During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Cognitive Health

Background:

  • Screening older adults for memory problems offers significant individual and societal benefits.
  • Four key psychosocial factors predict dementia screening intention: perceived benefits, susceptibility, self-efficacy, and knowledge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test if an educational intervention in community senior centers can modify psychosocial factors influencing dementia screening intention.
  • To assess the impact of an educational presentation on knowledge, perceived benefits, susceptibility, and self-efficacy related to memory screening.

Main Methods:

  • An educational presentation was delivered to 44 older adult participants across three community senior centers.
  • Quantitative data on psychosocial factors were collected pre- and post-intervention, with a 1-2 week follow-up.
  • Hierarchical linear modeling analyzed changes in psychosocial factors, supplemented by qualitative feedback.

Main Results:

  • The educational intervention significantly increased participants' knowledge about aging memory.
  • Participants showed increased perceived benefits of memory screenings and higher self-efficacy in seeking screening.
  • The intervention was positively received by community participants, indicating good satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Community-based educational interventions can effectively enhance psychosocial factors predictive of memory screening intention in older adults.
  • This study provides a refined approach for interventions in senior centers to promote timely memory problem assessments.
