Dementia01:30

Dementia

63
Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview01:26

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

313
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

125
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

22
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychosocial Interventions
  • Dementia Care

Background:

  • Effective psychosocial interventions require outcome measures sensitive to individual experiences of dementia.
  • Existing measures may not capture the heterogeneity and dynamic challenges of living with dementia.
  • Strengths-based approaches are crucial for assessing well-being in persons with dementia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the lived experience of living well with dementia.
  • To identify priority concepts for developing new, strengths-based outcome measures.
  • To inform the development of interventions, supports, and services that enhance well-being in dementia.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of focus group data.
  • Application of Human-Centered Design (HCD) principles.
  • Data collection through interviews, observations, and related empathetic methods.

Main Results:

  • Identified key approaches and concepts central to living well with dementia.
  • Highlighted the importance of individual heterogeneity and daily variations in lived experience.
  • Gathered insights to inform the creation of novel research measures.

Conclusions:

  • Findings will guide the development of new measures for dementia research.
  • New measures will focus on processes and outcomes related to well-being.
  • This research supports person-centered care and improved quality of life for individuals with dementia.
