  • Using Virtual Reality to Improve the Quality of Life of Older Adults with Cognitive Impairments and their Family Members who Live at a Distance

    T D Afifi, Tamara Afifi et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2023

    This study examines whether using virtual reality (VR) with older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild to moderate dementia with a family member who lives at a distance can improve the quality of life of the older adult and the family member.

Participants dis…

METHODS: Subjects were 177 patient/caregiver dyads. Patient Mini Mental State Exam scores ranged from 0 to 29, wi…

  • Wandering

    REBECCA G LOGSDON, Linda Teri et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…1998Citada por: 3Referências: 2

    This study evaluated the frequency, predictors, and effects of wandering in a population-based sample of 193 individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although wandering occurred in subjects at all levels of cognitive impairment, analysis of variance indicated that for the group as a whole, greater frequency of wandering was associated with significantly more impairment in cognition, day-to-day functioning, and behavior. Caregiver distress also …

    S M McCurry, REBECCA G LOGSDON et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…1998Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    Although sleep problems are common among dementia caregivers, there has been no research thus far describing treatment of such problems using behavioral techniques. In this study, 36 elderly dementia caregivers with disturbed sleep were randomly assigned to either a brief behavioral intervention or a wait list control. The active treatment consisted of standard sleep hygiene, stimulus control, and sleep compression strategies as well as education…
