据估计，有 530 万美国人患有阿尔茨海默病或相关疾病 (ADRD)，其中约 50 万人年龄在 65 岁以下。此外，到本世纪中叶，受该疾病影响的人数将增加 350%。尽管对有关照顾者的组织政策进行了研究，但对于组织如何处理表现出 ADRD 症状的员工本身却知之甚少。本文报道了一项关于雇主对痴呆症反应的试点研究，因为痴呆症会影响护理员工和本身表现出认知障碍迹象的员工。
It is estimated that 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder (ADRD) with approximately 500,000 of these persons younger than 65. Moreover, the number of people affected by the disease will increase 350% by the middle of this century. Although research exists on organizational policies with regard to caregivers, very little is known about how organizations deal with employees themselves who show symptoms of ADRD. This article reports on a pilot study of employers' responses to dementia as it impacts both caregiving employees and employees who themselves show signs of cognitive impairment.
