Article Abstract

This study cross-sectionally examined associations between older adults' aging attitudes and subjective cognitive decline as well as moderating effects of current positive affect and depressive symptoms. Data were collected via an online survey among U.S. adults 65+ ( 339, 55.5% female, = 71.7, SD ± 4.78) with no self-reported diagnosis of dementia. SCD was measured with the Everyday Cognition scale; attitudes to physical change, psychological growth, and psychosocial loss in aging were measured with the Attitudes to Aging Questionnaire. A Poisson regression analysis showed that overall aging attitudes, attitudes to physical change, and psychosocial loss were associated with SCD, but attitudes to psychosocial growth were not. More positive attitudes to physical change were associated with lower SCD; more negative attitudes to psychosocial loss were associated with higher SCD. The association between more positive attitudes to physical change in aging and lower SCD was accentuated with lower current positive mood and higher current depressive symptoms.

Mapping Perceived Impact, Facilitators and Barriers of Cystic Fibrosis Management in Children and Adolescents: A Qualitative Study From the Parents' Perspective.

Scand J Caring Sci

September 2025

Background: Cystic fibrosis imposes a significant treatment burden on children and their informal caregivers, who have to change their routines to carefully adhere to medication and exercise as treatment regimes. Although informal caregivers are known to be key players in the daily management of these children, their own voice is scarcely explored, often hindering personalisation of care. The main objective of the study was to map the multifactorial impact of cystic fibrosis, as well as identify barriers and facilitators perceived by parental caregivers in managing the disease in the paediatric age.

Young adults use a combination of coping strategies to deal with challenges. Yet, limited research has focused on these combinations, as they differ across different profiles of youth and their implications during the major life transitions of emerging adulthood. Addressing this gap, the present longitudinal person-centered study assesses the nature, stability, predictors (stressful life events, sex), and outcomes (affect, attitude toward life, physical symptoms) of coping profiles during this period.
