Chardon, Fabrice. "Evaluation des effets d'une pratique d'art-thérapie à dominante musicale auprès de personnes démentes séniles." Chambéry, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010CHAML007.
Full textThe elderly person suffering from dementia displays specific disorders which appear as a weakening of cognitive functions, severe enough to affect his behaviour and emotional, social relationships. The evolution of the illness, which always drifts towards an aggravation, therefore engenders a deterioration of the person's intellectuel capacities. The characteristic of art-therapy consists in soliciting and stimulating the healthy part of the person. For this reason, it is particularly adapted to and elderly person in a state of dementia, and could be integrated into a treatment protocol, allowing him to break from the daily negative situations from witch he suffers. This would also bring about the recognition that an elderly person in first and foremost a person. The practice of music centered art-therapy as presented in this thesis, allows the person suffering from senile dementia to assert his zest for life, and undoubtedly reinforce his feeling of existing, through the pleasure felt during artistic stimulation, although he is not capable, as before, of assimilating a bulk of knowledge

Full textAlzheimer's disease is characterized by a cognitive decline but equally behavioral disturbances being major difficulties in the taking care, affecting patients' activities of daily living, patients' and caregivers' quality of life. This background is asking the question of possible treatments and those most suitable. There are numerous non pharmacological treatment targeting various issues in dementia, nevertheless there are few proof of their efficacy especially for decrease of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. This thesis aims at establishing a rigorous assessment of the effectiveness of a non pharmacological treatment and the factors to be favored, in order to offer an appropriate care and to improve care as well as the quality of life of residents with a diagnosis of dementia and living in nursing home. Our first study, TNM-EHPAD, showed benefits of a staff teaching and training program to manage “positive” behavioral disturbances in residents with a diagnosis of dementia and living in nursing home, with a significant decrease of residents’ agitation and aggressiveness. The second study, STIM-EHPAD, showed benefits of a staff teaching and training program to manage apathy, with a significant decrease of residents emotional blunting and loss of initiative. A third study was realized to determine stimuli and conditions increasing the duration of engagement of residents in an activity. This study underlines that individualized and guided interventions increase the duration of engagement and lead to a positive attitude among residents, even those with a diagnosis of apathy. From a clinical point of view up to applied research, the effectiveness of our staff teaching and training program in the care of residents with dementia and living in nursing homes was proved through this thesis. In addition, our works confirmed that care should meet individual’s needs based on the research of residents’ interests, to increase their engagement and ensure a positive attitude. Those researches have also strengthened links and collaborations between the CMRR of Nice University Hospital and the nursing homes both at departmental and national level. Tools developed in this thesis are used and disseminated within this network
Zaguedoun, Myriam. "La Conviction délirante au fil du temps." Paris 7, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA070080.
Full textWe treat essentially the field of the apparition late in life of delusions. Old age, which is an important crossroads in life, is also the period of an economic redistribution of investments. Even if they appear tardily, delusions, whether insane or not, are not systematically synonymous with a psychotic state. They show confusion and unreal speech, that we hesitate to call "delusions". The delusional conviction dulls with age, and we observe a levelling of beliefs and unreal productions. This last point might enable us to put into question, either the definition of delusion itself, or what we use to call delusional ideas of elderly people. Only clinical medecine could give us some clarifications on these delusional uncertainties we observe daily. We show with evidence that we do have to clearly define the frontier between the normal and the pathological

