interview administered by a licensed psychotherapist. If psychotherapy was required, patients were offered a referral for CBT.

Effectiveness of exercise interventions to improve long-term outcomes in people living with mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Although exercise guidelines now recommend exercise for patients with MCI, the long-term effects of exercise in patients with MCI has not been reviewed systematically. The aim was to assess (1) the effectiveness of exercise and physical activity (EXPA) interventions in improving long-term patient-relevant cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes in people with mild cognitive impairment, (2) how well the included trials reported details of the intervention, and (3) the extent to which reported endpoints were in line with patient preferences that were assessed in patient workshops. Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis including randomized controlled trials.

[Non-pharmacological Therapies of Dementia - an Update].

Non-pharmacological Therapies of Dementia - an Update Non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia are intended to improve quality of life and well-being, alleviate psychopathological and behavioral symptoms, and also offer caregivers support and opportunities to promote resilience. Against the background of the multiple failures in the field of pharmacological-therapeutic research, these approaches have become increasingly important. This is an up-to-date overview of the most important non-drug interventions for people with dementia and related recommendations for therapeutic use according to the current state of research and the recommendations of AWMF S3 guideline "dementia".

[Non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia].

Background: Non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia are intended to improve quality of life and well-being, alleviate psychopathological and behavioral symptoms, and also offer caregivers support and opportunities to promote resilience. Against the background of the multiple failures in the field of pharmacological-therapeutic research, these approaches have become increasingly important.

Objective: An up-to-date overview of the most important non-drug interventions for people with dementia and related recommendations for therapeutic use.

Effectiveness of exercise and physical activity interventions to improve long-term patient-relevant cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes in people living with mild cognitive impairment: a protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical syndrome characterised by persistent cognitive deficits that do not yet fulfil the criteria of dementia. Delaying the onset of dementia using secondary preventive measures such as physical activity and exercise can be a safe way of reducing the risk of further cognitive decline and maintaining independence and improving quality of life. The aim is to systematically review the literature to assess the effectiveness of physical activity and exercise interventions to improve long-term patient-relevant cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes in people living with MCI, including meta-analyses if applicable.

General practitioners' communication on complementary and integrative medicine for cancer patients: Findings from an analysis of consultations with standardised patients.

Objective: Our aim was to explore whether general practitioners (GPs) communicate with cancer patients on complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) in a patient-centred and case-specific manner.

Methods: We designed two cases of standardised breast cancer patients and allocated 29 GPs to hold a consultation either with Case 1 or Case 2. Case 1 presented with fears of possible physical side effects of hormone treatment.

[Non-pharmacological interventions in dementia: an overview with special consideration of digital offerings].

Non-pharmacological interventions such as cognitive therapy, physical activity, and creative art approaches are important components of appropriate care for persons with dementia and their relatives. Although relationships and interpersonal interactions undoubtedly play an important role in all these activities, digital technologies have increasingly established themselves in this area in recent years. The following article describes non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia (based on the German ), and additionally provides examples of selected digital approaches for this particular target group.

Depression in the nursing home: a cluster-randomized stepped-wedge study to probe the effectiveness of a novel case management approach to improve treatment (the DAVOS project).

Background: Depression is the second most common psychiatric illness in old people. Up to 30% of nursing home residents have minor or major depression. Although depressive disorders in old age can be improved and even cured with adequate therapy, they often go unnoticed in nursing home residents and remain untreated.

Art museum-based intervention to promote emotional well-being and improve quality of life in people with dementia: The ARTEMIS project.

ARTEMIS (ART Encounters: Museum Intervention Study) is an art-based intervention designed especially for people with dementia and their care partners that involves a combination of museum visits and artistic activity. This paper reports the results of a randomized wait-list controlled study on the influence of the ARTEMIS intervention on the emotional state, well-being, and quality of life of dementia patients. People with mild-to-moderate dementia (n = 44) and their care partners (n = 44) visited the Frankfurt Städel Museum once a week on six pre-arranged occasions.

Colorectal cancer stage at diagnosis in migrants versus non-migrants (KoMigra): study protocol of a cross-sectional study in Germany.

Background: In Germany, about 20% of the total population have a migration background. Differences exist between migrants and non-migrants in terms of health care access and utilisation. Colorectal cancer is the second most common malignant tumour in Germany, and incidence, staging and survival chances depend, amongst other things, on ethnicity and lifestyle.
