Full textAlthough the population of adults age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias is growing exponentially, many dental professionals are not adequately prepared to work with these special needs patients in the clinical setting. The purpose of this project was to develop a training for dental professionals including basics about dementia, and communication and behavioral management. Personal oral hygiene, often lacking in a person with dementia, contributes to periodontal inflammation and oral infection that may be linked to potentially, life-threatening diseases, including cardiovascular disease, and aspiration pneumonia. This could result in poor quality of life, and hospital or nursing home admission. The training will help dental professionals to better provide preventive or maintenance dental care or assist in providing care. The training will meet a portion of the continuing education biennial course requirements and course provider requirements for license renewal of dental professionals in California. The training was presented to dental professionals. Their feedback, as well as suggestions from an expert panel, informed revisions to the training, such as increasing the length of the training and including “brain breaks” in the presentation.

Full textBackground: Dementia is a chronic, irreversible condition that currently affects millions of Americans. With increasing life expectancies and an aging population, it is predicted that this number will triple within the next fifty years, possibly affecting 16 million Americans by 2050. The majority of care for these patients is provided by informal caregivers, usually their spouses or children. However, studies have shown that most informal caregivers feel they need more information about the disorder and the services available to help them, as well as on how to effectively care for their family member. Caring for a dementia patient is more stressful and burdensome than caring for someone who is solely physically impaired. Dementia caregivers experience higher rates of anxiety and depression, less time for personal activities, and greater difficulties maintaining jobs. Thus, interventions that provide caregivers with support and train them to properly care for dementia patients can be beneficial for both the patients and their families by reducing the adverse effects caregiving has on the caregiver’s mental and physical health while also improving the patient’s quality of care. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Dementia Care Coordination intervention on dementia patients and their caregivers. This study will determine whether the intervention improves the qualities of life of patients and caregivers, lowering their depression and hospitalization rates while also reducing caregivers’ levels of burden, distress, and anxiety.

Full textBehavioral complications, such as Inappropriate Sexual Behavior (ISB), are developed in many cases of dementia. Sex, even for those with dementia, is a primary need, but supporting this need in an appropriate manner may overwhelm caregivers. The purpose of this project was to create a curriculum for Dementia Friendly Community (DFC) residential caregivers on the topic of sexual expression among older adults with dementia. By offering training on sexuality and dementia it is expected that caregivers can increase the DFC's provision of quality of life. This project presented an assessment tool and plan on how to manage ISB, activities relevant to the discussed topics, and curriculum evaluation forms. Expert reviewers offered recommendations to further improve the curriculum's quality.

Full textAbstract. Background: Because people live longer the number of people with dementia will also increase. With old age and increasing presence of chronic diseases such as dementia, it will also be an increase in the malnutrition problem in the elderly population. Aim: The present study’s aim was to describe the obstacles and opportunities for the nurse to pay attention to, prevent and minimize malnutrition in elderly demented in geriatric care. The aim was also to scrutinize the quality of the articles based on the methodological aspect selection. Method: A literature review with a descriptive approach was conducted based on 16 research articles that were searched in PubMed, Scopus and Chinal. Results: The study shows that the three stages of dementia causes nutritional problems. Lack of communication and interaction in the eating environment, lack of mealtime training and side effects of certain drugs affected the nutrition of people with dementia negatively. Lack of assessments and the lack of education / knowledge hinders the nurse to detect malnutrition. The nurse can use instruments to help to detect malnutrition and those at risk of malnutrition. The nurse may also change in the environment and put into relief efforts such as nutritional beverages, so that it benefits the nutrition better. Mealtime training has been shown to help people with dementia to reduce their eating difficulties and gain weight. Nutritional knowledge was found to be higher among those with higher education Conclusion: Nurses, who work in nursing homes for older people with dementia, have a responsibility to ensure that nutritional needs are met. Nutritional care is a team work. Parts of the nurse’s work include the role of being a leader, which means to educate and inform other healthcare professionals in nutritional care. There is extensive research on dementia and malnutrition, but few studies have been conducted using the demented person's perspective. Therefore, further research based on interviews with people with dementia is relevant.