Full textThis research examines the daily lives of seniors with Alzheimer's disease living at home. The social group "elderly Alzheimer 'newly identified, appears to be a serious challenge to overcome for the whole of society. Through an anthropological approach, which explores and compares the daily lives of sick people living in Montpellier to that of people living in Algiers, we were able to distinguish certain features of similarity and divergence. Depletion of informal caregivers (family) is more pronounced among caregivers Algeria, because of the lack of professional help. On the other hand, in France, they benefit from a broadly diversified institutional support, while the Algerian side the strong family support compensates for the virtual absence of mechanisms to help the elderly. This research is not representative of the entire population affected by Alzheimer's disease but the goal is to introduce new ways of thinking about a social group that continues to grow in a context marked by changes demographic and chronic diseases related to high age
Villeneuve, Roxane. "Qualité de vie des personnes âgées : étude de la transition entre domicile et institution." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019BORD0255.
Full textHaving to move into a retirement home is usually a dreaded and poorly tolerated situation, whether for the residents-to-be or their families. Indeed, nursing home admission challenges one’s social role, financial situation and sense of self. It raises fundamental questions about the likelihood to adjust to a place where no one wants to live, and to uphold a satisfactory quality of life in this context. Surprisingly, few studies, mainly cross-sectional ones, have dealt with the impact of nursing home admission on quality of life. Nevertheless, an objective assessment of these consequences requires access to longitudinal data, in order to capture changes over the course of the institutionalisation process. Therefore, this work relies on two complementary approaches: an epidemiologic approach, based on data from two population-based cohorts (PAQUID and AMI), and grounded clinical research, with the implementation of QoL-EHPAD, a prospective, observational, multicentre study. First, we assessed the relevance and validity of a subjective quality of life proxy, made up of six items: the four items of the positive affects subscale from the CES-D (Centre for Epidemiological Studies - Depression Scale), one item assessing subjective health, and one assessing life satisfaction. Based on data from PAQUID, the proxy was validated against known objective predictors of subjective quality of life: depression, number of comorbidities, dependence and negative life events for the cross-sectional analyses, and risk of death over ten years for the longitudinal analyses. A replication study using data from the AMI study confirmed these associations. We then used this proxy in the PAQUID study over a twenty-year period, to study the quality of life trajectory of people who entered a nursing home. Results showed a significant drop after admission, evidencing a disruption in quality of life related to nursing home admission. Nevertheless, despite this initial decrease, nursing home residents showed no greater decline over time compared to community-dwellers, denoting a relative adjustment to their new living conditions. Cohort studies, while helpful in capturing gross quality of life trajectories in large samples, do not inform us on the specifics surrounding the transition from home to nursing home, such as the decisional involvement of the resident, or the planned or unplanned character of the admission. The QoL-EHPAD study is a step towards the characterization of these specifics. Edition of regulatory documents and implementation of the different stages of the study, including baseline and follow-up visits of the first 25 dyads, were integral components of this doctoral research. This study should provide a better understanding on how the circumstances of admission shape subsequent subjective quality of life and adaptation in residents suffering from dementia. The implementation of two observational cohort studies in Guadeloupe, France, will provide further information on the living conditions and quality of life of elderly people in nursing homes, but also in foster care homes. Overall, this work questions the apprehension of individual trajectories in a context of collective care, especially since, despite ever-increasing needs, alternatives to nursing homes remain scarce
Zohoun, Ines. "Troubles du comportement chez les sujets âgés en Afrique Centrale." Thesis, Limoges, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LIMO0031/document.
Full textNeuropsychiatric symptoms are common among older adults with or without cognitive disorders. In sub-Saharan Africa, few population-based studies are focused on these symptoms and to our knowledge no study was conducted in Central Africa. Our main objectivewas to improve the knowledge of neuropsychiatric symptoms in Central Africa (Central African Republic: CAR and Republic of Congo: ROC). Specifically we aimed at describing the neuropsychiatric symptoms, their severity, their distress and associated factors; 2) evaluating the association between neuropsychiatric symptoms and Apolipoprotein E ε4; 3) evaluating the association between neuropsychiatric symptoms, mortality and cognitive decline among older adults We performed the studies, using data from the EPIDEMCA and EPIDEMCA-FU programmes. The prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms was 63.7% (95%CI: 59.5-67.8).The overall median score of severity was 9 [IQR: 6-12] and the overall median score of distress was 7 [IQR: 4-10]. Living in Gamboma (rural ROC), normal hearing and having friends in the community were protective while female sex, dementia, dependent personality, and physical disability were risk factors for neuropsychiatric symptoms. Delusions, depression, apathy, disinhibition and aberrant motor behavior were specifically associated with dementia. We are not able to confirm the relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms and Apolipoprotein E ε4. Neuropsychiatric symptoms were associated with mortality after two years of follow-up but not associated with cognitive decline. This thesis allowed us to improve the knowledge of behavioral disorders in Central Africa. Due to their burden among caregivers, a better management of these symptoms must be performed

