Full textNeurocognitive disorder or dementia are collective terms for several chronic diseases. What they have in common is that they affect the brain in different ways and the person being affected fails in different cognitive domains. Nine out of ten persons with dementia suffer from behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Behavioural and psychologicalsymptoms of dementia can lead to great suffering and can be difficult to manage for relativesand staff. Non-pharmacological interventions have the highest priority in the treatment of behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Music-based therapeutic interventions are one of these interventions that have received increased attention. The method is also supported by proven experience. To be able to offer person-centred nursing and make use of a wide range of nursing measures, care staff need to be aware of these methods and how they work. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of music-based therapeutic interventions on the behavioural and psychological symptoms that can occur in cognitive disorder. The method was a literature review with systematic structure. The searches were performed in the databases PubMed and CINAHL. A total of 15 scientific quantitative articles were included, which were firs quality reviewed and then analysed with integrated analysis. The results were categorized into two main categories. “Effect on behavioural symptoms” and “Effect on psychological symptoms”. The articles showed greatest effect on psychological symptoms and then mainly on depression and anxiety. The results also showed that music-based therapeutic interventions could reduce delusions, hallucinations and apathy. Some effect was also seen on behavioural symptoms such as aggression and agitation. The results showed that in most cases the effect diminished after three to four weeks. The study concluded that music-based therapeutic interventions may have an effect on behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. The effect was seen mainly on the psychological symptoms, which is consistent with previous research. In order to best avoid potentially dangerous drugs for people with behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, non-pharmacological methods are prioritized according to the Swedish national guidelines for care of dementia. By practicing person-centred nursing and using music for therapeutic purposes, healthcare professionals can influence negative symptoms and thus increase the quality of life for people who experience behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia.

Full textMore and more people suffer from dementia and a large part of these is affected by some point of one or several behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). BPSD creates great suffering for the affected but can also be difficult for the people around them to manage, relatives and health professionals, and is a big reason that a person moves in to a nursing facility. The aim of this study was to describe health professional’s experience of caring for persons with behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia, BPSD. The study had a descriptive design with qualitative approach. Data were collected through six individual semi-structured interviews. By convenience sampling, nursing assistant working at a nursing facility for people with dementia in Sweden were recruited. Data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. A theme emerged, “Difficulties to find a balance between need and resource”. The informants experienced their work in caring for people with BPSD as a great challenge but also as very awarding. The feeling of being inadequate, lacking knowledge or ability to handle certain situations or symptoms and lack of resources perceived as stressful by the informants. Aggressiveness and anxiety in individuals with BPSD were experienced as the most difficult to handle. The results also showed that the informants experienced working with persons with BPSD as exiting, interesting and fun and that they felt satisfaction in being there for the person with BPSD and to be able to contribute to their well-being. The conclusion in this study shows that informants experienced great challenges in their work to create wellbeing for people with BPSD. Support and education could increase the job satisfaction for the health personnel but also increase the quality of life for people with BPSD.

Full textABSTRAKT I föreliggande studie har åtta vårdpersonal med lång erfarenhet av arbete på vård och omsorgsboende för personer med demenssjukdom personer intervjuats. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva vårdpersonals upplevelse av att vårda personer med demenssjukdom och BPSD. Materialet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys och induktiv ansats. Analysen resulterade i fyra kategorier: Att skapa kontakt, Ingen dag är den andra lik, Vara lugn och ta sig tid samt Alla behövs. Resultatet visade att vårdpersonal i vård och omsorgsboende ställdes inför en mängd svåra och varierande uppgifter i omvårdnaden. Vårdpersonalen bemötte personerna med demenssjukdom genom att anpassa mötet utifrån rådande förutsättningar. Vårdpersonalen pratade lugnt, använde få ord och lät kontakten ta tid. Både verbal och icke verbal kommunikation användes för att få kontakt och i vissa fall humor och musik. Ett gott bemötande förutsatte emellertid ett stödjande sammanhang både på grupp- och organisationsnivå. Vårdpersonalen beskrev betydelsen av ett fungerande team där kontinuerlig behovsbaserad planering och en tydlig målsättning var viktiga delar i vården av personer med demenssjukdom. Specialistsjuksköterskan inom vård av äldre har en central roll i att leda och samordna vårdarbetet i teamet med den demenssjuke personens behov som utgångspunkt. Med sina expertkunskaper kan sjuksköterskan utveckla omvårdnadsarbetet och säkerställa att den teoretiska kunskapen omsätts och kombineras med erfarenhetsbaserad kunskap.

