Technology use to improve everyday occupations in older persons with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment: A scoping review / Ann-Helen Patomella in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 10 (Octobre 2018)

The aim of this study was to review empirical studies reporting on the use of technology for improving performance in everyday occupations and evaluate the effect of training strategies in technology use in older people with mild-stage dementia or mild cognitive impairment. Method A scoping review methodology was used. Key databases were searched, covering January 2000 to October 2016, to identify studies, which were screened and assessed for inclusion. Results In total, 14 studies were included. Most studies used quantitative designs with small sample sizes. The methods used to measure performance in everyday occupations differed. Six studies focussed on the use of technology for improving performance. Eight studies evaluated the effect of training strategies in technology use. Conclusion Although positive effects of technology use and training in technology use have been reported for instrumental activities of daily living outcomes, the evidence supporting the use of technology in enhancing performance in occupations in people with mild-stage dementia or mild cognitive impairment is limited. Future studies should focus specifically on people with mild cognitive impairment, use more rigorous designs and include standardised methods.

The efficacy of a multifactorial falls-prevention programme, implemented in primary health care / Erika Johansson in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 8 (Août 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 8 (Août 2018) . - p. 474-481 Titre : The efficacy of a multifactorial falls-prevention programme, implemented in primary health care Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Erika Johansson ; Hans Jonsson ; Raymond Dahlberg ; Ann-Helen Patomella Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 474-481 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Accidental falls  health promotion  multi-disciplinary  occupational therapy  adult learning Résumé : Introduction A major threat to healthy ageing is accidental falls causing individual suffering as well as increasing costs for society. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate a multifactorial falls-prevention programme, with ordinary falls prevention in primary healthcare. Method Eligible patients were community-dwelling older adults (+65) who had fallen within the last 6 months or were concerned about falling. Participants (n = 131) were randomized to an intervention or control group. The primary outcome was measure of falls and the secondary was fear of falling. Results There was a significant decrease in the risk of falls and fear of falling at 12 months in favour of the intervention group. When comparing groups over time, including baseline measures, only fear of falling remained significant. Conclusion Small-group learning environments in combination with learning by doing, could be an effective approach for the translation of knowledge into everyday life and valued activities leading to a decrease in falls and fear of falling. Multifactorial and multi-disciplinary approaches against falls in a small-group learning environment could be effective in preventing falls and reducing fear of falling among older adults at risk.
