Abstract:
ABSTRACTTo understand the impact of ongoing reform of mental health and dementia care in Ontario, an examination of prevalence and health services utilization rates is needed. However, there exists a gap in current prevalence and health services research specific to dementia care in Ontario. The objective of this study was to address these concerns using linked administrative databases to determine the incremental use of health services by elderly Ontarians with dementia. Overall, study results demonstrated that individuals with dementia used services in a pattern similar to non-demented persons, albeit at a higher level. Exceptions were women's use of hospital and home care services, where the most elderly women received significantly fewer services. Thus, the study provided important insight regarding the relative levels of health services used by demented Ontarians. Research in this area will become increasingly important as the population ages and the settings integral to dementia care and management shift and evolve.

Abstract:
Since the person-centred care revolution, social psychological factors that contribute to the cognitive decline have been recognised. Increasingly, having an understanding of the person with dementia’s experience is now seen as an important element of care. One approach that has been neglected in the research is whether the person-centred care revolution has resulted in a change in attitudes from the service providers. This research investigated the attitudes of service users and service providers towards dementia services using an interpretive phenomenological analysis. The analysis suggests that service user themes included personal understanding of the illness, staff members, nature of support and limitations to services. Service provider themes focused on appropriate staff members, approach to dementia, personalisation, support and constraints to provision. The discussion outlines the similarities in the themes, practical implications, limitations and the direction of future research.

Abstract:
Background and Objectives Young onset dementias (young onset dementia) produce a myriad of stressors for persons with young onset dementia and their caregivers, yet there is a critical shortage of supportive services that address their needs. To develop such services, it is necessary to first comprehensively understand persons’ with young onset dementia and their caregivers’ service preferences. Therefore, we conducted a meta-synthesis to integrate and summarize qualitative data on persons’ with young onset dementia and caregivers’ preferences for supportive services for young onset dementia, defined as support provided by medical providers, psychosocial interventions, and any other resources/services provided to promote positive adjustment in persons with young onset dementia and their caregivers. Research Design and Methods We searched five electronic databases for qualitative articles from inception to January 2020. We extracted and synthesized data from eligible articles using thematic analysis. After removal of duplicates, we screened 219 articles identified through database and hand searches. Findings Forty-three studies met our inclusion criteria. We extracted findings from these 43 studies on preferences within three a priori defined domains: 1) general characteristics of supportive services, 2) format and modality of supportive services, and 3) content for supportive services. Persons with young onset dementia and caregivers predominantly expressed common preferences, with some unique preferences based on their specific roles within the partnership. Discussion and Implications Persons with young onset dementia and their caregivers endorsed largely overlapping preferences, including having direct contact with providers and the ability to participate together in programs that have content and skills relevant to their specific needs and challenges. Findings can directly inform the format, content, and procedures of supportive services for persons with young onset dementia and their caregivers.

Abstract:
Treatment of dementia costs billions of dollars in long-term care and community services every year. Dementia also burdens the acute care system and may contribute to financial problems for hospitals serving large numbers of demented elderly. In a specialized geriatric medical unit devoted to acute care of the frail elderly, Alzheimer's disease and vascular and mixed dementias afflicted 63% of inpatients and were associated with excess consumption of nursing resources, complications of treatment, nosocomial infections, lengthy hospitalizations, and financial losses to the hospital. Due in part to the effects of dementia on mobility, continence, and nutrition, demented patients suffered more frequently from life-threatening infections, sepsis, iatrogenic disease, and prolonged hospital stays. Hospital losses were 75% higher for demented patients than for nondemented patients.Dementia affected the majority of acute care patients in this study. However, it was rarely coded as an admitting diagnosis, even though it may have been the proximate cause of the medical morbidity which led to the acute hospitalization. In addition, despite the significant impact of dementia on the hospital course and costs, it was a factor in hospital reimbursement in less than one third of cases. The results indicate that dementia was not considered to be an acute diagnosis, nor was it recognized as a complex medical illness. The impact of dementia on acute hospitalization, including the mechanisms by which dementia prolongs the hospital stay, requires further investigation.

Abstract:
Abstract Adult day services centers (ADSC) are a source of community-based care for persons with Alzheimer’s disease/other dementias. This study compares dementia specialized ADSCs (DSADSC) and their participants to other ADSCs that do not specialize in dementia care using the 2016-2018 National Study of Long-term Care Providers. DSADSCs account for 10% of all ADSCs and serve 15% of all ADSC participants with dementia. About half of DSADSC participants have dementia, compared to 30% in other ADSCs. A higher percentage of DSADSCs, compared to other ADSCs, were in the Midwest, were nonprofit, had a social model, and employed nursing aides. Fewer DSADSCs, compared to other ADSCs, provided nursing, mental health, and transportation services. More DSADSC participants were 75 years of age or older and needed assistance with eating and toileting. Findings may help identify how ADSCs, particularly, DSADSCs, meet the unique care needs of older adults with dementia.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents a case-based qualitative evaluation of a community-based memory service for people with dementia and carers, informed by an advisory group including people with dementia and carers. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of critical and narrative gerontology, interviews with service users, carers and community mental health team staff generated rich accounts of experiences of using and delivering the memory service. Data from people with dementia and carers were analysed thematically and built on work by Willis et al. (2009) to generate quality indicators for dementia care. Analysis of data from CMHT staff drew on a framework of collective leadership devised for use in the NHS by the Center for Creative Leadership and The King's Fund (2014a). Findings reveal rich insights into: i) the everyday challenges faced by people with dementia and carers, ii) the positive contributions they can bring to the evaluation and development of services for people with dementia and carers and iii) the important role of collective leadership in the provision of high quality services for people with dementia. The thesis extends the current knowledge base relating to people with dementia and carers by developing particular understandings of how they can contribute to the evaluation and development of memory services.

