Abstract

Objectives

This study compared whether the categories of activities that persons with dementia engage in changed between home and after nursing home admission. Also investigated were the methods for assessing the wishes, needs, and abilities regarding activities, and informal caregivers’ satisfaction with the degree of assessment of activities during the transition.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey in which 81 informal caregivers of nursing home residents with dementia participated (37 % male, mean age 65.0 years, SD 10.1).

Results

Persons with dementia performed activities in fewer activity categories in the nursing home compared to home (Z = -3.74, p<.01). Conversation was the most used assessment method. Informal caregivers rated their satisfaction with the degree of assessment of activities during transition with a median score of 7 (IQR 5–8) on a scale from 0 to 10.

Conclusion

Monitoring the activities for persons with dementia during the transition is essential and activities should be assessed repeatedly over time to prevent potential activity decline.

痴呆症患者在家和入住养老院后的活动：一项调查研究。

研究目的本研究比较了痴呆症患者在家中和入住疗养院后所从事的活动类别是否发生了变化。此外，还调查了评估活动意愿、需求和能力的方法，以及非正规护理人员对过渡期间活动评估程度的满意度：81名养老院痴呆症患者的非正式照顾者（37%为男性，平均年龄65.0岁，标准差10.1）参加了横断面调查：结果：与在家相比，痴呆症患者在疗养院中进行的活动类别较少（Z = -3.74，p）：对痴呆症患者在过渡时期的活动进行监测是非常必要的，而且应随着时间的推移反复对其活动进行评估，以防止潜在的活动量下降。
