what types of activities increase participation in community salons
Social Science & Medicine, 2019Co-Authors: Keisuke Nakagawa, Ichiro KawachiAbstract:Abstract As part of their national long-term care prevention strategy, Japanese government has promoted “community salons” as a way to encourage social participation among community-dwelling seniors. Previous studies suggested that participation in salon activities can be an effective approach to prevent long-term disability. However, there is wide variation in the types of activities offered through salons. We sought to examine different types of salon-based activities and their relation to participation rates among older populations (age ≥65 years). The association between different types of salon activities (exercise-based, Cognitive Strengthening, dining, socializing, and hobby/recreational activities) and participation rate per population (cumulative number of participants per registered old population in municipalities) was assessed via Poisson regression model. Ecological data were abstracted from the Annual Report on Preventive Long-Term Care Service maintained by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. Salon activities based on hobby/recreational activities were associated with the highest participation rates among the older population (IRR = 1.0029; p

What types of activities increase participation in community "salons"?

Practicing Cognitive Strengthening: Understanding Unhealthy Thinking Patterns (Session 6 of the Treatment Manual)
Culturally Adapting Psychotherapy for Asian Heritage Populations, 2016Co-Authors: Wei-chin HwangAbstract:Session 6 focuses on practicing Cognitive Strengthening and understanding unhealthy thinking patterns. It is followed by Session 7, which focuses on learning effective thinking strategies and consolidating skills development. When working with Asian heritage clients, the emphasis on cognitions is a cultural adaptation and purposefully placed after problem-solving. This important modification was implemented because many clients come into therapy wanting to actively address their problems. Emphasizing changing the way clients think too early in the treatment process can be incongruent with the client’s goals. In fact, during the clinical trial, many clients in the nonadapted Cognitive-behavioral therapy condition stated that their thinking is not the problem, and wanted to focus on changing other people and their life situation—which were perceived as the real problem. After the client has gone through the process of trying to solve their problems, they are more willing to Cognitively reframe and change the way they think.

Practicing Mental Strengthening: Learning Effective Thinking Strategies (Session 7 of the Treatment Manual)
Culturally Adapting Psychotherapy for Asian Heritage Populations, 2016Co-Authors: Wei-chin HwangAbstract:This chapter continues to educate clients on the practice of Cognitive and mental Strengthening by teaching effective thinking strategies. Instead of calling this chapter Cognitive Strengthening, the manual emphasizes the term mental Strengthening, which tends to be more holistic and inclusive of our mind’s total experience. Specifically, mental Strengthening includes not only cognitions, but also the Strengthening of all the emotional and intellectual components of our experiences (eg, feeling, learning, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving). By changing the way we think and focusing on effective ways of thinking, we are able to learn skills and techniques that make our minds stronger, reduce the impact of stress, increase our interpersonal effectiveness, and decrease the likelihood of emotional suffering.

pengaruh advance organizer berbasis proyek terhadap kemampuan analisis sintesis siswa effect of advance organizer based project to student s analysis synthesis skills
2014Co-Authors: S E NugrohoAbstract:This study was conducted to determine the effect of project-based advance organizer model on student’s analysis - synthesis ability of the energy concept. Students were given an assignment to realize the project on simple electric bell, the series – parallel circuit, and lever, before learning. The products of project were used as an advanced organizer in the learning activity. Cognitive Strengthening was done through group discussions and concept mapping, expository learning in the classroom, and laboratory experiments activities. The data were taken through a pretest, post-test, participant observation study by two observers, product assessment, concept maps and report of experiment activities. Results showed that the students’ analysis - synthesis ability increased in the aspect of describing, categorizing, identifying, statement formulating, reconstructing, concept determining, and analyzing the concept. The average increase in delta score was 54.46 %, while the t-test score was of 6.4 and a gain scale of 0.3.

Examination of factor structure of the Cognitive representations of hypertension scale for ethnic equivalence.
Ethnicity & disease, 1999Co-Authors: Margaret Scisney-matlock, Ken W. WatkinsAbstract:The major purpose of this analysis was to examine the factor structure of separate interpretive dimensions of the Cognitive Representation of Hypertension Scales (CRHTN) for ethnic equivalence. The CRHTN is a theoretically derived measurement of individualized experience of hypertension assessed along three Cognitive interpretive dimensions: perceptions, preferences and possibilities. The sample for this study was recruited from a university-based hypertension clinic, a Veterans Administration ambulatory service, and a large urban-based HMO. Analysis of data through confirmatory factor analysis techniques across both samples provided evidence for construct validity of a five-factor model along three dimensions: perceptions, preferences and possibilities. However, multigroup analyses suggest the model may not equally describe Cognitive representations of hypertension for different ethnic groups. Differences in fit of the theoretical model to data from two different ethnic groups is discussed. Findings from this study provide a basis for development of culturally sensitive and appropriate Cognitive Strengthening strategies to influence behavioral outcomes for hypertension management.
