Musik som omvårdnadsåtgärd för personer med demens : En litteraturstudie / Music as a nursing measure for patients with dementia : A literature study

Chappatte Jonsson Rebecca, Rebecca, Gunnarsdotter, Linnéa January 2019 (has links)
Bakgrund: Demens är en samlingsterm för sjukdomar som drabbar människors kognitiva funktioner i hjärnan. Demenssjukdomar degenererar långsamt och är en irreversibel sjukdom. När sjukdomen pågått en tid blir det svårt för personerna med demens att orientera sig i tid och rum, att minnas, sköta sin hygien och att äta blir vardagliga problem. Den kognitiva försämringen leder till kommunikationssvårigheter som ofta medför att personer med demens lätt blir agiterade och kan upplevas motsträviga av omgivningen. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva effekter av musik som omvårdnadsåtgärd för personer med demens. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats har genomförts. Resultat: Tio vetenskapliga artiklar från databaserna CINAHL, PubMed och PsycINFO användes i litteraturstudien. Musik i olika former bidrar till emotionella effekter som goda relationer mellan personer med demens och sjuksköterskor och positiva känslor. Musik ger även kognitiva effekter som bibehållet minne och förbättrad kommunikation. Konklusion: De mest anmärkningsvärda effekterna av musik som framkommer i litteraturstudien är den ömsesidiga glädjen mellan personen med demens och sjuksköterskan. Denna ömsesidiga glädje bidrar till god relation, ökat välmående och meningsfullhet. / Background:Dementia is an umbrella term for diseases that affect human cognitive functions in the brain. Dementia slowly degenerates and is an irreversible disease. When the disease has been going on for a while, it becomes difficult for the person with dementia to orient themselves in time and space, to remember, take care of their hygiene and to eat becomes everyday problems. The cognitive impairment leads to communication difficulties that often mean that person with dementia are easily agitated and can be experienced reluctantly by the environment. Aim:The aim of the study was to describe the effects of music as a nursing measure for person with dementia.Method:A general literature study with inductive approach has been carried out. Result:Ten scientific articles from the databases CINAHL, PubMed and PsycINFO were used in the literature study. Music in various forms contributes to emotional effects such as good relationships between person with dementia and nurses and positive emotions. Music also provides cognitive effects such as retained memory and improved communication. Conclusion:The most notable effects of music emerging from the literature study are the mutual joy between the person with dementia and the nurse. This mutual joy contributes to good relationship, increased well-being and meaningfulness.

Daily life of persons with dementia and their spouses supported by a passive positioning alarm

Olsson, Annakarin January 2013 (has links)
The overall aim was to describe how persons with dementia (PwDs) reflecton being outdoors and to investigate the support provided by a passivepositioning alarm (PPA) in making daily life safer for PwDs and theirspouses. Repeated conversations were held with 11 PwDs living in their own homesregarding their reflections on being outdoors (Study I). Interview study with14 spouses to a person with dementia (PwD) with their reflections on differentkinds of information and communication technology (ICT) devicesthat were used or can be used in the daily care of PwDs (Study II). An ethnographicapproach with participant observations and conversations withfive couples, a PwD and his/her spouse, describing and exploring their useand experiences of using a PPA, over time, in daily life (Study III). An experimentalsingle-case ABAB-design with three cases, a PwD and hisspouse, investigating the effects of using tracking technology on independentoutdoor activities and psychological well-being (Study IV). In summary, the results of the thesis show that being outdoors was describedby the PwDs as a confirmation of their identity, the `Self´. The useof ICT in daily care of PwDs was described by the spouses as shifting betweentheir own needs for safety and security and the perceived need forsafety and security from the perspective of the PwD. The use of a PPA indaily life among PwDs living in their own homes can give a sense of freedom,support and strengthen the feeling of independence for both PwDsand their spouses as well as give a feeling of safety and security for themboth. Use of the PPA may also increase PwDs’ independent outdoor activitiesand decrease spouses’ worries.

Att se var och en på det sättet som den behöver : En kvalitativ intervjustudie om undersköterskors erfarenheter av personcentrerad omvårdnad för personer med demenssjukdom på särskilt boende / Seeing each one in the way they need to : A qualitative interview study on nursing assistants experiences of person-centred care for people with dementia in nursing homes

