-
The increasing burden of chronic disease demands that palliative care clinicians address the needs of patients with non-malignant disease.
-
The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon of dementia caregiving in an ethnically diverse group of Latino caregivers, with the goal of identifying cultural influences on the caregiving experience.
-
Emotion-oriented care is more effective with regard to the emotional adaptation in nursing homes of persons with a mild to moderate dementia.
-
Despite the increased interest in palliative care for patients with dementia there is currently little evidence on which to base such an approach.
-
Further research with DEMQOL is needed to confirm these findings in an independent sample, evaluate responsiveness, investigate the feasibility of use in specific subgroups and in economic evaluation, and develop population norms.
-
Quality of life (QoL) is becoming an increasingly used outcome measure in both clinical practice and research but little is known about QoL in dementia and how it may change over time.
-

Health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) scales are particularly important in older people as global outcome measures for interventions.
-

-
The burden perceived by caregivers of patients with dementia is a fundamental prognostic aspect in the history of the disease.
-
The majority of dementia-related deaths in the United States occurred in nursing homes (66.9%).
-
Factor analysis of the Caregiver Strain Index revealed three dimensions of strain (role, personal, and emotional) related to caregiving.
-
Persons dying with advanced dementia admitted to nursing homes have different characteristics compared to those admitted to home care services.
-
The techniques evaluated were person-centered showering and the towel bath (a person-centered, in-bed bag-bath with no-rinse soap).
-
While great strides have been made recently in improving end-of-life care in the United States, people with dementia often die with inadequate pain control, with feeding tubes in place, and without the benefits of hospice care.
-
Dependency upon others to perform ADL was the main factor affecting HRQoL.
-
Proactive interventions from a palliative care consultant within this subset of patients improved end-of-life care and decreased use of superfluous resources.
-
The results of this review support, but do not conclusively establish, the association between BPSD and PSC.
-
Caregivers who institutionalized their relative reported depressive symptoms and anxiety to be as high as they were while in-home caregivers.
-
Studies have found no evidence that feeding tubes in this population prevent aspiration, prolong life, improve overall function, or reduce pressure sores.
-
Educational support for general practitioners should concentrate on epidemiological knowledge, disclosure of the diagnosis and management of behaviour problems in dementia.
-
On the basis of these results, we recommend that discussions that include NHPs, family members, and nurses concerning decisions about possible future situations be held on a regular basis.
-
A risk score based on 12 variables from the MDS estimates 6-month mortality for nursing home residents with advanced dementia with greater accuracy than existing prognostic guidelines.

-
Nursing home residents dying with advanced dementia are not perceived as having a terminal condition, and most do not receive optimal palliative care.
-
Disability, characterised by the loss of ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL), is a defining feature of dementia that results in growing caregiver burden and the eventual need for alternative care or nursing home placement.
-
Caregiver management strategies would appear to be associated with behavioural problems in dementia, and are important in predicting patient behaviour and caregiver burden.
-
46/100
Nursing home staff tended to perceive residents in more negative than positive ways.
-
The goal of this study was to determine the patient and caregiver characteristics associated with depression among caregivers of patients with dementia.
-

-
The project exposes a discrepancy between the manner in which the nursing staff perceive use of restraints in an idealistic situation and in a realistic situation and the greater tendency to use restraints in the realistic situation than in the idealistic situation.
-
67/100
