Background: There has been an increase in people with disabilities who require continuous care, which often falls to informal carers (ICs). Stroke is one of the conditions where ICs are most needed. Therefore, it necessary for improve their caregiving skills and self-care capacity. Telehealth (TH) can facilitate them.

Resilience research has long sought to understand how factors at the child, family, school, community, and societal levels shape adaptation in face of adversities such as poverty war. In this article we reflect on three themes that may prove be useful for future resilience research. First is idea mental physical health can sometimes diverge, even response same social process. A better understanding explanations divergence will have both theoretical public implications when it comes efforts promote resilience. Second more recent models stress suggest accelerate aging. Thus, need also consider strategies developed an accelerated fashion effective. Third, if psychological interventions conducted conjunction with enact system-level changes targeted adversities, synergize impact any single intervention have, creating a coordinated effective set approaches promoting young people who confront adversity life.

Marital quality shares ties to inflammatory conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. For decades, research has focused on marital conflict as a primary mechanism given its potential trigger responses. However, longitudinal evidence suggests that declines over time, little attention been paid the aftermath of other types exchanges. A spouse's emotional distress is an important but overlooked context, partners are exposed each other's upsetting emotions throughout adulthood. To directly compare reactivity in proinflammatory gene expression these two stressors examine differences by age satisfaction, 203 community adults ages 25–91 (N = 102 couples) provided blood samples rated their negative mood before after they 1) watched partner relive personal memory and, separate visit 1–2 weeks later, 2) discussed conflictual topic relationship. Controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, alcohol use, smoking, comorbidities, increases were significantly larger partner's disclosure than (B 0.073, SE 0.031, p .018).

Dr. Janice Kiecolt-Glaser has had enormous impact on understanding immune and health risks for stressed burdened caregivers of a family member living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia (ADRD). Her scientific educational influence continues through the generativity to which she was committed during her career, mentoring multiple graduate postdoctoral mentees over many years. This celebratory essay serves underscore pearls wisdom offered by that influenced this former mentees' career choices. The purpose is two-fold. First, pass along "pearls wisdom" imparted may be useful burgeoning scientists, especially those in psychoneuro-immunology -endocrinology, who have not been exposed these pearls. Second, provide mentors, uncertain about their own generative influence, an exemplar power endurance wise advice.

Caregivers of persons with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) neglect their health, including by ignoring stress levels. African American women are vulnerable susceptible to hypertension. Chronic caregiving hypertension place them at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Addressing reactivity or resilience is vital in lessening stress, enhancing quality life (QOL), fostering healthy blood pressure (BP) self-care behaviors. This pilot study aims investigate the feasibility acceptability implementing Mindfulness Motion (MIM) plus Dietary Approaches Stop Hypertension (DASH) intervention this population evaluate its effect on ADRD caregivers' QOL. Additionally, it explores mediation between interventions A small randomized controlled trial will recruit 28 Black female caregivers aged 40 years diagnosed an antihypertensive medication. Participants be randomly assigned either MIM DASH Alzheimer's Association caregiver training group (attention control). Trained facilitators deliver both over 8 weeks through 1-hour, group, internet-based sessions, via video telephone.
