Effectiveness of interventions designed to modify and maintain perceptual abilities in people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias / Lori Letts in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 65/5 (septembre-octobre 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 65/5 (septembre-octobre 2011) . - p. 505-513 Titre : Effectiveness of interventions designed to modify and maintain perceptual abilities in people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lori Letts ; et al. ; Mary EDWARDS ; Jacqueline MINEZES Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p. 505-513 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Démence Alzheimer  Ergothérapie  Perception  Médecine fondée sur les preuves Résumé : An evidence-based review was undertaken to answer the question, “What is the evidence for the effect of interventions designed to modify and maintain perceptual abilities on the occupational performance of people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias?” A systematic search of electronic databases and application of inclusion and exclusion criteria guided the selection of 31 articles. Each article was critically appraised, and the evidence was synthesized. Some interventions use remaining perceptual abilities to enable people to find their way in a facility and decrease attempts at exiting. Preliminary evidence has supported use of visual stimulation and barriers. We found some evidence for the use of auditory stimuli and group therapy that aim to change perceptual abilities. Research with high-level evidence is required to validate these findings. Evidence on the benefits of Snoezelen® is not conclusive for occupational performance outcomes; further research to justify its use as an occupational therapy intervention may be warranted.

Using occupations to improve quality of life, health and wellness, and client and caregiver satisfaction for people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias / Lori Letts in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 65/5 (septembre-octobre 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 65/5 (septembre-octobre 2011) . - p. 497-504 Titre : Using occupations to improve quality of life, health and wellness, and client and caregiver satisfaction for people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lori Letts ; Mary EDWARDS ; et al. ; Julie BERENYI Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p. 497-504 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Activités vie quotidienne  Démence Alzheimer  Vie quotidienne  Loisir  Relation sociale  Promotion santé Résumé : An evidence-based review was undertaken to answer the question, “What is the evidence for the effect of interventions designed to establish, modify, and maintain activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), leisure, and social participation on quality of life (QOL), health and wellness, and client and caregiver satisfaction for people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias?” A systematic search of electronic databases and application of inclusion and exclusion criteria guided the selection of 26 articles. Limited high-level evidence on ADL interventions was identified. IADL interventions for people living in the community showed promise. Tailored and activity-based leisure interventions were common and seemed to have positive impacts on caregiver satisfaction, and some interventions had positive results for client well-being and QOL. Social participation interventions focused on people with dementia still able to engage in verbal social interactions; these interventions had at least short-term positive effects.
