AJA Latest Issue – Volume 41, Issue 2

The September Issue of the Australasian Journal on Ageing for 2022 gathers together articles that provide a comprehensive snapshot of research being conducted in the fields of gerontology and geriatric medicine. An increasing number of these papers are being published Open Access, thanks to innovations such as the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) agreement with the Publishers.

There are three reviews, including one addressing delirium prevention and its role in reducing falls risk. Kennedy and colleagues report on the development of a clinical pathway for managing BPSD symptoms in aged care residents. Gubhaju, Turner and colleagues explore understandings of dementia and lived experiences from carers among community-dwelling Aboriginal people in Western Australia (WA).