Full textPeople with Down syndrome (DS), also known as trisomy 21, have seen their life expectancy increase beyond 50 years inducing the onset of AlzheimerOtype dementia (DTA). The consequences of this increase in life expectancy are multiple: difficulty of diagnosing dementia in a population with intellectual disabilities, difficulty of care for this population, etc. Thus, specialised institution and memory clinics remain powerless against the management and diagnosis of this population. Our thesis has aimed to address all the challenges related to this issue.Our work thus highlighted: 1 / this problem concerns both for the elderly than for the disabled, 2 / there is a real difficulty in diagnosing the presence of dementia in this population. To meet this challenge we have developed and tested a diagnostic aid tool. 3 / diagnostic problematic, professional training and support for people in charge of this population (activities, unsuitable premises, insufficient teacher ratio, increasing medicalization, etc.) via organizational modelling the life course of individuals suffering from SD and DTA. This model shows the impact on the evolution of organizations and host institutions and the lack of connection between the health sector and medicoOsocial. Hypothesis and possible solutions are discussed

Full textOur research relates to the conditions of acceptability of sexuality for the general public. Two situations have been studied: one concerns the elderly women and the other one is about people with learning disabilities. Eight hundred and four persons took part in our research. What have been asked to them was to judge the degree of acceptability of every scenario which was presented to them. Those describe fictitious situations where some persons have sexual intercourses, based on the handling of different factors. In the study relating to elderly women, it appears that the four handled factors play a role in the acceptability of sexual intercourses. Determining the cognitive model of integration is not possible. Most influential are the factors "ability of intimacy" and "kind of relation". It appeared that religious involvement had an effect on acceptability of sexual intercourses. Three groups of participants are characterized by the weights which they give to the various factors and by the pattern of answer. In the study related to the persons with learning disabilities, five of the six factors handled influence the participants. They are mainly integrated using a conjunctive model. The most influential factors are "use of contraceptive devices", "partner's possible handicap", "person's level of autonomy" and "partner's age". It appeared that individual variables such as religious involvement had an effect on judging the acceptability. Three groups of participants are distinguished in the weights which they grant to each of the different factors and by their pattern of answer. To conclude, the acceptability of sexual intercourses depends largely on the factors intervening in the scenarios. The level of acceptability fluctuates due to the situation studied. The cognitive rules used in the judgement differ according to the factors presented and from the studied situations

Full textThe old person, someone as the others, would know how to be only considered, or even principalement, from the point of view of his pathology, from its disability or of son âge. En effect, the French law in an universal conception of equality thank you does not in theory allow to favour an edge of the population according to its age, its religion, its origin. However this category de persons, very often fragile, vulnerable or out of state to express its will, deserves a particular attention. If the legislator does not envisage specific dispositions for the old person, it is however interested in the persons out of state to express their will. In this sense, the law of March 4th, 2002 proves to be particularly beneficial in geriatrics since she envisages the possibility of indicating a person of trust, who will be able to bring back will, in others, of the old person in the medical team when this one is out of state to express its will. In this sense, the law of March 4th, 2002 proves to be particularly beneficial in geriatrics since she envisages the possibility of indicating a person of trust, who will be able to bring back will, in others, of the old person in the medical team when this one is out of state to express its will. This new implement is also going to allow the development of medical research in geriatrics, particularly necessary, since the legislator envisages that an approval in research can be given by the person of trust. However if the new measurements, adopted by law, seem wholly beneficial, practice shows difficulties of application. That's how a more strict supervision of the implement seems necessary. Concerning the respect for the rights of the sick man at the end of life, the law n ° 2005- 370 of April 22nd, 2005 relating to the rights of the sick and at the end of life introduces for the first time, in France, directives anticipated beside collegiate procedure and of transparence of practices. This law was said "LEONETTI", dedicates to the treated person a right to the refusal of care which must be, particularly in geriatrics, handled with caution. In several countries, the legalization of euthanasia appears and risks it seeing stretching this disposition in France exists. It seems therefore key to put the emphasis and to reveal drift which it would procreate in geriatrics. The question of old age proves to be very important as much as the number of nobody old does not cease augmenting and, the concerning anxiety the taking care of these numerous persons and the respect for the rights which are them dûs grows. The old person is going to benefit from different rights offered to the patients, and notably from novelties of the law of January 2nd, 2002 which reinforces the rights of the users of the system of health and offers to assure the real access of these rights, of obligatory documents. The different re-form of our system of health be going to allow a remarkable improvement of our system of care in which the old person, as the other persons, can benefit. However, if our system of health dedicates an enlarging place to the old person, as manifest the improvement it of geriatric course of study, life remains nevertheless than difficulties of taking care of these old persons exist

