Figure 1: Global Incidence of Dementia
Dementia has been defined by NICE guideline as a ratherprogressive as well as irreversible clinical syndrome that causesdiverse kinds of damages to mental functions like, loss ofmemory, disorientation, language impairments, challenges inexecuting day-to-day activities, self-neglect, personality changes,out of character behaviours and psychiatric symptoms.
On the basis of this definition, it becomes clear as to the mannerin which dementia is known to impact not just the physical orbiological facets of the health of an individual but also thesociological and psychological facets.
DEFINING DEMENTIA
Contd...
Tackling these are of much significance as it has been stated by theWorld Health Organization (WHO) that health refers to state ofoverall mental, social and physical well-being and does notexclusively refer to a lack of infirmity or disease.
However, it would also make sense to mention that as of nowdementia is incurable.
This is mainly owing to the fact that dementia is an outcome ofvarious underlying health conditions.
Contd...
Therefore, it is not possible to have a single cure for all kinds of dementia.
The several kinds of dementia would comprise of; vascular dementia, frontotemporaldementia, Alzheimer’s (the most common form), dementia with lewy bodies andseveral others.
There is scope for deliberating that the focus in terms of provisionof care for people with dementia would be to assist them to copeand manage their condition in a highly effective manner, whilepreventing complications as well as other challenges associatedwith health that would be an outcome of a gradual progression ofsymptoms and illness.
It has been stated by Handley, Bunn and Goodman that social andhealth care professionals should focus more on sustaining theindependence of patients as much as possible while tackling thechallenges confronted by patients in terms of their day-to-dayfunctioning, in order to increase their functionality while reducingthe need for support.
CARE DELIVERY
Contd...
It would also be critical to stress upon the fact that care managementin dementia is rather individualistic as all individuals with dementiamight be confronted with distinct challenges related to their ailmentand this would largely hinge on the stage and nature of their disease.
From a psychosocial viewpoint, the argument that people who havebeen diagnosed with dementia tend to suffer negative feelings withregards to their diagnosis, does hold true.
Contd...
In the likely instance that the patient happens to be a female who hasbeen diagnosed with dementia recently, it would be important on thepart of social and healthcare professionals to provide the patient andher family with adequate information that would allow them to betterunderstand the disease and thus be better prepared to cope with thechanges that the patient and her family members might experience asan outcome of the diagnosis of dementia of the patient.
This argument is supported with a cross-sectional study that wascarried out by Lee, Roen and Thornton which found that it wasnecessary for people with dementia to be in a position to understandand derive sense from their diagnosis as this would prove to behelpful to them in effectively tackling issues pertaining to the requiredadjustments they would have to undergo as an outcome of theirailment.
Care management in dementia would comprise oftackling the psychosocial and biological effects thatemerge due to the condition.
The focus in terms of care delivery should be directedat assisting the patient to sustain their functionalitywithout any unnecessary complications andeffectively allowing the patient and the family to copewith the condition.
CONLCUSION
Contd...
Social as well as healthcare professionals need to make sure thatinterventions of care are largely personalized which indicate that thestage of dementia and the required concerns and necessities ofpatients should be initially identified using diverse strategies andtools.
Offering information to the patient as well as his or her family is criticalas it allows them to get better insights about the condition and thuscircumvent any burden or stigma associated with dementia.
