Dementia is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms that include problems with memory, self-care, reasoning and communication. Care interventions that focus on preserving people's dignity and identity are therefore essential. Using Driscoll's reflective model to guide critical thinking, this article reflects on the use of one intervention, namely life story work, to promote person-centred care for people with dementia. It explores the value or effect of life story work for healthcare staff, the person with dementia and family members. It also highlights best practice guidelines that are useful to consider to promote its optimal success as an intervention in dementia care, for example, instigating it early in the dementia journey and embedding it in a supportive culture. It is important to highlight to nursing students the many positive aspects of incorporating life story work into practice.
痴呆症是一个用于描述一系列症状的术语,这些症状包括记忆、自我护理、推理和沟通方面的问题。因此,专注于维护人们尊严和身份的护理干预至关重要。本文运用德里斯科尔的反思模型来指导批判性思维,反思了一种干预措施,即生活故事工作法,以促进对痴呆症患者的以人为本的护理。它探讨了生活故事工作法对医护人员、痴呆症患者及其家庭成员的价值或影响。它还强调了一些最佳实践指南,这些指南有助于将其作为痴呆症护理干预措施取得最佳成效,例如,在痴呆症病程早期启动该方法并将其融入支持性文化中。向护理专业学生强调将生活故事工作法融入实践的诸多积极方面非常重要。
