“…In Bandura’s social cognitive theory, individuals derive their sense of self by experiencing personal agency ( Bandura, 1986 ), whereas socioemotional selectivity theory ( Carstensen, 1992 ) places time constraints at the center of older peoples’ focus on emotion-oriented goals driven by activities that maximize positive affect . The copying and adaptation with active aging model ( Salazar-Barajas et al, 2017 ) argues that active aging represents an adaptation strategy to disease-related disability , whereas the ways of coping model ( Tanner, 2007 ) describes valued activities as an important contributor of a sense of “doing well.” Two theories identified specific to dementia were the hierarchical model of needs ( Scholzel-Dorenbos et al, 2010 ) and the stress process model in early dementia ( Hilgeman et al, 2014 ). These theories posit that people with dementia are motivated toward meaning-based coping , whereby acceptance of loss and feelings of continuity support autonomy and adaptation to loss .…”

Background and Objectives Despite the importance of meaningful activity in mild dementia, only limited data are available on the development of interventions supporting people with mild dementia to engage in meaningful activity. In this paper we describe the development of an intervention that responds to this need. Research Design and Methods Intervention Mapping (IM), an evidence-based approach, was used to develop STAYING ACTIVE (STAYing well and active – schedulINg meaninGful and enjoyAble aCTIvities to promote Vitality and wEll-being in mild dementia). The first step, a needs assessment, comprised a literature review, focus groups and individual interviews with service-users. Performance objectives of the intervention were formulated in step two, followed by development of theory-based methods in step three. In step four the new intervention was developed based on data collected in previous steps, existing interventions, and pilot testing. Qualitative data were analyzed using framework analysis. Results The needs assessment indicated that people with dementia and their carers view “staying active” as an important part of ‘enjoying life’. Adapting to loss through compensation and receiving support were key facilitators of engaging in meaningful activity. Ecological, psycho-social, and activity-oriented theories guided the development of theory-based intervention strategies, which were based on awareness, skills and addressing barriers of meaningful activity. Implications STAYING ACTIVE is grounded on theory, and service-user experiences and aims at promoting meaningful activity in mild dementia. The IM framework may be useful in the development of future psychosocial interventions for people with dementia, facilitating transparency when efficacy is evaluated.

“…Active ageing, as a novel and prominent paradigm within ageing studies, offers various analytical approaches (WHO, 2002;Walker, 2009;ILC, 2015;Ramos et al, 2016;Salazar-Barajas et al, 2017), but generally centers the perspective that ageing is a positive and important part of life, contrary to past studies and approaches in which ageing is more associated with death and deterioration (Fernández-Ballesteros et al, 2013).

The work addresses access to Museums as cultural spaces by older adults in Mexico. The access, use, and knowledge they have regarding museums are analyzed. The analysis is carried out by rural or urban origin, travel time, gender, education levels, among other variables. The database used is the Museum Statistics for 2017 published by INEGI in 2018 and the method used consisted of crossing variables. The National Statistical Directory of Economic Units database was accessed to cross-check statistical information with georeferenced points of museums throughout the country. The work adds two different dimensions of study, 1) to the studies of aging and old age, when verifying the mobility, cultural interests and social connectivity of the elderly and, 2) to the studies on museums and cultural spaces, by demonstrating the persistence of access and interest on the part of older adults.
