Alzheimers Disease

Alzheimers Disease


ALZHEIMERS CARE

Today, Alzheimer's is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. This brain disease destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior. It is the most common form of dementia. There is currently no cure, but new treatments are on the horizon as a result of accelerating insight into the biology of the disease. Research has also shown that effective care and support can improve quality of life for individuals and their caregivers over the course of the disease from diagnosis to the end of life.

After viewing the program, the learner will be able to:
  • Understand what Alzheimer's disease is
  • Know the three stages of the disease
  • Know how it affects the person's communication skills and successful strategies to intervene
  • Learn approaches for the caregiver on the person's activities of daily living
  • Understand common behavior problems in dementia residents and learn interventions for each problem

    ALZHEIMER'S AND DEMENTIA: SUPPORT GROUPS FOR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS

    Family and friends go through many emotions when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease or dementia. Often, family and friends do not know where to turn to learn more about the problems and have no one to talk to. Support groups are places where people can come together to discuss feelings, learn more about the disease, and exchange thoughts and ideas. This course focuses on support group structure, membership, and resources.

    After completing this activity, the participant should be able to:
    1. describe the role of healthcare professionals in a support group for AD and dementia.
    2. identify the membership of support groups for AD and dementia.
    3. list strategies to overcome excuses that family members commonly express to avoid support group involvement.
    4. describe the various activities/discussions at typical support group meetings.
    5. explain advocacy activities in which advanced support groups become involved.
    6. discuss outside resources that can aid in creating family support groups

    THOUSAND TOMORROWS, A: INTIMACY, SEXUALITY AND ALZHEIMER'S

    One of the major changes that Alzheimer's disease brings to a spousal relationship is how it affects intimacy and sexuality. Through candid interviews with spouse caregivers and where possible, the spouse who has Alzheimer's, this video explores issues such as:

  • blurring of roles between caregiver and intimate partner as the need for caregiving increases
  • changes in behavior that affect intimacy between the partners
  • changes in sexual attraction between the partners

    • The video opens up sensitive and sometimes taboo issues surrounding intimacy, sexuality, and Alzheimer's disease so that those couples and individuals dealing with these issues can feel more free to talk about them in support groups or with professionals.
