Objectives: This study aimed to identify the key elements and develop a formation mechanism model of quality geriatric care behavior for nursing assistants.
Methods: This qualitative research employed the strategy of grounded theory proposed by Strauss and Corbin. Furthermore, the data was collected by participatory observation and semi-structured interviews. A total of 12 nursing managers, 63 nursing assistants, and 36 older people from 9 nursing homes in 6 cities were interviewed, whereas for the observatory survey, participants were recruited from 2 nursing homes.
Results: The comparative and analysis process revealed 5 key elements of quality geriatric care behavior, including holistic care, personalized care, respect, positive interaction, and empowerment. Based on the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) model, key elements and the 3 stages of quality geriatric care behavior (negative behavior cognition stage, practice exchange run-in stage, and positive behavior reinforcement stage), the theoretical framework of the formation mechanism was established.
Conclusion: The results indicated that nursing assistants' capabilities, motivation, and organizational and environmental support are vital for quality care behaviors. The theoretical framework established in this study provides theoretical support and practical reference to policymakers, institutional administrators, and healthcare professionals for improving nursing assistant's care behaviors.

Background: Positive findings from testing therapeutics in AD animal models are often not translated to effective treatments due to the poor methodological rigor and inadequate reporting practices of therapeutic efficacy studies. The Alzheimer's Disease Preclinical Efficacy Database (AlzPED), developed by the NIA, is a searchable and publicly available knowledgebase that prioritizes and promotes the use of rigorous methodology to ameliorate this translation gap. Through a checklist of experimental design elements - the Rigor Report Card - AlzPED highlights reporting recommendations and standards while providing a practical tool to help plan rigorous therapeutic studies in animals.

Background: Global epidemiological studies involving over nine million participants have shown a 35% lower incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in older cancer survivors compared to those without a history of cancer. This inverse relationship, consistent across recent studies with methodological controls, suggests that cancer itself, rather than cancer treatments, may offer protective factors against AD. This insight opens avenues for novel therapeutic strategies targeting early AD by harnessing cancer-associated protective factors.

Optimization of anti-amyloid therapy (timing and duration of intervention, modality, combinations, biomarker guidance) is limited by incomplete understanding of the disease, such as relationship between amyloid and tau pathways. Mechanistic Alzheimer's progression modeling investigated how amyloid and tau pathologies are connected in driving progression.

Background: As part of the pilot Comprehensive REsilience-building psychoSocial intervenTion (CREST) for people with mild to moderate dementia living in the community, a carer education program was developed. The aim of the program was to develop carers' knowledge and skills regarding dementia to enable them to respond more confidently to the needs of the person with dementia, provide them with 'me time', with an opportunity to focus on their own health needs, meet other carers, and share experiences. This study explores the carers' experience of the program, which consisted of six weekly, 2-hour sessions with each week covering a different topic.

There are many types of Dementia-Friendly Communities (DFCs), and communities define and implement them in different ways. Toolkits from the World Health Organisation and Dementia Friendly America have defined specific goals for DFCs, and in 2013, Alzheimer's Society created a national recognition programme for UK DFCs to respond to the diversity of interpretations. Key elements of the programme included People (awareness and training), Process (support and signposting) and Place (physical support and community).