Full textBackground Dementia can cause behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Thesesymptoms may occur sometimes in approximately 90% of all people with dementia. BPSD caninvolve a great deal of suffering for both the person suffering from dementia as for his or herfamily and constitutes a professional challenge for the staff. Aim The aim of this study is to illustrate some of the educational interventions that exists for the staffcaring for persons suffering from anxiety/agitation caused by BPSD, the effect those interventionshas had on anxiety/agitation related to BPSD. Method A literature search has been made in the databases ”PubMed” and ”CINAHL”. A total of eightquantitative articles were selected, reviewed and analysed.ResultsThe result of this study indicated that staff education that aims to give individualized interventionsfor the residents seem to have a positive effect on anxiety/agitation on persons suffering fromdementia. Conclusions The educational interventions reviewed in this study was at a first glance quite different from eachother but the thing that was common in all the studies was that they aimed to give individualizedinterventions for the residents. In this study, we could see a positive connection between staffeducation aiming to give individualized interventions based on the resident’s preferences and adecreased level of anxiety/agitation in residents suffering from BPSD.

Full textBakgrund: I Sverige insjuknar varje år cirka 24 000 personer i demenssjukdom. Då medellivslängden stiger, ökar antalet insjuknande för varje år. Att insjukna i demenssjukdom innebär både psykiska och fysiska funktionsnedsättningar i form av Beteendemässiga och Psykiska Symtom vid Demenssjukdom (BPSD) som kan leda till problem i det dagliga livet. Studier har visat att musikterapi kan vara ett av många alternativ till icke farmakologisk behandlig vid BPSD hos personer med demenssjukdom.Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva hur musik inverkar på personer med demenssjukdom.Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt gjordes, där litteratur söktes utifrån syftet via databassökningar. Tio vetenskapliga artiklarn valdes ut, granskades och analyserades.Resultat: Resultatet visade på att musik kunde ge viss inverkan på personer med demenssjukdom. Musiken inverkade både positivt och negativt på Beteendemässiga och Psykiska Symtom vid Demenssjukdom. Individuellt utvald musik visade större inverkan än slumpvist utvald musik. Musik som personer med demenssjukdom tyckte om, skapade en god sinnesstämning vilket ledde till en ökad social interaktion.Slutsats: Även om musik inte gav en inverkan hos alla personer med demenssjukdom, kan musik vara en alternativ resurs till de personer med demenssjukdom som musik inverkade på. Musik inom omvårdnaden kan reducera BPSD och öka sinnesstämningen och den sociala interaktionen, vilket kan stärka KASAM hos personer med demenssjukdom.
Background: Each year around 24 000 people are diagnosed with dementia disease in Sweden. Further with the rise in life expectancy, the number of persons affected increases. Dementia results in both psychiatric and physical disabilities in the shape of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms (BPSD) that can lead to problems in daily life. Studies show that music therapy can be one of many options to non-pharmacological treatment for BPSD in people with dementia disease.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe how music can influence people with dementia. Method: A literature review was made of ten scientific articles, sought through databases . Ten selected articles were carefully analyzed.Results: The results show that music produced some effects on dementia patients. The music influenced both positively and negatively the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. Music individually selected by the patients themselves had a greater effect than the music selected at random. The positive effects of music created a state of mind which led to increased social interaction.Conclusion: Although all patients were not affected by the music, it can be an alternative resource for those that are. Affected the use of music in medical care may reduce the BPSD and raise the state of mind and better social interaction, thus improving SOC in dementia patients.

Full textThe world's population is aging and more people suffer from some form of dementia. The ability to communicate is affected by the changes dementia brings. Approximately 90 percent of those suffering from dementia will at some point suffer from behavioral and psychological symptoms which mean a great suffering for people with dementia and a major challenge for families and caregivers. The aim of the study was to describe the impact of communication in nursing situation in behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. The study was conducted as a literature study where ten articles were examined. Four themes emerged: to not adapt communication, use of a childish language, to adapt communication and use of singing and music. The results showed that vague and unclear communication and the use of a childish language could lead to confusion and resistant behavior. Clear communication and short instructions would increase the likelihood of cooperation. Singing and music also had a positive impact on both caregivers and people with dementia. Education is needed for caregivers on the implementation of various communication strategies in dementia. Further research on the topic is needed to meet the important challenge met by society.

