Interesting study on the stigma associated with dementia. Please support Anju Wadhawan with this survey!

🔹 Dementia is a disorder that thousands of people suffer from and that diminishes their cognitive and behavioural faculties, being vital the care and special and personalised attention of experts trained to adapt to the situation of each patient and up to date with the latest methods and treatments. For this reason, at TECH we have designed an exhaustive programme that will allow you to:  ◼️Indagar on risk factors and the possibility of prevention.  ◼️Explorar the tools for assessment and cognitive rehabilitation in dementias.  ◼️Profundizar in the study of Alzheimer's disease and markers to assess progression and response to treatment.   ◼️Interpretar lesions that characterise different neurodegenerative pathologies.   🔸 Enrol now and make a difference in your professional career! https://bit.ly/3vrbDcg 🗓️ 1 year 🔝 The world's top-rated university by its students according to Trustpilot  #techtitute #health #dementia #alzheimer's #alzheimer's   

To reduce mental health disparities, PMHNP students must be prepared to deliver affirming care. Engaging in and reflecting on simulated encounters with standardized patients can improve PMHNP students' affirming care competency. #GWNursing Associate Professors, Dr. Rhonda Schwindt, Dr. Laurie Posey, and Dr. Pearl Zhou were recently co-published in Nursing Education Perspectives for their study titled, "Just Another Patient? Student Reflections on Providing Mental Health Care to Transgender and Gender Expansive Patients During a Simulated Encounter". Read it below! ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gaKR3QZ6

As a teacher, one of the happiest moments is seeing student progress. Recent publication at BMC Health Services Research: Designing an mHealth application for informal carers concerning the management of behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia: a need analysis survey https://lnkd.in/g5iR52sm Informal carers face different difficulties and challenges when dealing with the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) of their loved ones. mHealth apps are promising for educating and supporting informal carers. This study explored the needs for designing an mHealth application for informal carers of people with dementia concerning the management of BPSDs in Sri Lankan Context.

Transitioning from theory into practice is not easy, especially when it relates to dementia. There are so many variables that can impact on outcomes. What works well for one person may have to be adjusted for another, pointing to the need for a bespoke approach. In order to arrive at our destination, sometimes we have to cross an ocean, first letting go of a familiar and comfortable place – this is challenging, but necessary. The attempts of medical science to solve dementia have been unsuccessful to date, and we now have to set our minds on a new path. #dementia #alzheimers #endalz #research #brainhealth

We are pleased to share that we launched the Design Activities for Cognitive Stimulation on 17 April 2024 - in collaboration with the Agency for Integrated Care (Singapore) - to equip Community Resource, Engagement & Support Team (CREST) members with the skills to design, implement and facilitate cognitive stimulation activities for persons living with dementia.    Studies have shown that non-pharmacological interventions involving reminiscence, reality orientation, and other forms of cognitive stimulation can improve the cognition, quality of life, and social interaction of persons with mild to moderate dementia.   Being firm believers in continuous learning, we endeavour to empower our staff and healthcare professionals with the relevant skills to support the growing number of persons diagnosed with dementia. #DementiaSingapore #DementiaSG #DementiaInclusive #DementiaFriendly #DementiaCare #DementiaCommunity #DementiaFriendlyCommunity #DementiaFriendlySingapore #DementiaSupport #DementiaAwareness #DementiaCare #CommunityCare #DementiaSupport

#Online #Psychoeducational #Programmes and #Multicomponent #Exercise for the #Patients with #Mild #Dementia and their #Caregivers: A #systematic #Review A #review article written by ✍ Dimitriou TD #Background: Dementia is a #chronic disorder which, mainly, affects people over 65 years old. It is estimated that it affects over 50.000.000 people around the world. #Methods: MEDLINE, #PsycINFO, #CINAHL and #Cochrane Library were searched to identify randomized controlled trials published during 2015-2023 #Results: Four RCTs have been found, which combined #psychoeducation with multicomponent training programme. The studies #aimed to find if the #combination enhanced the #cognitive abilities of the patients, and the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers.... #Conclusions: The combination showed promising results in three out of four studies, however there is a strong need for more studies with better study design and #measurements, which will examine if the combination has positive results on decreasing the #behavioural #symptoms and if the positive results last.

Dear valuable connections, As I continue my Ph.D. journey, I could use your help. I'm seeking participants for my study! This study focuses on the experience of autistic children and their families in waiting environments of outpatient clinics. Among autistic children, outpatient services are one of the most utilized, with about six times more visits annually than non-autistic peers and twice as many as those with other developmental conditions. Despite these frequent healthcare visits, autistic individuals often report lower satisfaction and unmet needs compared to non-autistic individuals. Within this environment, the waiting period emerges as a pivotal aspect of the patient experience and a critical step in the care process that can pose a barrier for the rest of the visit and health outcomes. Stress and anxiety during this time can lead to behavioral disturbances, such as becoming anxious and agitated, engaging in repetitive behaviors not socially well-received, running around, screaming, harming others, physical withdrawal, and even physiological impacts such as an increase in blood pressure. Recognizing the significance of these challenges and the urgent need to improve the healthcare experience for autistic individuals, this project aims to explore environmental factors that could potentially mitigate anxiety and serve as coping resources. This research is a collaborative effort with Prisma Health aimed at addressing these issues by developing design principles and guidelines. We are looking for architects, healthcare design professionals, clinical staff, and child/parent dyads to participate in interviews. If you are interested, please check out the study information sheet attached to this post for more information. You can register to participate here: https://lnkd.in/dkehRvmi I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
