Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Center for Life Ethics, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
Background: Projected Alzheimer's disease (AD) prevalence is expected to fourfold by 2050. With the escalating numbers of individuals affected by neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and AD, associated challenges encompass increased burdens on individuals and families, societal and political implications and economic impacts. Integrating patient and caregiver perspectives is essential to creating comprehensive, patient-centered care models that promote well-being and resilience in the face of degenerative neurological diseases such as AD.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University at Albany, SUNY, Albany, NY, USA.
Background: The experience of spouse caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is marked by witnessing the gradual cognitive decline of their loved ones. This journey transforms the nature of their marital relationship, evolving from mutual interdependence to a more unilateral caregiving role. Despite this significant shift, the specific phenomenon of self-loss among these caregivers remains underexplored in academic research.

BMC Palliat Care
January 2025
School of Medicine, University of Dundee, Dundee, UK.
Background: Discussing Advance Care Planning (ACP) with people living with dementia (PwD) is challenging due to topic sensitivity, fluctuating mental capacity and symptom of forgetfulness. Given communication difficulties, the preferences and expectations expressed in any ACP may reflect family and healthcare professional perspectives rather than the PwD. Starting discussions early in the disease trajectory may avoid this, but many PwD may not be ready at this point for such discussions.

School of Counseling and Counseling Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA.
Research and theory document links between sacrifices and commitment in couples, yet the direction of effects remains unclear. Whereas interdependence theorists suggest that sacrifices help couples to build commitment, other scholars have suggested that being committed leads partners to sacrifice for each other. Nearly all research in this area has focused on men and women in different-gender relationships with each other.

Author Affiliations: School of Nursing, Tianjin Medical University (Mss Qu, Zhang, Jin, Song, and L. Li; and Dr Zhuang); Tianjin Medical University General Hospital (Mrs Shen and Mrs M. Li); Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital (Mrs Yu), China.
Background: Cancer is now recognized as a dyadic stress that seriously impacts the mental and physical well-being of both patients and their spousal caregivers (SCs). Analyzing from a dyadic perspective whether and how dyadic coping and family sense of coherence (FSOC) affect the quality of life (QOL) of couples is crucial.
Objective: To investigate the dyadic association between FSOC, dyadic coping, and QOL in young and middle-aged couples facing advanced lung cancer and to evaluate the mediating role of dyadic coping from a dyadic perspective.