Full textBackground: Nurses will at some point during their working life meet patients with dementia and approaching the behavioral and psychological symptoms that can occur is both a challenging and difficult task for the nurse to handle. Ethical dilemmas can easily arise in situations where the nurse may have to work against the patient’s own wishes to be able to provide optimal care. Aim: To elucidate nurse’s approach towards patients with dementia presenting behavioral and psychological symptoms.Method: A literature review based on 12 scientific articles with a qualitative approach from the search made in CINAHL and PubMed. All articles presented have undergone a quality review and thematic analysis.Results: After review of the articles, five themes were developed: environment, communication, knowledge, person-centered care and care strategies. Within each theme, different categories were identified and then linked to the approach towards patients with dementia presenting behavioral and psychological symptoms. Conclusion: In order for the nurse to have the best prerequisite in handling difficult situations with patients presenting symptoms of BPSD, knowledge, ability to communication, a person-centred approach and care strategies are factors that are important.

Full textBehavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) have a high incidence in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and represent a huge additional problem for caregivers in patients’ management. Thus, the additional help of qualified staff is frequently needed, leading to patients’ premature institutionalization and, therefore, increasing the costs of healthcare. Even though the causes of these anomalies have not been clarified yet, several studies hypothesized the involvement of the immune system. For example, systemic inflammatory states have been demonstrated to influence BPSD-like manifestations in sepsis mouse models and, similarly, delirium clinical condition suggested the contribution of peripheral immune responses in the genesis of behavioural disturbances. In light of these evidences, the TSPO/DBI system seems an interesting target to investigate. Indeed, it is expressed in CNS, where it is upregulated following neuroinflammation but it has also been identified in periphery and, here, it has been shown to be altered in different neuropsychiatric conditions. Moreover, it is responsible for the biosynthesis of neurosteroids, which have been demonstrated to be involved in mood control through their GABAA receptor modulatory action, and its activation pathway influences BDNF production, which is important for neuronal circuits. In addition, TSPO has displayed the ability to regulate monocytes chemotaxis and this process, together with neutrophils migration towards AD brain, is fundamental to sustain neuroinflammation. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the TSPO/DBI system in AD patients as well as in healthy controls, in order to identify possible alterations that could influence BPSD manifestations, with particular attention to agitation/aggression symptoms. Moreover, to verify the disease-specificity of these putative variations, we also analysed the same system in an MCI cohort and in a group of patients diagnosed with non-determined cognitive impairment (NDCI). Our interest was addressed not only to TSPO-dependent neurosteroidogenic pathway but also to TSPO-regulated monocytes migration. Moreover, we explored neutrophils infiltration in mouse models of AD (APP/PS1) as well as NLRP3-inflammasome deficiency superimposed on AD background (APP/PS1/Nlrp3-/-). Indeed, NLRP3 complex has been shown to be triggered by Neutrophils Extracellular Traps (NETs) that are released by activated neutrophils in brain parenchyma. Our results showed that TSPO endogenous ligand (DBI) is increased in serum of AD patients compared to controls, although there are no significant differences neither in TSPO nor in the products of its activation pathway between the two cohorts. However, dichotomizing AD subjects according to the absence or presence of agitation/aggression symptoms, the same parameters above-mentioned were almost identical in the two groups, suggesting that the TSPO/DBI system is not implicated in the onset of these disturbances. In addition, since we detected higher DBI serum levels in MCI as well as NDCI subjects compared to controls, we propose that this peptide more likely represents a marker of degeneration rather than AD pathology and this hypothesis is further supported by the correlation we found between DBI and t-tau in the CSF of AD patients. Also, given the correlation of serum DBI concentration to its CSF one, we speculated the existence of a relationship between these two compartments. On the other hand, we demonstrated that not only oligomeric Aβ influences monocytes chemotaxis but also that this process is much more stimulated in cells isolated from AD patients than in the ones from controls. Lastly, we confirmed that neutrophils infiltrate the brains of APP/PS1 as well as APP/PS1/Nlrp3-/- mice and that they release toxic NETs in the parenchyma. Moreover, this infiltration was more evident in LPS-treated animals, suggesting a role for peripheral inflammatory processes in boosting central neuroinflammation.

