Since 2008 nursing homes may receive resources for assistance in additional low threshold psychosocial care for residents with dementia. By now, most institutions make use of this. However, the effects of this additional psychosocial care on the emotional and cognitive state of mind of persons with dementia have not yet been investigated systematically.
Using a longitudinal control group design the effects of additional low threshold psychosocial assistance were recorded and analysed for ten months.
There appears to be a positive relation between the work of the psychosocial care assistants and the emotional state of mind (Geriatric Depression Scale) and the cognitive performance (Mini-Mental State Test) of residents with dementia. In addition, other employees appraised the additional psychosocial care and experienced some relief of strain.
More investigation is needed, but it seems worthwhile to intensify low threshold psychosocial care.
自2008年起,养老院可为患有痴呆症的居民提供额外的低门槛心理社会护理方面的资源援助。目前,大多数机构都在利用这一资源。然而,这种额外的心理社会护理对痴呆症患者情绪和认知状态的影响尚未得到系统研究。
采用纵向对照组设计,对额外的低门槛心理社会援助的效果进行了为期十个月的记录和分析。
心理社会护理助理的工作与痴呆症患者的情绪状态(老年抑郁量表)和认知表现(简易精神状态检查)之间似乎存在正相关关系。此外,其他员工对额外的心理社会护理给予了评价,并感到工作压力有所减轻。
需要进行更多的研究,但加强低门槛心理社会护理似乎是值得的。
