Abstract

Objectives: We report sociodemographic findings, care giver features and traditional factors effecting Alzheimer's disease patients admitted to Kocaeli University School of Medicine, dementia outpatient during one year period. Patients and Methods: Twenty-four patients clinically diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's disease using NINCDS/ADRDA criteria were attended to the study. We set up a questionnaire to assess sociodemographic properties of Alzheimer's disease patients. Questionnaire included personal information, (ii) medical and lifestyle factors (iii) activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living tests and (iv) care giver properties.Results: Findings about sex and smoking were in opposite direction with similar across studies. All the care givers were relatives of patients. None of them was living in a national social service.Conclusion: In Turkey, it is a kind of tradition giving care to their elderly relatives. In future countries may prefer the care giving to these patients in their social environment to avoid economic burden as in Turkey.

Özet

Amaç: Kocaeli Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Nöroloji AD Demans Polikliniği'ne bir yıl boyunca başvuran Alzheimer hastalarında sosyodemografik bulguları, bakıcı özellikleri ve geleneksel faktörlerin hastalığa etkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Hastalar ve Yöntem: NINCDS/ADRDA kriterlerine göre muhtemel Alzheimer hastalığı (AH) tanısı alan yirmi dört hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Alzheimer hastalarının sosyodemografik özelliklerini değerlendirmek için bir anket formu oluşturduk. Anket formu ; (i) kişisel bilgiler, (ii) tıbbi bilgiler ve yaşam tarzını etkileyen faktörler, (iii) günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ve enstrümantal günlük yaşam aktiviteleri testleri ve (iv) bakıcılara ait özellikler başlıklarını içermekteydi.Bulgular: Cinsiyet ve sigara ile ilgili veriler incelendiğinde benzer çalışmaların aksine bulgular elde edildi. Bakıcıların tümü hastaların akrabalarıydı ve hiçbir hasta bir sosyal bakım merkezinde yaşamıyordu.Sonuç: Türkiye'de yaşlılara akrabaları ve yakınları tarafından bakılması, bir tür geleneksel yaklaşımdır. Yakın gelecekte pek çok ülke özellikle demans hastalarında bakıma bağlı ekonomik yükü azaltmak için, Türkiye'de olduğu gibi hastaların kendi sosyal çevrelerinde bakılmasını tercih edebilir.
