An explorative study of the relationship between functional and cognitive decline in older persons with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease / Sophie Vermeersch in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Volume 78 numéro 3 (Mars 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 78 numéro 3 (Mars 2015) . - p. 166-174 Titre : An explorative study of the relationship between functional and cognitive decline in older persons with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sophie Vermeersch, Auteur ; Ellen Gorus, Auteur ; Elise Cornelis, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p. 166-174 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Complex activities of daily living  Functional decline  Mild cognitive disorders  Evaluation ADL Résumé : Introduction This study explored the relationship between functional decline on three advanced activities of daily living and cognitive decline in elderly persons. The use of everyday technology, driving a vehicle, and performing complex economic activities are advanced activities of daily living domains presumed to be sensitive to early cognitive decline and therefore of interest for the profession of occupational therapy. Method We included 45 persons with mild cognitive impairment, 48 persons with Alzheimer’s disease, and 50 cognitively healthy controls. Functional impairment due to cognitive decline was evaluated by the advanced activities of daily living tool. Cognitive disability indices were computed for the investigated advanced activities of daily living domains and correlated with the Mini Mental State Examination and the Cambridge Examination for Mental Disorders of the Elderly, Cognitive Part. Results The cognitive disability index for performing complex economic activities and the cognitive disability index for the three advanced activities of daily living domains together differed significantly between the three groups. For the whole sample, the advanced activity of daily living cognitive disability indices correlated strongly with the cognitive measures. Within each separate group, few correlations were found. Conclusion This study contributes to the field of knowledge for occupational therapy by emphasizing the value of assessment of advanced activities of daily living in early cognitive decline. For the occupational therapy profession, further research is required in the interaction between functional decline and cognition in early cognitive decline.

A retrospective study of a multicomponent rehabilitation programme for community-dwelling persons with dementia and their caregivers / Elise Cornelis in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 1 (January 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 1 (January 2018) . - p. 5-14 Titre : A retrospective study of a multicomponent rehabilitation programme for community-dwelling persons with dementia and their caregivers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elise Cornelis ; Ellen Gorus ; Ingo Beyer ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 5-14 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  personne âgée  démence  réadaptation  personnel soignant Résumé : Introduction This study determined whether the multicomponent rehabilitation programme of a memory clinic had positive outcomes on ameliorating everyday functioning, quality of life, mood and behavioural disturbances of persons with dementia and reducing distress and burden of caregivers. Method A retrospective pre-test–post-test study without control group was conducted on the first cohort of persons with dementia (n = 30) and their caregivers (n = 30), who participated in a programme lasting for a maximum of 1 year with 25 1-hour counselling sessions. The assessment contained an evaluation of everyday functioning in basic, instrumental and advanced activities of daily living, cognition, mood, emotional and behavioural disturbances, quality of life and caregiver burden. Results Eight participants dropped out prematurely. For persons with dementia (n = 22), participating in the programme did not improve everyday functioning and cognition but ameliorated quality of life significantly (Z = –2.7, p = 0.006, 95% CI (.003–.005)) and stabilized mood, emotional and behavioural disturbances for 60% or more of them. For caregivers (n = 22), the mild to moderate burden of care remained stable or got better for 63.6% of the caregivers. Conclusion This programme appears to be promising and valuable, and might reduce institutionalization rates. Future explorations are recommended to research how participants evolve and to investigate which participants responded in a positive way.