Full textBackground and Aims: Neuroinflammation is a key event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is sustained by resident glial cells and blood derived monocytes attracted into the brain. Still, monocytes contribution to AD is controversial. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate monocytes recruitment in the AD brain and to understand their involvement in Aβ clearance. The contribution of CCR2 and TSPO receptors to the regulation of chemotaxis was assessed, toghether with that of TREM2 and its soluble form (sTREM2) to phagocytosis. Moreover, the disease-modifying potential of Donepezil, Co-ultraPEALut and anti-Aβ monoclonal antibodies (mAb) - in relation to their ability to influence these processes - was evaluated. Finally, the potential implication of neuroinflammation and the DBI/TSPO system in the agitation/aggression (A/A) cluster of Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) was assessed. Materials and Methods: Boyden chamber chemotaxis assays and fluorescence microscopy-based phagocytosis assays were performed on monocytic cell lines and monocytes/macrophages from AD patients and controls. Oligomeric Aβ42 was used as chemoattractant and phagocytic target; the assays were also performed upon stimulation with Donepezil, Co-ultraPEALut and anti-Aβ mAb (at pathologically low levels). Expression of CCR2, TSPO and TREM2 were investigated through Real-time PCR and Western Blot analysis; plasma levels of sTREM2 were measured by ELISA. DBI levels were assessed by ELISA in CSF and serum of A/A patients. TSPO expression in lymphomonocytes from A/A patients was determined by Real-time PCR and Western Blot. Migration of monocytes from A/A patients was quantified through Boyden chamber assay. Results: Aβ42 promotes monocytes migration, but is not able to modulate CCR2 and TSPO expression. Monocytes from AD patients have reduced TREM2 expression, suggestive of limited phagocytic activity. Donepezil inhibits Aβ-induced migration, and impacts the phagocytic activity of cell lines and human macrophages from healthy controls; however, it fails to show any effect in macrophages from AD patients. Co-ultraPEALut prevents Aβ-induced chemotaxis and increases TREM2 expression in macrophages, probably recovering their phagocytic competence. Anti-Aβ mAb decrease Aβ-induced migration, but are not able to increase phagocytosis. DBI levels and TSPO expression do not increase in A/A patients, and monocytes from A/A patients do not show any difference in terms of chemotactic activity compared to their counterparts. Discussion: Taken together, these findings suggest an involvement of Aβ42 in the chemotaxis of monocytes in AD and a reduced phagocytic activity charachterizing macrophages from AD patients. The results fail to completely elucidate the mechanisms underlying Aβ-induced migration, even though they clearly point towards an involvement of TSPO in the process. Donepezil and Co-ultraPEALut emerge as useful therapeutic agents with the potential to counteract neuroinflammation by modulating chemotaxis and phagocytosis, despite treatment response in AD patients requiring additional investigations. On the other hand, an increase in specific anti-Aβ mAb in the brain of AD patient is required to deliver a protective effect in terms of plaque clearance, despite pathologically low intrathecal levels being already sufficient to interfere with monocyte recruitment. Finally, data suggest that the DBI/TSPO system may not be involved in A/A pathogenesis. Conclusion: In the future we propose to elaborate on the modulation of receptors involved in chemotaxis and to complete the characterization of the phagocytic phenotype of peripherally-derived macrophages. Future studies will be also aimed at validating the therapeutic use of the selected disease-modifying compounds. Finally, more experiments will be necessary to understand if neuroinflammation could play a role in the pathogenesis of other BPSD clusters.

Full textBACKGROUND: Dementia is common in the elderly. With the increasing number of elderly people in the community, the proportion of people with dementia will also increase. Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms in Demented individuals (BPSD) are common and these can affect the quality of life negatively and cause great suffering. Nursing interventions to reduce the prevalence of BPSD are described and can be found in current nursing research. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to describe nursing interventions for BPSD, such as the district nurse can use in the work with individuals with dementia in ordinary and special housing. METHOD: A literature review based on 21 scientific articles was implemented. RESULTS: The results showed that there are certain prerequisites for nursing interventions in BPSD, the nursing staff should have knowledge of BPSD and care should be based on individualized care with a professional approach. Senses in individuals with dementia can be activated to manage BPSD (music-hearing, touch- sensory, light-vision). Physical activity can be used to manage BPSD. CONCLUSION: It's usually not just one nursing intervention that may be appropriate for BPSD, they can be used together. The foundation should consist of knowledge of BPSD and individualized care.

