Basics of qualitative research: Grounded theory procedures and techniques

Erik Eriksen is a remarkable individual. He has no college degrees yet is Professor of Human Development at Harvard University. He came to psychology via art, which explains why the reader will find him painting contexts and backgrounds rather than stating dull facts and concepts. He has been a training psychoanalyst for many years as well as a perceptive observer of cultural and social settings and their effect on growing up. This is not just a book on childhood. It is a panorama of our society. Anxiety in young children, apathy in American Indians, confusion in veterans of war, and arrogance in young Nazis are scrutinized under the psychoanalytic magnifying glass. The material is well written and devoid of technical jargon. The theme of the volume is that it is human to have a long childhood which will leave a lifelong residue of emotional immaturity in man. Primitive groups and

Abstract Flourishing is an eudaimonic dimension of psychological well-being associated with positive social and health outcomes. Determining correlates of health and well-being is critical for the development of evidence-based best practices, policies, and action plans that target older adults, especially in low- and middle-income countries where research on ageing, health and well-being is still scarce. The study aimed to determine the level of flourishing among older adults in Mongolia and to explore demographic and social factors that contribute to their flourishing in urban and rural areas of Mongolia. We used proportional quota sampling to select a non-probability sample of 304 community-dwelling older adults that reflected the national distribution of older age groups and rural/urban residency. We adapted and administered a widely used standardized questionnaire on flourishing and used multiple regression to establish correlates of flourishing. Study participants reported “very high” levels of flourishing; differences in median scores 53 for urban and 50 for rural older adults were significant.

Sociodemographic predictors of flourishing among older adults in rural and urban Mongolia

Abstract To better understand the dynamics of their health behaviors during the pandemic, we examined older adults’ COVID-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). KAP theory postulates that individuals acquire knowledge about a health condition which influences their attitudes and beliefs and that these, in turn, lead to health practices. We used hierarchical regression to examine the influence of knowledge and attitudes (Step 1) on practices, controlling for health and relevant covariates (Step 2). The Step 1 association between increased knowledge and better practices (B = 0.14, p = .046) became nonsignificant in Step 2. Greater worry about contracting COVID-19 remained significant throughout (Step 2: B = 0.15, p = .043). We further explored subgroup differences within KAP measures via bivariate analyses. For instance, women had significantly higher overall knowledge (p = .013), while men had significantly better overall attitudes (p = .044). We will discuss implications of such subgroup differences for practice and policy interventions.

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward covid-19 among older adults in puerto rico

Abstract This presentation will provide an overview of our study with older adults in Puerto Rico during COVID-19. From January through December, 2021, we conducted telephone and face-to-face interviews with a nonprobability sample of 213 adults aged 60+ in 21 of the island’s 78 municipalities. Average age of participants was 71.9 (SD=8.8), 55.9% were female and 55.4% had annual household incomes under $12,500. About two in five older adults reported feeling lonely (39.4%) and poor/fair health (39.9%). Fully 65.3% were overweight or obese, 59% reported at least one chronic disease (59.4%) and 25.8% had delayed medical care during COVID-19. KAP index scores were reasonably high and 97.2% of participants were either vaccinated or planned to be. We will also discuss the development, translation and adaptation of the data collection instrument and the important social, economic and political backdrops of successful public health measures during the pandemic in Puerto Rico.

Abstract The WHO developed the concept of age-friendly environments that contribute to older adults' better health and well-being. However, research on the effects of age-friendly communities (AFCs) on their health is limited. As AFC initiatives grow, it will be essential to examine whether older adults who live in an AFC have better health than those in other environments. This study uses data from the 2017 AARP AFC Surveys and the AARP Livability Index to assess whether AFCs promote the health of older adults. We analyze data for 3,027 adults aged 65 and older who reside in 262 zip code areas. Following AARP guidelines, we allocated the sample into two groups: the AFC group (livability score of 51+; n=2,364) and the non-AFC group (score≤50, n=663). The outcome variable was self-rated health (M=3.47; SD=1.09; range: 1-5). Findings employing an inverse probability weighting approach showed that older adults who lived in an AFC had better self-rated health than those in a non-AFC (b=0.08, p=.027). Compared to non-Hispanic whites, Black and Hispanic older adults reported worse self-rated health. Oldest old individuals had better health status than young-old adults. Consistent with previous literature, higher education, and frequent social interaction were associated with better self-rated health. The study adds to the growing literature on the role of age-friendly environments in older adults’ health and suggests directions for future research. Since living in an AFC can promote the well-being of older adults, policymakers and practitioners should continue to build high-quality, accessible built and social environments.
