Aim: There have been few studies done looking at the relationship between resilience, Type D personality, and self-care behavior in patients with heart failure. The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between Type D personality and self-care behavior in patients with heart failure.
Methods: The subjects consisted of a sample of 90 heart failure patients aged ≥20 years who visited the cardiology outpatient clinic in the Chungbuk area of South Korea.
Results: Among 90 patients, 49 subjects (54.0%) were classified as Type D personality, who exhibited statistically significant differences in resilience and self-care behavior (p < .001). A statistically significant correlation was also observed between self-care behavior score and resilience score (p < .01). The resilience had full mediation effects on the relationship between Type D personality and self-care behavior. In other words, the higher their resilience, the better their self-care behavior.
Conclusions: The study showed that resilience and Type D personality have important effects on self-care behavior.

Background: Acculturation is a relevant variable in the assessment of dementia. Little is known about the type of acculturation scales and the frequency in which they are used in dementia research among Latinos/Hispanics in the US. The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic review of published studies that investigated the use of acculturation measures toward Latinos and Hispanics who are diagnosed with dementia.

Background: With the changing care landscape for early Alzheimer's disease (AD), optimizing the diagnostic and management process is key. This study assessed the correlation between patient and physician characteristics and outcomes related to the diagnosis, referral, and treatment process for early AD in community-based settings.
Method: This cross-sectional study conducted between August and September 2023 abstracted medical chart data for patients aged 50-89 years who were diagnosed with early AD (mild cognitive impairment [MCI] or mild AD) within the past 2 years and had a clinic visit within the past year.

Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe City, Japan.
Background: In Japan, the number of patients with dementia is increasing and there is a shortage of human resources who can conduct detailed psychological examinations, and the development and implementation of new tools is essential for improving dementia care. Japan is one of seven sites across the globe focusing on healthcare system preparedness as part of the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative Early Detection flagship program. As part of this program, Japan implemented new tools including a digital cognitive assessment (DCA) and blood-based biomarker (BBM) to increase rates of early detection of cognitive impairment.
