Area of Science:

  • Medical Humanities
  • Neuroscience
  • Poetry and Literature

Background:

  • Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the progressive unraveling of memory.
  • The subjective experience of memory loss varies significantly among individuals and their support networks.
  • Understanding these diverse perspectives is crucial for holistic patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the multifaceted nature of memory loss in Alzheimer's disease through a poetic lens.
  • To examine the differing perceptions of memory loss among physicians, patients, and families.
  • To offer a novel perspective on resilience in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.

Main Methods:

  • A poem titled 'Resilience' was created, integrating personal encounters with medical imagery.
  • The poem uses narrative and imagery to convey the emotional and psychological impact of Alzheimer's disease.
  • Qualitative exploration of physician, patient, and family viewpoints on memory and cognitive decline.

Main Results:

  • The poem illustrates the profound and varied impact of memory loss on individuals and their families.
  • It reveals discrepancies in how medical professionals and patients/families perceive the progression and significance of memory impairment.
  • The work suggests that adaptation and meaning-making, rather than solely combating the disease, constitute resilience.

Conclusions:

  • Resilience in Alzheimer's disease involves finding meaning amidst cognitive decline and memory erasure.
  • A deeper understanding of diverse perceptions can enhance empathy and support for patients and families.
  • This artistic exploration offers a unique contribution to the discourse on neurodegenerative diseases and human experience.
