まとめ
シンガポールの認知症患者の多くは 自宅でのケアを好みますが 健康状態や介護者の負担などの要因が 最終的なケア場所に影響します これは 認知症患者の終末期の好みを満たすという課題を 強調しています
科学分野:
- ゲロントロジー
- 緩和ケア
- 公衆衛生
背景:
- 認知症の流行は 世界的に増加しており 終末期医療の改善が求められています
- 死亡場所などの現在の終末の品質指標は 死の過程について 限られた洞察力を提供します
- 治療の最終的な場所 (人生の最後の3日間) と患者の好みとの一致は,特に進行した認知症では十分に研究されていません.
研究 の 目的:
- 認知症の最終治療場所に影響を与える要因を特定する.
- 介護の最終的な場所と,以前に述べた好みの間の一致を決定する.
- 高度な認知症の終末期ケアを改善するための政策と実践を図る
主な方法:
- シンガポールのホームベースの緩和ケアサービスにおける284人の電子医療記録を用いた遡及的なコホート研究.
- 多変量バイノミアルロジスティック回帰,コンコンダンス,および感度分析が採用された.
- 治療の最終的な場所 (自宅,入院ホスピス,病院) と目標との一致に焦点を当ててください.
主要な成果:
- 家庭での介護が最も多かった (81.7%).
- 生物学的/機能的な状態の改善は入院を予測し,不快感,食事の問題,心理的社会的な課題は入院を予測した.
- 介護者の負担と心理的課題の増大は,好みとの不一致と関連していた (14.4%).
結論:
- 進行性認知症の経路は予測不可能で 終末期ケアに多面的な課題があります
- 死亡場所とは異なり,安定した社会人口学的要因は,最終的な介護場所に影響を与えなかった.
- 終末期ケアに関する政策を 患者の最終的なケア場所の好みに合わせる必要があることを強調しています
