Objective: To analyze the knowledge of professionals working in a Nursing Home about the Nursing Process before and after the awareness workshop.
Methods: This is strategic action research, developed with nursing professionals and managers of a Nursing Home in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data were collected between January and June 2023, through semi-structured interviews before and after an awareness workshop. Discursive textual analysis of the data was carried out.
Results: The central category "Understanding about the Nursing Process in Nursing Homes" emerged, which was unitized into two units of meaning and three categories of analysis.
Conclusion: Data revealed non-use and lack of knowledge of the Nursing Process before awareness raising. Afterwards, a deeper understanding of the topic and its importance was identified. Awareness-raising workshops contribute to transformation of knowledge.

Alzheimers Dement

Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: Currently, there is no national consensus on how to identify individuals with probable dementia in community-based settings. With the rapid increase of aging populations-particularly ethnic minorities-there is an urgent need to create a process to effectively identify individuals with probable dementia to adequately plan for dementia care. The aim of this study was to evaluate a dementia screening approach applied to a recent immigrant community, Korean Americans.

Background: The Collaborative Approach for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) Research and Education (CARE) is a recruitment registry that has enrolled over 10,000 AANHPI participants who expressed willingness to participate in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), aging, caregiving, and other health research. We report survey results from 24 of the 28 study principal investigators ("users") who utilized CARE between January 2021 and October 2023 to support their study recruitment.
Method: Users answered five questions on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = Strongly disagree to 3 = Strongly agree) related to (1) user experience, (2) usefulness in accelerating recruitment, (3) improving AANHPI representation, (4) whether they would use the registry again, and (5) whether they would recommend the registry to others.

Background: Older adults in rural areas often face the challenge of managing their health decisions due to limited access to medical services. Cognitive function, particularly the awareness and assessment of one's memory abilities, plays a significant role in the decision-making process. This study investigates the relationship between subjective memory ability and health-related decision-making among older adults in rural areas.

Washington State University, Pullman, WA, USA.
Background: To promote caregiver health and reduce burden, the Savvy Caregiver Program (SCP), an evidence-based caregiving intervention, was adapted with a Native Hawaiian (NH) community in Hawai'i. The adaptation process occurred prior to pilot testing in two phases: 1) the preliminary adaptation by a community action board (CAB) and mentorship team and 2) pre-pilot testing and expert validation with NH adults. The preliminary adaptation, titled 'Auamo Kuleana O Nā Ma'i Poina ('Auamo Kuleana), aimed to include Hawaiian values, language, proverbs, and culturally relevant examples while maintaining the core components of the program.

University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, USA.
Background: There is a growing number of residents living with dementia (RLWD) in long-term care (LTC) settings, but dementia care access and quality are more limited in communities with fewer health resources and these limitations are exacerbated by current dementia care workforce shortages. Low-resource LTC settings, including poorer urban and rural settings, serve older adults who are at high risk for health inequities in dementia care. These settings can experience barriers in providing quality dementia care due to their limited ability to capture pertinent information about residents' needs and preferences and ensuring that information is known by dementia care staff.