Full textBackground: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common of dementia and the number of people diagnosed with AD is expected to rise significantly over time. In addition, people diagnosed with AD often exhibit the Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD), which include agitation, depression, delusions, agitation, anxiety, hallucinations, sleep disturbances, anxiety and apathy. These symptoms can cause suffer to the patient and is difficult to manage for both the caregiver and family members, as well as hampers nursing. Aim: the aim was to describe non-pharmacological methods and effects of these methods when caring for people with Alzheimer's disease who have behavioural and psychological symptoms. Method: a literature review consisting of 16 selected quantitative research articles has been performed. The selected articles ware published between years 2006- 2016. Results: The studied non-pharmacological methods were: music therapy, certain types of massage, reminiscence therapy, dog therapy and light therapy. The results showed that non-pharmacological methods can have a varying effect on BPSD. The literature review showed that music intervention was most effective in reducing agitated behaviour. Individualized music in conjunction with special memories reduced stress, phobias for persons with severe dementia. The hand massage, aroma therapy, tactile massage and therapeutic touch decreased aggression and agitated behaviour. Some studies showed that foot massage intervention and dog therapy could increase the verbal aggression for people with dementia, while another study showed that animal-assisted activities could reduce depression and increase joy and general attention. The effect of light therapy was an improved sleep, decreased depression, agitation, and eating disorders. Conclusions: non-pharmacological nursing interventions can reduce behavioural and psychological symptoms for people with Alzheimer's disease, however, with varying effect. The varying results can be interpreted as following: nonpharmacological nursing interventions should be adapted in each individual case and that there is a need for further research in this area.

Full textAbout 150 000 people in Sweden are suffering from dementia. 90 percent of these experience behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). BPSD refers to symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, agitation, depression, anxiety, euphoria, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, aberrant motor behavior, problem sleeping and problems with appetite. The goal of this study was to identify the registered nursing measures related to behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia estimated in three municipalities in southwestern Sweden. The study is a descriptive retrospective registry study that looks at historical data in the BPSD registry with regard to behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia and its nursing measures. The study is described quantitatively and includes registrations of people with dementia. The selected records in the study are those where people received nursing interventions for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in the three municipalities between the years 2011-2014. 621 registrations were included. The symptoms that turned out to be most frequent in the estimates were agitation, irritability, and aberrant motor behavior. Most registered nursing measures in behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia included quiet environment, massage, physical activity and music. More knowledge is needed about the nursing interventions and how these can facilitate the symptoms and increase quality of life for people with dementia.

Full textBackground: Each year about 25 000 people in Sweden get affected with dementia. The disease increases worldwide and is likely to double within the next 20 years. Dementia affects the brain, which affects memory and cognitive ability and can cause behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPSD). Studies show that nine out of ten people at some time will show symptoms such as anxiety, agitation, wandering and aggressive behaviors. Drug administration to treat symptoms such as agitation, anxiety and agitating behavior is not unusual. Drugs are often likely to cause side effects in older people. If animal-assisted therapy can be used to treat the symptoms that can occur in dementia it can be seen as a positive alternative when studies have shown that animal therapy has a positive effect on people with dementia. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the impact of animal-assisted therapy on people with dementia and other cognitive diseases. Method: The study is a literature review based on articles with qualitative and quantitative approach (n = 15). Results: The results of this study show that animal therapy reduces stress levels, decreased production of aggressive behaviors, fewer delusions, decreased anxiety, depression, sadness, depression and apathetic behavior, and increase joy, happiness, commitment, alertness, awareness, verbal and increased memory. Conclusion: The results indicate that animal therapy can be advantageously used as an alternative or complementary therapy for people with dementia. However, the authors think that expanded research is needed to see long-term effects of animal therapy's effects.

Full textBackground People with dementia have a great risk of developing behavioral and psychological symptoms after surgery. This puts challenges on the nurses’ care for these patients. Current research that investigate nurses’ who care for these individuals in the postoperative phase is limited. Therefore, it was considered being important to investigate this phenomenon further. Aim The study sought to investigate nurses’ knowledge of dementia, and their work methods in alleviating behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia for people who had undergone surgery. Method The study was carried out as a descriptive, cross-sectional study using online surveys. The Basic Knowledge of Alzheimer’s Disease (BKAD) was used to test participants’ knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease. The knowledge of behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia, and nurses’ working methods to alleviate these behaviors and symptoms was investigated by using developed questions. The study collected data from January to April, 2019 and a total of 50 nurses’ participated. Result There was a deficit in the knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease, and also in the knowledge of how to treat behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia. Nurses’ reported an overall difficulty in treating a person suffering from behavioral and psychological symptoms, and nurses’ also reported having several encounters with a person with dementia in the surgical ward. Nurses’ stated that training in dementia care in the baccalaureate program was low, and for this reason nurses’ stated that they wished that dementia care would get more attention. Conclusion and clinical implication Dementia care in the baccalaureate program would benefit from getting more attention. Different interventions in education of dementia care by using organizational support ought to be implemented in this process. If the knowledge of dementia care is increased there is a chance that the care for these individuals would become better.

