Abstract
Purpose: Research on the concept of expressed emotion (EE) has expanded in recent years but its role in dementia still requires elucidation. Understanding the role of EE in the dementia context could help in the development of appropriate interventions.
Method: The current review synthesized relevant literature to investigate the prevalence and correlates of EE status in families of people with dementia. A comprehensive search of four databases from inception to 2022 produced 2,683 papers; 18 studies met inclusion criteria.
Results: The use of EE criteria differed not only across cultural contexts, but even within the same cultural context. Overall, the prevalence of EE in families with dementia compared with other psychiatric conditions was not high.
Conclusion: Specific changes in EE over time remain to be explored, and findings emphasize the need to carefully discriminate High EE status based on the cultural background of family members with dementia. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(2), 17-25.].
目的:近年来,关于情感表达(EE)概念的研究不断扩大,但其在痴呆症中的作用仍有待阐明。了解情感表达在痴呆症中的作用有助于制定适当的干预措施:本综述综合了相关文献,以调查痴呆症患者家庭中 EE 状况的普遍性和相关性。从开始到 2022 年,对四个数据库进行了全面检索,共检索到 2,683 篇论文;18 项研究符合纳入标准:结果:不仅在不同的文化背景下,甚至在同一文化背景下,EE 标准的使用也不尽相同。总体而言,与其他精神疾病相比,痴呆症患者家庭的 EE 发生率并不高:结论:随着时间的推移,EE的具体变化仍有待探索,研究结果强调了根据痴呆症患者家庭成员的文化背景仔细区分高EE状态的必要性。[老年护理杂志》(Journal of Gerontological Nursing),50(2),17-25。