Full textMany frequent diseases are considered as being multifactorial, that is resulting from the effect - and maybe the interaction - of several environmental and genetic risk factors. Due to growing interest in gene-environment interactions, a number of epidemiology methods have been developed. They will be reviewed, and their respective advantages and limitations discussed. As an illustration, we will present two examples of gene-environment interaction obtained in the GÉNIC study, concerning cerebral infarction and the genes coding for factor XIII and the endothelial nitric oxide synthase enzyme ; this will help us to discuss difficulties in detecting and interpreting gene-environment interactions. Because we are particularly interested in age-related diseases, we will present a model that allows to study the consequences of gene-environment interactions in the presence of competing risks of death for association studies of these diseases. According to this model, these phenomenon can bias the relation between a candidate gene and a disease, if the disease and the competing risks share an environmental risk factor, and if the latter is not taken into account in the analysis. It is a class of confounding bias, that results from an association between the genetic and the environmental risk factors. This model will allow us to put forward an explanation for findings reported by ourselves or others, and to underline the need to take environmental risk factors into account in studies investigating the role of genetic susceptibility in age-related multifactorial diseases

Full textThe work presented in this manuscript investigates the use of virtual huamans, and, more broadly, of video game technologies to improve the care of older adults with cognitive impairment. Our work revolved around two use cases of virtual humans: as non-self and as self. More specifically, we have designed, implemented and evaluated an embodied conversational agent, called LOUISE (LOvely User Interface for Servicing Elders), meant to serve as an accessible user interface in cognitive compensation systems for older adults with cognitive impairment, and a system for virtual reality-based psychological therapy addressing the consequences of falls, called Virtual Promenade. These two projects have been conducted according to the principles of living lab participatory design, involving several stakeholders in the design process (patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals)

Full textBackground Benzodiazepines and other sedative-hypnotics are associated with increased risks of adverse events. Heightened awareness towards risks may have changed prescribing habits over the years. However, these trends are not fully described, especially in vulnerable people such as multimorbid older adults. Objective We aimed at describing the annual prevalence of benzodiazepine and other sedative-hypnotic use in relation with multimorbidity among older adults in the province of Quebec, Canada, from 2000 to 2016. Method We conducted a population-based study using the Quebec Integrated Chronic Disease Surveillance System. We included all individuals aged ≥ 66 years covered by the public drug plan. For each year, we evaluated the age and sex-standardized proportion of benzodiazepine and other sedative-hypnotic users, defined as individuals with of at least one drug claim in the year. We stratified our results according to multimorbidity and used log-binomial regression to study trends. Results The proportion of individuals using benzodiazepines decreased from 34.8% in 2000 to 24.8% in 2016 (p for trend < 0.001). Multimorbid peopl (≥ two chronic diseases) remained the highest users over the years, with 43.3% and 30.6% of them being users in 2000 and 2016, respectively. Conversely, the proportion of users increased for other sedatives, particularly for trazodone and quetiapine, rising from 5.4% to 8.4% (p<0.001), and especially among multimorbid individuals (from 7.4% to 11.6%). Conclusion Older adults used less frequently benzodiazepines but more quetiapine and trazodone in recent years. The use of these medications, particularly in multimorbid people at risk of adverse events, has to be addressed.

Full textOur work in the field of health psychology focuses on the effects of the announcement of a diagnosis of dementia on the quality of life of the elderly in Bourg en Bresse ( France). We postulate that the manner in which announcement is made,could influence people’sexperience of the disease. Our study tries to examine the reactions of patients following this announcement.Several patient groups were developed for the study the effects of the announcement based on several criteria : cognitive impairment levels, attachment type, physician announcement style, timing of the announcement.Thus, a first group consisted of elderly people, referred to as the cross-sectional group ( that is to say, they were met once at the beginning at the time of their announcement or during their medical follow-up). A second group was the longitudinal group ( met at their announcement and then met every 3 months for almost 2 years for the longest follow-up) and the final control group, serving as a reference in order to understand the reactions of the patients.In order to complement the data from the previous groups, we also the caregivers of certain elderly people involved in the diagnostic process in order to study their reactions facing the announcement. Finally, we met with 3 groups of people also implicated in the announcement ( general practitioners, geriatricians and a family group) to study their language and impressions concerning the diagnostic announcement.The results show :- From a statistical point of vie, only the reactions of caregivers are significant in their more prevalent use of active coping : planning and in the use of mature defense mechanisms- Frome a statistical, descriptive and qualitative point of view, we observe that resilience indicators ( self-esteem and quality of life) are present in our subjects diagnosed with dementia when their cognitive decline is measured above 24/30 on the MMS and their cognitive decline is not too rapid.- Our longitudinal subjects show us that in order to be able to develop resilience after a diagnostic announcement of dementia, it is important to have :- A feeling of usefulness which can be linked, in part, to the way the person thinks other perceive his or her dementia disorder

