Assessment Scales for Advanced Dementia de Ann Hurley
Descripción - Críticas 'The authors of this book... pioneered research on palliative care in dementia. They also recognized that to advance the field, researchers need tools to produce evidence that can inform care. This book presents decades of important work on highly relevant concepts that have been made operational by specific scales.' (from the Foreword)-- (12/12/2014) Reseña del editor With the goal of alleviating the paucity of knowledge about advanced dementia, and helping to improve the care and services that are increasingly needed for the growing numbers of people living with dementia-type diseases, this book provides evidence-based measurement scales for use by researchers and care providers who are seeking to improve our understanding of the final stages of this disease. Now collected in a single place are the best available research tools for use with this unique population, accompanied by knowledgeable reviews by the book's internationally recognized authors and by the original journal articles that explain each scale s development and validity. All scales presented in this unique resource have been proven effective in eliciting meaningful data from study subjects, patients, and long-term care residents whose communication difficulties reduce their ability to self-report or respond in traditionally measured ways. These customized scales are useful for assessing the following domains in late-stage or end-of-life dementia care: Dementia severity, Satisfaction with care, Symptom management, Comfort during dying, Quality of life, Activity involvement, Discomfort, Pain, Quality of visits, Agitation, Rejection of care Biografía del autor Dr. Ladislav Volicer is currently the Courtesy Full Professor at the School of Aging Studies, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA, Visiting Professor at the 3rd Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic and Adjunct Professor at the University of Western Sydney. In 1979, he moved his laboratory to the E.N.Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital in Bedford, MA and got involved in research and care for individuals with dementia. As a medical director, he established one of the first Dementia Special Care Units and introduced the concept of structured palliative care for patients with advanced dementia. Goals of care on this unit were quality of life, dignity and comfort instead of prolongation of life at all costs. Dr. Volicer investigated various aspects of dementia care, including behavioural symptoms, medical complications and eating difficulties. He is recognized as an international expert on advanced dementia care. Dr. Ann C.