Full textBackground: As people get older, there is an increase in more people suffering from dementia. Due to impaired communication skills in dementia, many patients develop some form of behavioral and mental symptoms in dementia (BPSD). Nurses who work in dementia care often experience both verbal and non-verbal assault, which can lead to a difficult work situation for nurses. Aim: The aim of the study was to shed light on nurses' experiences of caring for patients with dementia who have developed BPSD. Method: A general literature review where 11 scientific articles were reviewed. Results: The results show that nurses often experience some form of BPSD in the care of patients with dementia. They describe the situation as complex and that ethical conflicts often arise. Nurses see BPSD as a natural part of the dementia process. Person-centered care, environmental adaptation and treatment are seen as preventative measures and reduce the risk of BPSD occurring. In some cases, medication may be required to reduce suffering. Conclusion: The study shows that nurses 'experiences of BPSD to a large extent affect nurses' well-being and health. The study highlights the importance of understanding managers, an open work climate and education and knowledge as important factors.

Full textBackground: Swedens population is getting older then before and more are diagnosed with dementia. Caring for people with dementia is very vulnerable and research shows that person centered care can increase quality of life. By understanding the nurse´s experiance of working person centered can contribute to development of this type of care but also illustrade obstacles the nurses are facing. Aim: To describe the nurse's experience of using person-centered care in the care of people with dementia Methods: Qualitative interview study. 8 nurses that work with dementia care were interviewed in two different countys in Sweden. The transcribed interviews were analyzed with a manifest content analysis. Result: The result showed that the nurse's experience of using person-centered care is based on time for training and supervision of colleagues, but also on knowledge for personal center care. The life story plays a central role in the design of both the care and the environment around the person. Conclusion: Nurses working with people with dementia need more time for education and supervision to be able to provide better person-centered care based on the persons individual needs.

Full textBackground: People are growing older and dementia is expected to become an increasing problem. There is no available cure, but symptoms can be inhibited by pharmacological treatments, often with side effects. People with dementia often develop behavioral changes that are difficult to respond to for caregivers. With the nature of the disease and the different symptoms occuring, a person-centered care is preferable to promote participation and integrity. Aim: To conclude current research on the effects of music in the nursing care of people with dementia. Method: A literature review based on (n=18) articles from ten countries. Quantitative (n=12), qualitative (n=5) and mixed method (n=1) articles were used from CINAHL, Pubmed and Web of Science. After the analysis, differences and similarities in the articles created themes and subthemes. Results: Music interventions proved to have positive effects, regarding BPSD, cognitive functions and psychopharmacological treatment. Music could contribute to increased association between caregivers and people with dementia. The caregivers and family members' perceptions of the effects of music were mixed, however, the views were consistent that music should be used as a nursing measure. Conclusion: Music has a positive impact on people with dementia and BPSD by acting as a person-centered nursing measure and should be implemented more.

Full textResidents with dementia often exhibit behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). The purpose of this study was to explore the literature on nursing interventions in BPSD. Which nursing interventions can the nurse apply and which interventions have the highest efficiency in BPSD? The material used was eleven peer reviewed intervention studies that were focused on residents with various behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Quality control was done using quantitative and qualitative analysis mould. The results were divided into Social interventions, Music as an intervention, Aromatherapy and Touch as interventions as well as Hygiene interventions. All of these nursing interventions were more or less effective in BPSD.

Full textBackground: 90% of people with dementia suffer from BPSD at some point. How the symptoms manifest themselves is very individual and treatment should, after investigation of any underlying causes, be primarily of a non-pharmacological nature. Aim: The aim of the study was to identify non-pharmacological nursing interventions and their effects on behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia for people in nursing homes. Methods: In this literature study, eight quantitative intervention studies have been included. The articles are searched for in the databases Cinahl, Pubmed and APA PsycInfo and then quality reviewed, analysed and compiled. Results: From the results, it can be deduced that non-pharmacological interventions have shown significant improvements in symptoms such as depression, anxiety, agitation, delusions and motor restlessness. Only one study has shown worsening in the participants after intervention, resulting in among other things, increased agitation. Conclusion: Non-pharmacological nursing interventions have an effect on BPSD. From the studies included, it can be determined that future studies should include a larger number of participants with follow-ups after completion of interventions.

