Engagement in civic, social, and community life plays an important role in health, well-being, and quality of life, and requires individuals to be mobile in their environment. In this article, we review what is currently known about 2 areas relevant to safe mobility for older drivers and identify future research in these areas. Using a framework for transportation and safe mobility, 2 key areas were selected for review: the process of transitioning to non-driving and the maintenance of mobility after driving has ceased. This article serves as a companion to another article that used the same approach to explore safe mobility issues for older adults who are still driving. We found that although there has been progress in supporting transitioning process to non-driving and improving mobility options for older adults following driving cessation, many knowledge gaps still exist. We identified several research topics that would benefit from continued scientific inquiry. In addition, several themes emerged from the review, including the need for: multidisciplinary, community-wide solutions; large-scale, longitudinal studies; improved education and training for older adults and the variety of stakeholders involved in older adult transportation; and the need for programs and interventions that are flexible and responsive to individual needs and situational differences.
Involuntary pregnancy loss is a common and often traumatic event for couples. To examine the impact of pregnancy loss on relationship stability, this study examined how perceived incongruent grief (i.e., differences in grief responses as perceived by mothers) influenced relationship outcomes. Thirty-nine women who had experienced an involuntary pregnancy loss participated in an online survey that measured women’s self-reported grief, perceptions of their partner’s grief, and relationship satisfaction and commitment. It was predicted that perceived incongruent grief would be negatively related to satisfaction and commitment, and satisfaction would mediate the association between incongruent grief and commitment. T tests indicated that women perceived that they grieved more intensely than their partners. Regression analyses demonstrated that women’s grief negatively predicted satisfaction. Perceived incongruent grief was also negatively related to satisfaction but not commitment. Considering the impact of perceived incongruent grief on satisfaction, these findings have implications for mental health professionals working with couples following pregnancy loss.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
