“…There are a variety of approaches to shortening the list of items depending on the goals of the research, such as removing events that (1) were highly correlated with other events, (2) had less impact on health outcomes, (3) are believed to be less important to a particular subgroup of nurses (e.g., emergency departments vs. pediatrics), or (4) were less common. Few researchers have applied these methods to shortening formative measures, but an exception is a recent study by Lang et al (), who described a strategy to shorten formative measures based on predictive validity and other item response qualities.…”

Many investigators have reported the stressful aspects of nursing; fewer have focused on nurses' positive work experiences. For this study, we developed a 2 × 2 typology of positive and negative events related to the tasks of nursing work and the social and organizational context of that work: successes, supports, constraints, and conflicts. We hypothesized that positive events would predict engagement, negative events would predict burnout, and negative events would be more strongly related to both burnout and engagement. In secondary analyses of data from 310 acute care nurses who completed survey measures of workplace events at one time point and burnout and engagement measures approximately eight months later, regression results indicated that both positive and negative work events contributed to engagement, whereas only negative events were related to burnout. The results of dominance analyses established that constraints and conflicts more strongly predicted burnout than did supports and successes. Additionally, consistent with a "bad is stronger than good" perspective, the strongest predictor of engagement was lower constraints, although successes, supports, and conflicts also predicted engagement.

“…Background variables are collected only in the baseline survey including age, sex, education, income, marital status, native language, living environment, form of housing, cohabitation status, and informal caring status. Other variables and measurements used in the baseline survey are material deprivation (seven items [ 28 ]), ability to make ends meet, access to services (health and social care, transport, other services), adequacy of social and health care services, access and use of internet and digital devices, environmental and neighbourhood satisfaction, safety and security in home and surrounding environment, ageism, abuse [ 29 ], and access and participation in voting.…”

Background In Finland, the ‘day activity service’ is targeted at older home care clients who are unable to participate in other available activities due to poor health or functional disabilities. The aim of the day activity service is to support home care client’s ability to live at home and to enhance their wellbeing and social inclusion. This mixed method study examines the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and process of the day activity service. Methods The target sample size is 200 participants. The intervention group (n = 100) is composed of home care clients who begin to participate in the day activity service. The comparison group (n = 100) are home care clients who do not participate in the day activity service, and whose functioning and care needs are similar to the participants of the intervention group. The primary outcome is social inclusion (ESIS-scale). Secondary outcomes are loneliness (single item and De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale) and social care related quality of life (ASCOT). Baseline, three-month and six-month follow-up surveys are gathered from intervention and comparison group participants in order to compare outcomes between groups pre- and post-intervention. Costs of health and social services, based on administrative data, and the costs of the intervention are utilized in examining the cost-effectiveness of the intervention with the above-described measurements. Qualitative data are collected by interviewing the intervention participants (n = 10) and professionals working at the day activity centres and older people’s services (4 focus groups) to explore the perceived outcomes and process of the intervention to find out how and why the intervention is effective or ineffective. Discussion The study seeks to produce a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and implementation process of the day activity service. Trial registration ISRCTN13146087, Registration date 03/04/2022.

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Network of the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) have recognized the abuse of older people as a significant global problem (Bennett, Levin & Straka, 2002). Elder abuse has been associated with a number of negative consequences such as reduced quality of life (Lang et al, 2014), negative health outcomes (Fisher, Zink & Regan, 2011), suicidality (Olofsson, Lindqvist & Danielson, 2012), and a greater risk of mortality (Dong et al, 2009). Prevalence rates of elder abuse in the community range from 0.8% to 41.6% (Cooper, Huzzey & Livingston, 2007;De Donder et al, 2011a;De Donder et al, 2013), and an increase in the aging population will result in an increase of older people at risk of elder abuse and maltreatment.…”
