..The findings emphasize the need to explore time to institutionalization across racial and ethnic contexts, and suggest future variables to consider when analyzing nursing home placement in diverse situations...

..The findings suggest the need for researchers to capture the heterogeneity of caregiver resilience when examining the longitudinal implications of informal long-term care and delivering clinical interventions...

..The present study aimed to generate pooled empirical associations for sociodemographic, functional, cognitive, service use, and informal support indicators that predict nursing home admission among older adults in the U.S...

..The objective of this study was to examine whether employment status and gender was associated with family cancer caregivers' reports of stress and well-being...

..This study attempts to describe caregivers' adaptation (changes in stress, well-being, and psychosocial resources) to placement up to 4 years following institutionalization...

..These empirical results are among the first on predictors of secondary stress in cancer caregiving, and they may inform future descriptive and clinical examinations of the stress process in cancer caregiving families...

..The objective of this systematic review was to identify factors that consistently predict nursing home admission (NHA) in persons with dementia...

....

..These results emphasize the importance of multidimensional assessment in cancer caregiving. The findings also suggest refinements to the stress process model when examining family cancer care...

..Such improvements will provide practitioners with stronger evidence to guide the development, targeting, and timing of clinical interventions...

..The individual contributions of behavior problems to key and related outcomes in dementia, such as nursing home admission (NHA) or caregiver burden, remain unclear...

....

..The results suggest that the Memory Club can fill an important gap in early-stage dementia care by offering care partners the opportunity to plan, prepare, and increase coping skills in the face of early dementia progression...

..Clients were also satisfied with the multi-component LWAH service. The results provide support for the feasibility of a LWAH risk management process that links community-residing older persons with community-based long-term care options...

..It is suggested that with the refinement of the informal long-term care literature, existing policy and practice to support caregiving families can be similarly advanced...

..This study examined the effects of receipt of a normal ovarian cancer screening test result on a range of psychosocial outcomes, including screening-related beliefs and intentions, risk knowledge, distress, and positive affect...

..To determine how unmet needs for activity of daily living tasks influenced nursing home placement, death, or loss to follow-up in dementia...

..The findings emphasize the need to consider family, resident, and staff relationships in concert when designing and implementing nursing interventions to improve quality of life and care in residential settings...

..The results suggest that Internet-based programs such as CARES represent time- and cost-efficient methods to deliver dementia care training in long-term care settings...

..Primary and secondary caregivers did not differ significantly in reports of subjective health. The findings suggest that future research and interventions should be inclusive of primary and secondary caregivers...

....

..The findings point to the dynamic process that defines entry into caregiving and emphasize that how individuals assume caregiving roles have implications long after onset...

..This pilot study randomly selected five nursing homes, five assisted living facilities, and 16 family care homes from a South-Central state in the US to identify correlates of resident psychosocial status...

....

..The findings offer a number of recommendations for future research and practice focused on informal cancer care...

....

..The present study attempts to determine whether utilizing community-based long-term-care services early in the dementia caregiving career delays time to nursing home placement (adjusting for severity of dementia)...

..Throughout this review recommendations are offered to improve these areas and advance the state of the art...

..Practitioners and future researchers may benefit from these findings through the construction and implementation of interventions aimed at effectively enfranchising the grief experiences of this important group of healthcare workers...

..Our objective in this analysis was to determine how the duration of caregiving interacts with key care demands (i.e., severity of problem behaviors) to influence the institutionalization of individuals suffering from dementia...
