Abstract

Introduction: Dementia is one of the priority issues among the public health concerns.This study aims to assess the impact of the Dementia Care and Support Program in caregiversand patients with dementia.Materials and Methods: This study is an intervention study. Dementia Care and SupportProgram was a planned 16-week program. Sixty-one patient–caregiver pairs were randomizedinto two groups, the intervention (n=31) and control groups (n=30). Dementia Care andSupport Program was applied to the intervention group, but the control group receivedroutine hospital care. Data were collected between July and November 2016 from a dementiaoutpatient clinic. While data for patients were collected using the quality-of-life assessmentin Alzheimer’s disease and Neuropsychiatric Inventory, data for caregivers were collectedusing the quality of life SF-36, Beck Depression, Beck Anxiety, and Zarit Caregiver Burden CareInventory.Results: Fifty-four patient–caregiver pairs completed the study. The mean age of thepatients was 76.7±11.2 (46–96) years old. There was no statistically significant difference inthe quality-of-life scores and neuropsychiatric symptom scores between the patient groups(p>0.05). The mean age of caregivers was 53.6±14.8 (22–81) years old. Statistically significantdifferences were found in NPI-D, quality-of-life mental health, quality-of-life physical health,depression, and anxiety scores between the caregiver groups (p0.05).Conclusion: This study established that Dementia Care and Support Program has positiveeffects on caregivers.

Özet

Giriş: Demans halk sağlığı sorunları arasında öncelikli bir konudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı demanslı hastaların bakım vericilerine uygulanan Demans Bakım ve Destek Programı’nın etkisini değerlendirmekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma 16 haftalık bir müdahale çalışmasıdır. Çalışmada 61 hastabakım verici çifti iki gruba randomize edildi. Girişim grubu 31, kontrol grubu 30 kişiden oluştu. Girişim grubuna Demans Bakım ve Destek Programı uygulanırken, kontrol grubuna rutin hastane bakımı verildi. Veriler Demans polikliniğinde 2016 Temmuz-2016 Kasım tarihleri arsında toplandı. Veri toplamada hastalar için Alzheimer Hastalığı Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ve Nöropsikiyatrik Envanter kullanılırken; bakım vericiler için Yaşam Kalitesi SF 36 Ölçeği, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği, Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği, Zarit Bakım Yükü Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma 54 bakım verici-hasta çifti ile sonlandırıldı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 76.7±11.2 (46-96) idi. Hastaların yaşam kalitesi puanlarında ve nöropsikiyatrik semptom ciddiyeti (NPI-S) puanlarında gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Bakım vericilerin yaş ortalaması ise 53.6±14.8 (22-81) idi. Bakım vericilerin distress (NPI-D) puanlarında, yaşam kalitesi puanlarında, depresyon ve anksiyete puanlarında gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu (p 0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, Demans Bakım ve Destek Programı’nın demans hastalarının bakım vericileri üzerinde olumlu etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