Full textBackground: Dementia is increasingly common, and the risk increases with age. Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) sometimes occur as a result of dementia. BPSD is divided into four main groups where hyperactivity containing wandering, verbal behavior and agitation/aggression, is one of the most difficult and challenging symptoms that both caregivers and family members are faced with. The purpose: The purpose was to compile nursing interventions that can limit hyperactivity in dementia care. Method: The method was a systematic literature review carried out under SBUs guidelines. The quantitative studies were analyzed with the support of the process of content analysis according to Graneheim & Lundman (2003). Results: The result revealed two main types of nursing interventions: General nursing interventions with three groups: Music reduces agitation and aggression, Dogs within close proximity can stabilize both agitation and aggression and Light therapy improves circadian rhythm and thereby decreases agitation. Personalized care interventions with two groups: Patient interest based interventions decreases behavioral problems and Montessori interventions which focus on the person as an individual reduces agitation. The result indicated that the general nursing interventions had a short term effect on patients. However, the interventions based on individualized care suggested a better and longer lasting effect. Conclusion: The right methods are a prerequisite to be able to help people and that they are formed evidence based for the right purpose. As the nursing interventions for hyperactivity only provide short term effect, the staff caring for the patient need to work actively as well as continuously with individualized interventions with respect to the patients background, which is consistent with the Social board’s guidelines (The Social board 2010).

Full textCare of the elderly with behavioral BPSD is many times a both demanding and timeextensive nursing work with high demands on nurses’ skills in response and in treatment. Many older people with BPSD experiencing mentally illness as can be difficult to deal with by health care workers, nurses and the person`s relatives. By examining various nursing strategies as district nurse`s and nurses using in healthcare of people with dementia can an idea be obtained which strategies and approaches may be of importance to elderly with dementia and what strategies and approaches there is reason to investigate further. Purpose: The study’s purpose was to highlight district nurses’ strategies to reduce behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia on the elder with dementia in short-term accommodation. Method: Qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach was used in the study. Eight district nurses and general nurses within short- time accommodation where interviewed. Results: From the analysis the theme Pursuit of harmony and Well-being of people with dementia was identified and three categories; Resources in nursing works, Focus the patient as a person, Involve relatives as co-workers with six subcategories. Conclusion: The study shows that person- centered care their individual inpatient care strategies are applied in order to reduce BPSD is a basic approach in care. Using BPSD, NPI estimation scale, relatives’ support, life story and their drugs are not a first choice can induce care and treatment plans can be established that matter for elderly with BPSD.

Full textEnligt litteraturen var det viktigt att ge stöd och handledning till de som vårdar den sjuke. För att kunna hjälpa individer med demens och ett aggressivt beteende krävdes att personalen förstod orsaken till BPSD. För att få en bredare förståelse var det viktigt att studera reflektioner och erfarenheter, hur man hanterade problematiska situationer som aggressivt beteende. Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva omvårdnaden av personer med BPSD, med fokus på aggressivitet. Studien baserades på femton vetenskapliga artiklar i form av primärkällor och sekundärkällor, vilka hittades genom litteratursökning i referensdatabaserna Cinahl och PubMed. För att analysera litteraturen användes kvalitativ innehållsanalys som resulterade i tre huvudkategorier. Resultatet åskådliggjorde vikten av adekvat utbildning hos vårdpersonal. För att på ett professionellt och empatiskt sätt kunna hantera och bemöta vårdtagare med demens, som uppvisade ett aggressivt beteende. Dessutom var förhållningssätt och handlingsplan viktiga aspekter i omvårdnaden av denna patientgrupp. Resultatet visade att personal hade olika förhållningssätt i mötet med den demente i vissa omvårdnadssituationer. Det kunde i många fall vara den utlösande faktorn till ett aggressivt och agiterat beteende. Genom att ha en god coping förmåga så kunde man se det aggressiva beteendet som en naturlig reaktion hos den demente utifrån den dementes kaotiska livsvärld. Resultatet påvisade att olika interventioner var att föredra framför farmakologisk behandling. Resultatet synliggjorde att olika miljöer med många varierande intryck skapade stress som resulterade till aggressivitet och agitation hos den demente. Vår studies slutsats visade att ett mellanmänskligt samspel var bekräftande för både vårdpersonal och den demente.