Full textCurrently, there is essentially two diagnostic choices to explain cognitive impairment in the elderly: "depression"or " Alzheimer's Disease" (AD) the later being a clinical diagnostic that cannot be formally confirmed duringlife. Depression, whose spectral empowerment and biologisation allows the reductionist biomedical model tointegrate depression into pre-dementia chapters of AD, is presented as the modern and exclusive version ofpseudodementia that defines a potentially reversible non-organic dementia state. Our research shows that thisissue is complex and that several factors, unidentified so far, participated in a distortion of the psychiatricconcept of pseudodementia. The first factor is a lack of knowledge and a poor understanding of thepseudodementia primary paradigm: the Psychogene Pseudodemenz of German psychiatry (late 19th - early20th).The second factor is an incomplete and revised interpretation of the British secondary paradigm - theKiloh’s Pseudo-dementia (1961) - where the concept of depressive pseudodementia is introduced.The thirdfactor is an application of the " Alzheimer’s disease movement" (1975-1985), which has led, through the "dementia syndrome of depression " of American psychiatry, to the rise of the third paradigm : depression. The“Alzheimer’s disease movement” cancelled the possibility to use a conceptual framework within whichetiologies of dementia and psychopathological dimension of pseudodementia can be thought.This issue isbecoming increasingly important in the current context of the promotion of early diagnosis and preclinicaldiagnosis of AD.Our research, which supports an integrated approach to aging, proposes a new theoretical andpractical framework able to participate to the reformulation of aging issues and therefore on political, economicand social choices. Based on a qualitative analysis of case series, we show that Pseudodementia is closely tied toneurotic and psychotic inhibition, including depressive presentation but not limited to it. Today more than everthe notion of pseudodementia is required in the care of the elderly

Full textThe aging of the French population is a well- known topic but its effects are more important than is usually thought. The dwelling, the urban living habits, the services and amenities have to be adapted to seniors.The geographer tackles the problem through the relation of elder people to their living territory by using scientific tools provided by environmental psychology, and by referring to medical data.This research work has been made at the professional request of ICADE, one of the leading estate developers in France. The author applies very concrete methods, such as the use of mental maps and GPS trackers, so as to grasp the needs of seniors as accurately as possible. Several experiments have been conducted, at different scales and in different surroundings -Lyon and the Rhône-Alpes region, the Paris region, and also the city of Nice. The third part of the study consists in reflecting on the governance that would be the most efficient to implement the “gerontopôles” (structures associating geriatrics, medical and social care and gerontology)

Full textOne og the biggest challenge for our societies is the aging of the population. One is getting particularly important : the ageing of people with mental disorder. The increase of their life expectancy has several consequences in their access to care. Establishment which are specialized in the welcolme of elderly people are now welcoming people with mental disorder. The access to care is one of the most problematic aspect in this phenomenum : what medical devices are adapted for this new population ? Indeed, medical devices are adapted either for people with mental disorder, either for elderly people. For people with mental disorder getting older, there is a need to adapt the tools for them, to adapt the way of communicating with them and the way to monitore them. We are trying to propose new solutions to answer all these questions

Full textAging in our current society, in which death is constantly pushed backwards, places the elderly at risk of exclusion from the social sphere. "Aging young": here is the paradox we are facing every day. The way society views the elderly, especially those suffering from Alzheimer's disease, is pejorative, referring to dependence, decline and decay. Alzheimer's disease is often defined as “severing of connections” , often seen as an impediment to communication and relationships, especially with family members. " An individual is a social being" says Norbert Elias, sociologist. So taking into consideration the stigmatization of Alzheimer disease and the social representation that family members may have, it becomes possible to develop tools that would allow a different type of bond in the future. After several months of immersion, observations and meetings in different EHPAD, this study offers an approach to transform and build an alternative outlook on people suffering from Alzheimer's disease through an introduction to artistic and cultural measures

