In this article, the author describes an innovative program for wandering. A walker's group was developed in response to the explicit but nonverbal message from persons with dementia about their need for physical activity. The group was initiated in a nursing home, with volunteers to implement the program under the direction of clinical staff. The article details the volunteer orientation program and specific methods of implementation. The walker's group has been active for more than 4 years and is considered a valuable resource for managing residents who wander during the early evening hours.
在本文中,作者描述了一项针对徘徊行为的创新项目。针对痴呆症患者关于其身体活动需求的明确但非语言信息,成立了一个步行者小组。该小组在一家养老院启动,志愿者在临床工作人员的指导下实施该项目。文章详细介绍了志愿者培训项目和具体实施方法。步行者小组已经活跃了4年多,被认为是管理傍晚时分徘徊的居民的宝贵资源。