Abstract:
Section A is a review of literature which has explored the experience of dementia in the context of couple relationships. Four key themes thought to be central to this experience were identified and highlight the impact of dementia upon couple relationships, and how aspects of relationships may influence the experience of dementia. Limitations and gaps in our understanding are highlighted. Most significantly, the existent literature focuses upon care partners’ perceptions and excludes people with dementia. Therefore, it is argued that a relational understanding of the experience of dementia, in the context of couple relationships, remains unknown. The review concludes with a rationale for why further research is needed and how people with dementia could be included. Section B describes a qualitative study, using interpretative phenomenological analysis, to investigate couples’ experiences of dementia. Seven couples were interviewed and five master themes (‘foundations’, ‘altered structures’, ‘self-restoration’, ‘flexible scaffolding’ and ‘reflective capacity’) emerged from analysis of the data. These themes offer an understanding of the experience of dementia from a relational perspective and depict the ways in which couples construct their experience in order to make sense of dementia, and the processes that they adopt in order to adjust to dementia. The findings of this study are supported by existing empirical and theoretical literature and have implications for future research and clinical practice.

Abstract:
Younger People with Dementia (YPwD) are those who receive a diagnosis of dementia under the age of 65. In Scotland the number of people with dementia who meet this definition is approximately 3200 (Alzheimer Scotland, 2017). The purpose of this study was to explore the human experience of living with dementia at a younger age and to consider interpretations of well-being as defined by the subjective experience of the participants. At the start of this study there was limited quality research available which explored the lives and experiences of YPwD. At that time there was some recognition within professional groups and practitioners that YPwD would benefit from age appropriate services. This study used an Interpretive Phenomenological design to explore the experiences of YPwD and used in-depth qualitative interviews with eight people who were diagnosed with dementia under the age of 65, to capture their journey through pre-diagnosis, diagnosis and beyond. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was utilised for the primary analysis. A secondary analysis was then conducted with the initial findings using Self-determination Theory, Basic Psychological Needs Theory, autonomy, competence and relatedness to identify areas of well-being. The study identified four superordinate themes situated within a four phase transition pathway, which identified how a diagnosis of dementia impacted on the person and the process they underwent following diagnosis. These are:pre-diagnosis phase, living in a changing world, awareness of the changing self, discombobulation; diagnostic phase, anger and relief, the fragmented self, consideration; post diagnostic phase, the challenge of learning to livewith dementia as a younger person, the evolving self, assimilation; and the phase living well beyond dementia, consolidated self, consolidation. The study highlighted that while having a diagnosis of dementia at a younger age is a challenging and devastating experience, it is possible to live a good and productive life beyond the diagnosis of dementia. The secondary analysis using Self-determination Theory, Basic Psychological Needs Theory identified that where the basic psychological needs were supported, this enabled participants to embrace their lives living with and beyond dementia with improved wellbeing. The findings suggest that the basic psychological needs were thwarted in the pre-diagnostic phase and during and immediately after diagnosis, creating feelings of ill-being. The study acknowledges the strong sense of identity around the younger person with dementia and suggests that this group perceive their dementia, and the support they need to live with the condition to be a different experience to that of older people. The ability of a number of the participants to live an active life within a supported community cannot be underestimated, and suggests that this area of care and support needs to be evaluated in light of the changing needs of people living with dementia, particularly those who are diagnosed at such an early part of their lifecycle.

