为早期痴呆症患者和他们的照顾者开发和开展了一个支持性研讨会小组。这八个会议集中在相关的主题上,即如何处理记忆问题、日常生活、自尊、人际关系、健康、法律和财务问题。对9名男性和6名女性患者的评价性陈述进行的内容分析显示,目的感、满足感、归属感和生存感是积极的主题,而其他主题反映了疾病的动荡,即无助感、贬值和不可预测感。这些初步发现支持了对早期痴呆症患者进行分组治疗的可行性。
A supportive seminar group was developed and conducted for individuals with early stage dementia and their caregivers. The eight sessions focused on pertinent topics, namely, coping with memory problems, daily living, self-esteem, relationships, health, legal, and financial concerns. Content analysis of the evaluative statements from nine men and six women patients revealed positive themes of feelings of purposefulness, gratification, belongingness, and survival, while other themes reflected the turmoil of the disease, namely, feelings of helplessness, devaluation, and unpredictability. These preliminary findings lend support to the feasibility of a group approach for early stage dementia patients.
