Özet

Demans sendromu bilişsel, fiziksel, emosyonel ve sosyal fonksiyonlar olmak üzere pek çok açıdan yaşam kalitesini etkileyebilme potansiyeline sahiptir. Ancak demanslı bireylerde hastalık süreciyle birlikte giderek artan oranda görülen bilişsel yetersizlik, hafıza, dikkat, yargılama, içgörü ve iletişim gibi becerilerin bozulma nedeniyle yaşam kalitelerinin değerlendirilmesi zorlaşmaktadır. Diğer taraftan öznel olan yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde bilişsel yetersizlikleri de olsa demanslı bireylerinde kendilerini ifade etmeleri gerektiğine inanılmaktadır. Bu nedenle demanslı bireyin yaşam kalitesinin ölçülüp ölçülemeyeceği, ölçülecek ise nasıl ölçüleceği konusundaki tartışmalar devam etmektedir. Sağlık çalışanlarının demanslı bireylerin yaşam kalitesi ölçülebilir mi sorusuna cevap bulmaları gerekmektedir. Böylece demanslı bireylerin ihtiyaçları tam anlamıyla karşılanmış olacaktır. Bu çalışmada “demanslı bireylerin yaşam kalitesi ölçülebilir mi” sorusu güncel literatür ışığında tartışılmıştır.