Full text
Abstract:
Background issue: Reduced opportunities for occupational participation by adults with dementia impact their quality of life and wellbeing. It also affects the health and wellbeing of carers with whom they live. Adult day services were identified as possibly providing opportunities for meaningful activity engagement. However, there is a paucity of research on the occupational participation needs of individuals with early stage dementia who use adult day services and their carers. Aim and significance: This study aimed to identify the occupational participation (engagement in everyday activities that are individually meaningful) experiences of people with early stage dementia and their primary carers, whilst in the home, and during adult day service attendance. Furthermore, this study explored how carers ’perceptions on any impact the adult day service attendance had upon the persons with early stage dementia. An important inclusion was the perspectives of people with dementia and recognition of the contribution they can make to research. Lastly, understanding how the occupational participation experiences of these two groups are affected by adult day service utilisation provided insights on how adult day services and related policies can enhance the health and wellbeing of people with early stage dementia and their carers. Understanding how changes in habits, roles and routines affect occupational participation experiences of these two populations in the home, and during adult day service attendance is fundamental to enabling successful ageing-in-place. Method: Qualitative research methods were selected as the most suitable and trustworthy approach to investigate the lived experiences and perceptions of vulnerable individuals with early stage dementia and their carers. Issues such as rigour and of transferability were addressed throughout the collection and interpretation of data. A semi-structured interview schedule was developed, drawing on the concepts in the Model of Human Occupation. A pilot study was conducted to pre-test the interview schedule and some adjustments were made. The final schedule was used in interviews conducted jointly with participants with dementia and their carers and individually, face-to-face with the primary carers. Interviews were conducted in a location of their choice, digitally (audio) recorded and transcribed verbatim. Field notes and an audit trail of procedures were maintained throughout. Recruitment: A purposive sample of 30 participants, comprising 15 community-dwelling individuals with early stage dementia and their carers (15), were recruited. Materials: Semi-structured joint and individual interviews, modelled on the theoretical framework of the Model of Human Occupation, were used with each of the 30 participants Ethics: Approval by the Edith Cowan University Human Research Ethics Committee was given. Research did not proceed prior to approval. Analysis: Analysis of the narrative data proceeded through an iterative approach that distilled data into themes. Findings: Findings from this study revealed that occupational participation that is, engaging in meaningful activities, during adult day service attendance positively impacts attendees by enhancing their sense of mastery, purpose and validation, and relieves their boredom. Attendees’ experiences were further enhanced by newly formed friendships with peers with whom they felt comfortable, understood and therefore safe. Carers perceived the benefits of adult day service attendance for attendees as providing opportunities for socialisation and that the co-operation social and built adult day service environment promoted attendee’s occupational participation. Whilst carers welcomed the respite adult day service attendance brings, they had to weigh the stressors of preparing their attendee for adult day service attendance against the benefits of respite time. An integrated model of service delivery and support for people with dementia, their primary carers and adult day services is proposed. Conclusion: Adult day services provide opportunities that encourage occupational participation and this contributes to enhanced wellbeing for people with early stage dementia. Recommendations for future research are given, and inter alia include a closer working nexus between the service recipients, service providers and policy makers. Research outcomes may inform recommendations for future programming in community-based adult day services.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to explore potential demand for social care services offered by social farming in Latvia by studying the experience of families caring for family members with dementia. Social farming is both a new and a traditional concept. It originates from the traditional rural self-help networks that were well established in rural areas before the modernisation of agriculture and the rise of the public welfare system. Social agriculture covers at least three dynamic areas of society – rural development, social entrepreneurship and the growing demand for social care services, and it is closely linked to the concept of multifunctional agriculture. As a form of social entrepreneurship, social farming could create the opportunity to reconnect farmers with their local communities through the opening of their farms as part of the social support system of the community. Caring for people with dementia is a particular challenge. Currently in Latvia, families where one of the family members has dementia have only two options - to place their relatives in a care institution or to take care of them in the family. Foreign experience shows that social care farms can provide care services to people with early dementia. This paper, exploring demand for these services in Latvia, is based on the case study of families caring for persons with dementia in Rūjiena municipality in April 2020.

Background: The participation of health service users in satisfaction studies has provided important indicators of service quality. Objectives: To identify and analyze the perception of people with dementia about their experiences in a multidisciplinary Day Center health service. Method: A qualitative descriptive study carried out through the application of a semi-structured interviews to 17 patients with mild to moderate dementia. The data analysis was performed using the Framework method. Results: We identified two main themes: the experience and reasons to attend the Day Center and participants’perceptions of the service. The second theme was divided into six sub-themes: the Day Center as a treatment space, an occupation, a socialization space, a welcoming space, the trust in the team, and suggestions and satisfaction with the service. Participants reported confidence in the treatment provided and in the team. They considered being at the Day Center important to their physical and psychological health. The main reasons were being able to leave the house and get busy, the possibility of socializing and the feeling of happiness generated by being at the Day Center. They also demonstrated satisfaction with the service in general. Conclusion: Individuals with mild cognitive impairment and mild and moderate dementia may provide feasible and reliable information about health services provided.

Abstract:
Abstract Artificial Intelligence is driving a revolution in the most diverse domains of computational services and user interaction. Data collected in large quantities is becoming useful for feeding intelligent systems that analyse, learn and provide insights and help decision support systems. Machine learning and the usage of algorithms are of most importance to extract features, reason over collected data so it becomes useful and preventive, exposing discoveries augmenting knowledge about systems and processes. Human driven applications, as those related with physiological assessment and user experience, are possible especially in the health domain and especially in supporting patients and the community. The work hereby described refers to different aspects where the Artificial Intelligence can help citizens and wraps a series devices and services that where developed and tested for the benefit of a special kind of citizens. The target population are those under some kind of Dementia, but the proposed solutions are also applicable to other elder citizens or even children that need to be assisted and prevented from risks.
