Abstract BACKGROUND Wrist‐worn actigraphy can be an objective tool to assess sleep and other behavioral psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD). We investigated the feasibility of using wearable agitated late‐stage patients. METHODS Agitated, Alzheimer's care home residents Greater London area ( n = 29; 14 females, mean age ± SD: 80.8 8.2; 93.1% White) were recruited wear watch for 4 weeks. Wearing time was extracted evaluate compliance, factors influencing compliance explored. RESULTS A...
ABSTRACT Objectives: Behaviours associated with agitation are common in people living dementia. The Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) is a 29-item scale widely used to assess completed by proxy (family carer or staff member). However, informants introduce possible reporting bias when blinding the treatment arm not possible, and potential accuracy issues due irregular contact between person dementia over period. An observational measure blinded researcher may address these issues,...
Abstract Background Current and former dementia policies in the United Kingdom (UK) recommend diagnosing early, or as close to onset of symptoms possible. Informal caregivers play an important role initiating diagnostic process providing support people living with dementia. Therefore, this study aimed explore caregiver perceptions benefits early diagnosis. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews 12 current informal UK 2020. analysed using thematic analysis. Results Benefits diagnosis...
Introduction Visual hallucinations ( VH ) have a significant impact on quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease PD ). A major reason this is the well‐established link cognitive impairment, but there still need more longitudinal studies examining specific domains which may be affected. The aim study was to profile decline in cognition associated cohort 69 individuals over 1 year. Method assessments were carried out every 3 months. Executive function and episodic memory assessed at...
Abstract Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients often experience clinically significant agitation, leading to distress, increased healthcare costs, and earlier institutionalisation. Current treatments have limited efficacy side effects.
