Title : Caregivers for older adults: prevalence characteristics : and health care utilization and expenditures Material Type: printed text Authors: Musich, Shirley, Author ; Wang, Shaohung S., Author ; Kraemer, Sandra, Author ; Hawkins, Kevin, Author ; Wicker, Ellen, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.9-16 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.6 (์Nov-Dec) 2017 [03/05/2018] . - p.9-16Keywords: Caregiver, Older adults, Health care utilization, Health care expenditures Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of caregiver prevalence and characteristics and to estimate the impact of caregiving on health care utilization and expenditures among AARP® Medicare Supplement insureds to inform caregiver intervention strategies. A subgroup with live-in partners was used to investigate the additional effect of live-in health status on caregiver health. Multivariate regression models were utilized to determine caregivers' characteristics and associated impacts on their health care utilization and expenditures. Among respondents (n = 18,928), 14.9% self-identified as caregivers. The strongest characteristics included being younger, healthier, but reporting depression or loneliness. Caregivers of sicker live-ins were female, older and indicated moderate loneliness; caregivers of healthier live-ins were younger, healthier, but reported severe loneliness. Caregivers had significantly lower inpatient admissions and medical and prescription drug expenditures. These results indicated an adverse impact on psychological health associated with caregiving but no evidence of a negative impact on physical health.

Title : The impact of inadequate health literacy on patient satisfaction, healthcare utilization, : and expenditures among older adults Material Type: printed text Authors: MacLeod, Stephnie, Author ; Musich, Shirley, Author ; Gulyas, Stephen, Author ; Cheng, Yan, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.334-341 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Geriatric Nursing > Vol.38 No.4 (Jul-Aug) 2017 [10/09/2017] . - p.334-341Keywords: Health literacy, Older adults, Medicare, Medigap, Medicare supplement, Patient satisfaction Abstract: Inadequate health literacy (HL) is associated with impaired healthcare choices leading to poor quality-of-care. Our primary purpose was to estimate the prevalence of inadequate HL among two populations of AARP® Medicare Supplement insureds: sicker and healthier populations; to identify characteristics of inadequate HL; and to describe the impact on patient satisfaction, preventive services, healthcare utilization, and expenditures. Surveys were mailed to insureds in 10 states. Multivariate regression models were used to identify characteristics and adjust outcomes. Among respondents (N = 7334), 23% and 16% of sicker and healthier insureds, respectively, indicated inadequate HL. Characteristics of inadequate HL included male gender, older age, more comorbidities, and lower education. Inadequate HL was associated with lower patient satisfaction, lower preventive service compliance, higher healthcare utilization and expenditures. Inadequate HL is more common among older adults in poorer health, further compromising their health outcomes; thus they may benefit from expanded educational or additional care coordination interventions.