Full textDemenssjukdom är ett växande problem inom såväl hälso- och sjukvården som för samhället i stort. Det finns tillgång till symtomlindrande behandling men demenssjukdomar går idag inte att bota utan kan innebära ett stort livslångt lidande för de drabbade men även för deras anhöriga samt en ständig utmaning för vårdpersonal. De flesta drabbas någon gång under sin sjukdomsperiod av beteendemässiga eller psykiska symptom, som till exempel utmanande eller avvikande beteende. Det är viktigt att komma på vad som orsakar symtomen för att kunna lindra, förebygga eller minska lidandet. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva vårdpersonalens erfarenheter av personcentrerad vård vid Beteendemässiga och Psykiska Symtom vid Demenssjukdom (BPSD) och studiens resultat baseras på en sammanställning av 12 kvalitativa artiklar. Resultatet visade att vårdpersonal beskrev egna och yttre förutsättningar och hinder och motstridiga känslor i arbetet. Att ha helhetssyn, förståelse och kunskap gentemot personer med demenssjukdom underlättar omvårdnaden. Vårdpersonal strävar efter att behandla personer med demenssjukdom utifrån det som passar personen och situationen bäst. Att anpassa mötet och se människan bortom sjukdomen är en viktig utgångspunkt som resulterar i bättre vårdkvalitet. Kunskap och kännedom om tidigare livshistoria är en förutsättning för att lära känna och förstå personen och arbeta personcentrerat vid BPSD. Olika strategier och rutiner används som redskap för att skapa kontakt och tillgodose behov. Vårdpersonal har erfarenhet och medvetenhet om att omvårdnaden av personer med demenssjukdom är komplex och kräver kunskap och tålamod. Det ställs stora krav på vårdpersonalens anpassningsförmåga då det som fungerar ena gången, kanske inte fungerar gången därpå. Vårdpersonalens erfarenheter handlade även om behovet av stöd och samarbete, att möta organisatoriska miljöfaktorer och ha tillgång till bakgrundsinformation om patienten. Samarbete mellan kollegor främjar personcentreringen och bidrar till en förbättrad arbetssituation. Svårigheten i att påverka organisatoriska beslut är märkbar och brist på resurser, samarbete och förståelse från organisationens sida bidrar till att vårdpersonal får svårt att arbeta personcentrerat. Detta tillsammans med vårdpersonalens erfarenheter av hur välfungerande personcentrerad vård gynnar arbetet med personer med BPSD skapar motstridiga känslor i arbetet. Vårdpersonalen kände sig ibland otillräcklig och maktlös men kunde även känna framgång och tillfredsställelse

Full textIntroduction: Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) are common in people with Alzheimer’s disease. This affects the individual, family members and caregivers adversely. Drug treatment should not be seen as a first choice, but the focus should instead be on nursing interventions. The aim was to describe nursing interventions that can alleviate behavioral and psychological symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease. The method was a literature review in which ten articles after critical review were included. The contents of the articles were analyzed and six categories of nursing interventions were formed: music therapy, physical activity, light therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, therapeutic conversation and animal assisted activity. The results showed that there were nursing interventions that affected BPSD for the moment but nothing that lasted over time. Conclusion: The study shows that there is limited research in which nursing interventions gives good effect on BPSD in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Full textBackground: In line with the increased proportion of elderly people in the population, the number of people with dementia is also expected to increase. Up to nine out of ten exhibit behavioural and psychological symptoms (BPSD), where for example agitation is common. Considering the problematic symptoms and that the communicative ability gradually decreases in a person with dementia, the caregivers need competence and an awareness of how communication should be used to provide best care. Aim: Illuminate the caregivers’ experiences about the communication with people who have behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Method: A literature review with a qualitative approach. Based on the bearing concepts in the research question with block search strategy, a literature search was conducted in three databases. When the relevance and quality review had been carried out, ten articles remained that later were analysed. Result: The caregivers demonstrated the experiences of communicating both verbally and on-verbally, but also the experiences of trying to understand what the person with dementia were communicating through aspects of presence, time and knowledge and experiences. Conclusion: Having knowledge, partly about the person with dementia but also about BPSD and communication methods has proved to be an essential and beneficial aspect of communication. In addition, it has been found that if caregivers are present and allocating time to the person with dementia, understanding is promoted, and communication facilitated.
