Conversational topics chosen by a group of adults with degenerative cognitive-linguistic disorders for personalized communication board development were examined. The patient-generated themes commonly selected are presented to guide treatment planning and communication board development.
Communication boards were created for 109 adults as part of a larger research project. One autobiographical topic that each participant would enjoy discussing multiple times was represented on each communication board with 16 pictures and word labels. For this review, topics were collapsed into general themes through a consensus process and examined by gender and age.
Sixty unique conversational topics were identified from 109 participants and collapsed into 9 general themes: Hobbies, Family, Travel, Work, Home/Places I've Lived, Sports/Fitness, Religion, Animals, and World War II. Age and gender produced variations in themes chosen, though no significance in rank orders was found across groups.
Topics selected by adults with degenerative cognitive-linguistic disorders for communication boards resemble common conversational adult themes and do not center around basic needs or medical issues. Differences in gender and age for topic selection tend to be based on traditional roles. These general themes should be used when creating personalized communication boards for those who benefit from conversational aids.
研究一组患有退行性认知语言障碍的成年人选择用于个性化交流板开发的对话主题。呈现患者通常选择的主题,以指导治疗计划和交流板开发。
作为一个更大研究项目的一部分,为109名成年人制作了交流板。每个交流板上用16张图片和文字标签呈现一个每位参与者愿意多次讨论的自传主题。在本次综述中,通过共识过程将主题归纳为一般主题,并按性别和年龄进行研究。
从109名参与者中确定了60个独特的对话主题,并归纳为9个一般主题:爱好、家庭、旅行、工作、家/我居住过的地方、体育/健身、宗教、动物和第二次世界大战。年龄和性别在所选主题上产生了差异,尽管各群体在主题排序上没有发现显著差异。
患有退行性认知语言障碍的成年人为交流板选择的主题类似于常见的成人对话主题,并不围绕基本需求或医疗问题。主题选择上的性别和年龄差异往往基于传统角色。在为受益于对话辅助工具的人创建个性化交流板时,应使用这些一般主题。
