这一项目是一项更大规模研究的第一阶段，整个研究的目的是证明在医院或住院环境中患有严重痴呆症的老年人的职业需求，并确定有助于满足这种需求的治疗方法。使用痴呆症护理测绘仪器，对9个痴呆症护理病房中的109名严重受损人员进行了一天的观察。结果表明，这一客户群体的职业供应严重匮乏，他们中的大多数人一天中的大部分时间都是空闲的。它们还强调了大多数居民在大部分时间所经历的最低幸福感条件。讨论了痴呆症护理地图得分与其社会和物理环境的感知质量不匹配的单位的异常。提出了一种假设，即严重受损的人对环境的感知发生了变化。
This project represents the first phase of a larger study, the whole of which is intended to demonstrate the occupational need of elderly persons, in hospital or residential settings, who have severe dementia and to identify those therapeutic approaches which serve to meet such need. One hundred and nine severely impaired persons in nine dementia care units were each observed over the course of a day, using the dementia care mapping instrument. Results indicate a severe dearth of occupational provision for this client group, most of whom spent the greater part of their day unoccupied. They also highlight the conditions of minimum well-being experienced by most residents for most of the time. The anomaly of those units whose dementia care mapping scores did not match the perceived quality of their social and physical environments is discussed. A hypothesis of an altered perception of environment in severely impaired persons is proposed.
