目的：确定不同初级保健机构中两个老年人群中痴呆症筛查的可接受性。方法：使用痴呆症筛查和感知危害 (SAPH) 问卷，对在杜克大学医疗系统 (n = 152) 或达勒姆退伍军人医疗中心 (n = 193) 进行初级保健预约的连续患者进行横断面研究。结果：总体而言，81% 的初级保健患者表示他们希望接受进行筛查以确定他们是否患有痴呆症。在了解筛查可能存在的风险和益处后，86% 的患者表示他们愿意接受筛查。 SAPH 易于使用，包含五个相关且有凝聚力的领域。与痴呆症筛查愿望最相关的项目是男性、接受其他类型的筛查以及相信存在痴呆症治疗方法。结论：两个不同医疗保健系统的初级保健患者表示他们希望接受痴呆症筛查。 SAPH 易于使用并且包含内聚域。版权所有 (C) 2010 约翰·威利父子有限公司
Objectives: To determine the acceptability of dementia screening in two populations of older adults in different primary care settings.Methods: Cross-sectional study of consecutive patients presenting for primary care appointments in the Duke University Health System (n = 152) or Durham VA Medical Center (n = 193) were evaluated face to face using the Dementia Screening and Perceived Harms (SAPH) questionnaire.Results: Overall, 81% of primary care patients indicated that they would want to be screened to determine if they are developing dementia. After exposure to possible risks and benefits of screening, 86% of patients indicated they would like to be screened. The SAPH was easy to use and contained five relevant and cohesive domains. The items most associated with a desire for dementia screening were male gender, acceptance of other types of screening, and a belief that a treatment for dementia exists.Conclusions: Primary care patients in two different health care systems indicated they would like to be screened for dementia. The SAPH was easy to use and contains cohesive domains. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
