Professionals working with people with dementia need to develop new activities that occupy patients and increase positive emotions. Dementia care mapping is a reliable method of measuring well-being during activities with people with dementia. The iPad has many applications that may be suitable as a group activity for persons with dementia. Six people with dementia took part in two traditional and two iPad activities over two days. Well-being was recorded using dementia care mapping. Subjects displayed similar or better levels of well-being during iPad activities than traditional activities. A larger variation of behaviors was seen during iPad activities than traditional activities. With detailed planning using a person-centred care approach, iPad group activity has the potential to be as effective and engaging as other conventional activities in achieving well-being.
与痴呆症患者打交道的专业人员需要开展新活动，让患者有事可做并增强积极情绪。痴呆症护理映射是衡量与痴呆症患者活动期间幸福感的可靠方法。iPad有许多应用程序可能适合作为痴呆症患者的集体活动。六名痴呆症患者在两天内参加了两项传统活动和两项iPad活动。使用痴呆症护理映射记录幸福感。与传统活动相比，受试者在iPad活动期间表现出相似或更高水平的幸福感。与传统活动相比，iPad活动期间观察到的行为变化更大。通过采用以人为本的护理方法进行详细规划，iPad集体活动在实现幸福感方面有可能与其他传统活动一样有效且有吸引力。