Moberg, Ulrica, Rydkvist, Matilda January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund: Cirka 40 % av de som lider av en demenssjukdom i Sverige bor på särskilt boende. Omvårdnaden som ges bör enligt Socialstyrelsen vara personcentrerad vilket innebär att personens upplevelse sätts i centrum.   Syfte: Att beskriva undersköterskors erfarenheter av personcentrerad omvårdnad för personer med demenssjukdom på särskilt boende.   Metod: En kvalitativ design med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys som grund.   Resultat: Studien visar två kategorier och fem subkategorier. Den första kategorin är levnadsberättelsens betydelse för personcentrerad omvårdnad där flera erfarenheter av att arbeta utifrån levnadsberättelsen beskrivs. Den andra kategorin är en känsla av otillräcklighet där undersköterskornas vilja att göra mer men inte kunna beskrivs.   Slutsats: Undersköterskornas erfarenheter visar att en väl ifylld levnadsberättelse ger förutsättningar för att ge en god personcentrerad omvårdnad. Informationen som framkommer i levnadsberättelsen gör det möjligt att skräddarsy omvårdnaden kring personen med demenssjukdom. Det finns även en känsla av otillräcklighet hos undersköterskorna och tidsbrist är en bidragande faktor. / Background: About 40 % of the persons suffering from dementia in Sweden lives in nursing homes. According to the National Board of Health and Welfare, the care ought to be person-centred, which means that the person is the centre of the care.  Aim: To describe the experiences of assistant nurses working with person-centred care for people with dementia living in nursing homes.  Method: A qualitative design with semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed with qualitative content analysis.  Result: The outcome of the study shows two categories and five subcategories. The first category is the significance of life story for person-centred care where several experiences to work based on the life story are described. The second category is a feeling of inadequacy where the nursing assistants describes a desire to do more but not be able to.  Conclusion: The nursing assistants experience that a prerequisite to be able to provide a good person-centred care is a life story with a lot of information. The information about the person enables the nursing assistant to customize the care of the person with dementia. There are also feelings of inadequacy expressed by the nursing assistants.

Anhörigvårdare av personer med demens : En litteraturöversikt om anhörigvårdares upplevelser under vårdtiden / Family caregivers of people with dementia

Ahmed-Dahmane, Imane, Popescu, Monica January 2020 (has links)
Antalet anhörigvårdare av personer med demens förväntas öka under de nästkommande tio åren i samband med att antalet personer som drabbas av demenssjukdom ökar, samtidigt som den offentliga omsorgen minskar. Anhörigvårdare av personer med demens har flera stödbehov som inte är uppfyllda på grund av en bristande förståelse av deras livssituation. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att skapa förståelse och belysa livssituationen för anhöriga som vårdar en närstående med en demenssjukdom. För att besvara syftet har en litteratursökning gjorts i tre databaser som har resulterat i identifieringen av 15 kvalitativa studier. Tematisk analys har tillämpats på studiernas resultatavsnitt. Tre huvudteman och fem underteman har identifierats. Teman belyser anhörigvårdarna av personer med demens, deras upplevelse samt de strategierna de använder för att klara av vardagen. Livssituationen för anhörigvårdare av personer med demens ser olika ut och stödbehoven är individualiserad och beror på deras livssituation innan insjuknandet samt på sjukdomens symtom. / Family caregiving of people with dementia is expected to increase due to a declining public care and a growing number of people suffering from dementia. There is a need for better understanding of the life situation of family caregivers in order to give them the right support. The aim of this literature study is to emphasize the life situation of relatives caring for persons with dementia disease.  The methodological approach is thematic analysis av 15 qualitative studies that have been identified after a literature search conducted in three databases. The results are presented in three main themes and five sub-themes. The themes highlight the family caregivers, their experience and the strategies they use to cope with everyday life. The study concludes that the life situation of the family caregivers is individualized. Their support needs are varying according to the development of the dementia disease and the circumstances before the illness.

From the "rising tide" to solidarity: disrupting dominant crisis discourses in dementia social policy in neoliberal times

MacLeod, Suzanne 26 March 2014 (has links)
As a social worker practising in long-term residential care for people living with dementia, I am alarmed by discourses in the media and health policy that construct persons living with dementia and their health care needs as a threatening “rising tide” or crisis. I am particularly concerned about the material effects such dominant discourses, and the values they uphold, might have on the collective provision of care and support for our elderly citizens in the present neoliberal economic and political context of health care. To better understand how dominant discourses about dementia work at this time when Canada’s population is aging and the number of persons living with dementia is anticipated to increase, I have rooted my thesis in poststructural methodology. My research method is a discourse analysis, which draws on Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical concepts, to examine two contemporary health policy documents related to dementia care – one national and one provincial. I also incorporate some poetic representation – or found poetry – to write up my findings. While deconstructing and disrupting taken for granted dominant crisis discourses on dementia in health policy, my research also makes space for alternative constructions to support discursive and health policy possibilities in solidarity with persons living with dementia so that they may thrive. / Graduate / 0452 / 0680 / 0351 / macsuz@shaw.ca