Full textCe mémoire concerne les options résidentielles s’offrant aux personnes aînées présentant une déficience intellectuelle (PADI) de la Ville de Québec. Sachant que l’espérance de vie des personnes présentant une DI a considérablement augmenté et qu’elles survivent désormais bien souvent à leurs parents, il devient primordial de s’intéresser à la planification de leur futur, notamment sur le plan résidentiel. Les objectifs de cette recherche sont : (1) connaître les options résidentielles actuellement disponibles pour les PADI; (2) comprendre leurs besoins comblés et non comblés en matière d’options résidentielles actuelles; (3) identifier des recommandations pour optimiser la satisfaction des PADI à l’égard de leur milieu de vie et soutenir l’exercice de leur pleine participation sociale. Premièrement, une analyse documentaire a permis d’identifier les différentes options résidentielles qui s’offrent aux PADI dans la Ville de Québec et de dresser le portrait de cette offre. Deuxièmement, des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été réalisées auprès de dix personnes présentant une DI et âgées de plus de 50 ans. Ensuite, l’analyse réalisée à l’aide du logiciel de données qualitatives Nvivo 11 a permis d’identifier des informations à propos du milieu de vie habité, l’appréciation de celui-ci et le milieu de vie souhaité par les PADI pour leurs vieux jours. Enfin, les différents constats mis en lumière aux termes de cette étude sont discutés. Il est question de l’absence de planification du futur, de la participation sociale, des facteurs influençant positivement et négativement la qualité de vie, de l’intérêt des participants pour les soins de santé et des options résidentielles souhaitées. Finalement, deux recommandations principales sont émises afin de faciliter la transition résidentielle des personnes présentant une DI dans leur avancée en âge. Il s’agit de sensibiliser les familles à la planification du futur et d’offrir des options résidentielles favorisant la participation sociale et le bien-être des PADI.
This project concerns the available housing options for seniors with intellectual disability (ID) in Quebec City. Knowing that the life expectancy of people with ID has increased significantly and that they now outlive their parents, it is essential to take an interest in the planning of their future, which includes housing. The goals of this project are to: (1) be made aware of the housing options currently available for seniors with ID; (2) understand their needs, met and unmet, with respect to the currently available housing options; (3) identify strategies to optimize the satisfaction of seniors with ID concerning their living environment and to support the exercise of their full social participation. First, a literature review was completed. This review made it possible to identify the various housing options available to seniors with ID in Quebec City and to get an accurate picture of what is offered. Second, semi-directed interviews were conducted with ten people with ID who were over 50 years of age. Afterward, the analysis carried out using the Nvivo 11 Qualitative Data Analysis Software made it possible to identify information about the living environment of seniors with ID as well as their appreciation of it and the living environment that they desire for their old days. Furthermore, the various findings highlighted by this study are discussed. These highlights include the lack of planning for the future, social participation, factors that positively and negatively influence the quality of life, the participants' interest in health care and desired housing options. Finally, two central recommendations are proposed in order to facilitate housing transition for people with ID as they age. It is a matter of educating families about the importance of planning for the future and offering housing options that promote the social participation and well-being of seniors with ID

Full textThis thesis aims to show that the diagnosis "Alzheimer" unjustly causes the rejection of the person and the foreclosure of the subject of the unconscious in our Western society. The place of the one who is diagnosed, evaluated, and also explained according to scientific theories is questioned through reference to a variety of disciplines, as well as psychopathological analysis of six clinical cases. I note the hypothesis that the "Alzheimer's" entity is based on a phenomenon of « pathologization » of old age, underpinned by economic and political logic and reflecting the biomedical model of our society. It leads to exclusion and stigma. I demonstrate cognitive and neuroscientific reductionism : the phenomena of the mind cannot be fully comprehended by objectivity while the clinic demonstrates the singularity and contingency at the origin of démentia’s manifestations. A psychoanalytic analysis of clinical cases allows us to hear a coherence - a fantasy logic - in the mnemonic changes, as well as the unconscious psychic processes constituting the subject and his reality, in changes in the relationship to time. Shifting from a scientific interpretation allows us to hear through these manifestations the fundamental questions of the subject and its symbolic determining. Against the exclusion, the stigmatization of our elders by the nosological entity "Alzheimer", wrongly regarded as "spiritless", olds in "deficit", it is an ethical necessity to agree in them to the whole subjective and human dimension to reassign them place and dignity

