Patient acuity in hospital settings continues to increase, and there is greater emphasis on patient outcomes. The current nursing workforce is comprised of four distinct generational cohorts that include veterans, baby boomers, millennials, and generation Xers. Each group has unique characteristics that add complexity to the workforce and this can add challenges to providing optimal patient care. Team building is one strategy to increase mutual understanding, communication, and respect, and thus potentially improve patient outcomes. In this article, we first briefly define generational cohorts by characteristics, and discuss differing expectations for work/life balance and potential negative outcomes. Our discussion offers team building strategies for positive outcomes, a case scenario, and concludes with resources for team building and organizational opportunities.

Background: The Sustainable Personalised Interventions for Cognition, Care, and Engagement (SPICE) program was developed to address an identified gap in access to high-quality integrated post-diagnostic rehabilitation for people with dementia and their care partners in Canberra, Australia. The multicomponent intervention aims to maximise quality of life (QoL) and independence of people with dementia by increasing engagement in everyday and meaningful activities and promoting care partners' physical and mental well-being.
Method: The SPICE program is a waiting-list study design delivered by a multidisciplinary allied health team over twelve weeks.

Background: Increasing calls for diversity in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDesearch have fueled significant investments in recruitment personnel and activities. However, the essential work of identifying and authentically engaging communities of color in relationship-building begins well before, and continues long after, study recruitment activities take place. The purpose of this presentation is twofold: 1) to differentiate the work of trust-building and relationship cultivation from that of research study recruitment, and 2) to describe the necessary steps to ensure that relationship cultivation is ongoing and supported beyond the timeline of a singular research study.

Background: Black/African Americans in the Deep South have been subjected to social segregation, discrimination, and other forms of systematic injustices that continue to negatively impact this population's social determinants of health (SDoH). Healthy People 2030 has outlined a framework describing how adverse SDoH are associated with health inequities including higher rates of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Historically, it has been challenging to recruit citizens from this region to participate in brain aging-related research studies.

Background: Community engagement is a key strategy to promoting health equity. While community advisory boards (CABs) are used as a popular tool for community engagement, the process of forming CABs and maintaining them is mostly missing in the literature. The purpose of this study is to showcase a set of processes our collaborative team went through to form and implement a CAB in the context of dementia literacy and linkage to dementia care research.
