“…There is a considerable need for new empirical analyses to inform theoretical development on ageing among Aboriginal people. This is notwithstanding important recent research on the contributions, health, wellbeing and care needs of older Aboriginal people [6][7][8][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Objective: Examine the prevalence and context of racism self-reported by older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.Methods: The 2015 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Survey was used to measure the prevalence, contexts and demographic differences in reports of racism.Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association of age with racism in later life.Results: A sizeable minority of older Aboriginal people reported experiences of unfair treatment (31%) and avoidance (15%), oftentimes occurring in contexts critical to human capital investments. Specific demographic groups, including those with higher levels of education were more likely to report experiences of unfair treatment. The prevalence of unfair treatment and avoidance remains relatively high in later life course (albeit it lower than younger ages), with a significant reduction from age 65. Conclusion:Addressing racism, particularly in contexts crucial to human capital is important for the health and wellbeing of older Aboriginal people.

“…While some studies have documented poor physical and psychological health in caregivers [ 3 , 15 ], there is evidence that caregivers also experience high satisfaction and positive returns from caregiving [ 16 ]. This disparity between observations across studies may be explained by other factors that could influence caregiver outcomes, such as resilience [ 17 , 18 ] and social support [ 19 , 20 ].…”

BackgroundThe burden of caring for an older adult can be a form of stress and influence caregivers’ daily lives and health. Previous studies have reported that resilience and social support play an important role in reducing physical and psychological burden in caregivers. Thus, the present study aimed to examine whether perceived social support served as a possible protective factor of burden among caregivers of older adults in Singapore using moderation and mediation effects’ models.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with 285 caregivers providing care to older adults aged 60 years and above who were diagnosed with physical and/or mental illness in Singapore. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to measure resilience and burden was measured by the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was used to measure perceived social support. Hayes’ PROCESS macro was used to test moderation and mediation effects of perceived social support in the relationship between resilience and burden after controlling for sociodemographic variables. Indirect effects were tested using bootstrapped confidence intervals (CI).ResultsThe mean scores observed were CD-RISC: 70.8/100 (SD = 15.1), MSPSS: 62.2/84 (SD = 12.2), and ZBI: 23.2/88 (SD = 16.0) respectively. While perceived social support served as a full mediator between resilience and caregiver burden (β = − 0.14, 95% CI -0.224 to − 0.072, p < 0.05), it did not show a significant moderating effect.ConclusionsPerceived social support mediates the association between resilience and caregiver burden among caregivers of older adults in Singapore. It is crucial for healthcare professionals, particularly those who interact and deliver services to assist caregivers, to promote and identify supportive family and friends’ network that may help to address caregiver burden.