Full textIn a secondary analysis of a cluster randomized trial, we explored factors influencing the burden of care experienced by caregivers of incapacitated elderly people unable to make a decision about whether to stay in their home or not. The purpose of the parent trial was to evaluate a shared decision-making intervention among interprofessional home care teams in eastern Quebec. This intervention aimed to increase the involvement of elderly people and their caregivers in decision-making about choosing living arrangements for the elderly person. Participating caregivers were caring for an elderly person whom a professional from the home care team considered incapable of making this decision alone. Burden of care was measured using the Zarit scale. In the present study, focusing on burden of care, the choice of independent variables and analyses were guided by Pallett’s model, which conceptualizes factors influencing burden of care among caregivers of incapacitated elderly people. Our results showed that factors associated with burden of care were : characteristics of the caregiver (sex, decision regret, decisional conflict, the caregiver’s preference as to a living arrangement for the elderly person, the time elapsed between the decision and when burden of care was measured); the type of relationship between the caregiver and the elderly person (parent, spouse); available social support for the caregiver (whether shared decision-making occurred). This study contributes to our understanding of the burden of care experienced by caregivers of incapacitated elderly people who are facing a decision about staying in their home or not. Its results will inform the development of interventions to prevent and/or reduce this burden of care.

Full textNormal aging as Alzheimer’s disease are characterized by memory disorders, primarily for episodic memory. These two populations also present a sensory and perceptive decline, which are strongly correlated with their cognitive impairment. The links between memory and perception may be easily explained in the embodied cognition theory. Indeed, embodiment states that knowledge dynamically emerges from a single memory system in which knowledge remains grounded in its properties, essentially sensory-motor properties. Consequently, perception and memory are closer than previously thought and the links between perception and memory moving to the foreground. The objective of the present research is to assess the embodied cognition theory applied to normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease. To this aim, the nature of the semantic multisensory interactions was tested. According to the multiple memory systems framework, these interactions are indirect and semantic, whereas the embodied cognition theory states that these interactions are direct and perceptual. Young adults, healthy elderly and patients with Alzheimer’s disease completed two experiments. Each experiment was composed of a complete neuropsychological battery and one cross-modal priming paradigm (audition to vision). The novelty of the paradigm was to present a visual meaningless mask for half of the sound primes. Experiment 1 was composed of two distinct phases, whereas the prime and the target were presented in the same trial in Experiment 2. The adaptation of the paradigm in Experiment 2 allowed manipulating the semantic congruency in order to test the attention hypothesis that might underlie the cross-modal interactions. The results demonstrated a significant cross-modal priming effect in young and healthy elderly adults. The mask has interfered with the priming effect only in the semantic congruent situations. The mask interference and its specificity support the direct and perceptual nature hypothesis of the semantic multisensory interactions. This is suggesting that young and elderly adults have modal knowledge. Reversely, the patients with Alzheimer’s disease did not show any priming effect while the effect is perceptual. This result supports the cerebral disconnection hypothesis in Alzheimer’s disease. The data taken together suggest that memory disorders in normal aging could be related to a degradation of the quality of their perception and thus of knowledge. Memory impairments in Alzheimer’s disease might come from an integration disorder to bind dynamically the different components of a memory. The present research support the embodied cognition theory and demonstrates the interest of this kind of approach to explore memory functioning in neuropsychology, such as in aging. These approaches open new avenues of research by focusing on processes rather than systems and by putting on the foreground the interactions between memory and perception.

Full textIn France, since early 2000s spreads a literature inviting professionals in contact with people suffering from Alzheimer disease to "personalize" the way they take care of them. This term refers to a humanization that seems to fade away in this particular context. What is asked to medical and paramedical staff, is a true and authentic commitment toward these patients. What is aimed, is a control of emotions and the way they are expressed.This Ph.D explores the way in which "personalization" is practically accomplished in the context of Alzheimer’s Special Care Units. Based on interviews and observations, it shows the banality of "commitment", and also the complexity of it’s execution. From the ethics of care perspective, an invisible work makes life possible for every protagonist living in that kind of environment. This cleverness of the situation drives away the danger of reification, and prevents burnout.Far from the chimerical "professional distance", this field work shows an articulation between commitment and detachment (Elias, 1956). Emotions appears to be a necessity in order to carry out the tasks, but also a danger that requires to be put away. Thus, Alzheimer’s units are characterized by the relative importance of autonomous regulation, in comparison with control regulation (Reynaud, 2004) : formalization process struggle due to the elusive and local nature of the ethics of care
