Så påverkar musikinterventioner patienter med demens : En strukturerad kvalitativ litteraturstudie

Thumrin, Nattan January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: Demens är ett samlingsbegrepp av symtom som karaktäriserar minnesförlust, beteendeförändringar, förlust av kognitiv förmåga och sociala funktioner som orsakas av hjärnpåverkade sjukdomar. Antalet personer som drabbas av demens kommer att öka då den äldre befolkningen ökar. Musikinterventioner används som vanliga icke-farmakologiska interventioner för att behandla patienter med demens.  Syfte: Syftet var att belysa hur musikinterventioner påverkar patienter med demens ur vårdarens perspektiv.  Metod: En strukturerad kvalitativ litteraturöversikt med inslag av den metodologi som används för systematiska översikter. 7 vetenskapliga artiklar ingick i studien. Resultat: Sex teman identifieras: (1) förbättrat humör, (2) minskad rörlighet på grund av ett ökat fokus, (3) ökad interaktion och kommunikation med andra människor, (4) ökad fysisk rörlighet, (5) att återfå minnen och självuppfattning och (6) att orsaka agitation.Slutsats: Musikinterventioner påverkar patienter med demens både positivt och negativt. Dels kan patienterna få ett förbättrat humör, dels kan de bli irriterade.

Caregivers' Perceptions of an Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease in African Americans

Jackson, Stanita 01 January 2016 (has links)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is significantly more prevalent among African Americans than within the general population, but rates of early detection are lower in the African American community. Researchers have demonstrated that both pessimistic Alzheimer's-directed health beliefs, and negative perceptions of the effectiveness and the accessibility of medical care act as barriers to care seeking by African American family members of individuals with the disease. Recent research into causal judgments made by potential caregivers about individuals with undiagnosed AD suggests that gender bias and errors in attribution may constitute covert barriers to both lay and professional interpretations regarding the need for cognitive assessment. This study used grounded theory to investigate whether African American family caregivers hold integrated, gender-distinct beliefs about causal attributions of their family member's cognitive decline which may contribute to a delay in care-seeking behaviors. The health belief model was used in conjunction with the attribution theory as the conceptual framework for understanding the data. Purposive sampling of geriatric and memory clinics, and a church was used to recruit eight family caregivers who participated in in-depth interviews. The results indicated that there is a significant lack of caregivers' knowledge and understanding of AD regardless of gender, and that this lack is linked to delays in diagnosis. These results may be used to support the development of a new theory of family caregivers' knowledge and understanding of AD. The social change implications include decreasing delayed diagnosis through increased educational awareness, community outreach programs, and universal mandatory cognitive testing of AD for at-risk individuals.
