该研究的目的是描述记忆缺陷或早发性痴呆症患者如何感知和解决他们的问题，特别是他们当前和未来的职业状况，包括描述职业环境中其他重要人物的类似观察和态度。数据通过 16 次访谈收集，其中 9 名受试者各 1 次，7 名受访者来自受试者工作场所。所有访谈均采用比较方法进行分析，寻找主题。此外，还评估了受试者的IADL（日常生活工具活动）能力和认知能力。研究结果表明，在确定受试者的困境之前，受试者本身就经历了广泛的困难。这些困难是通过受试者自发和有计划的策略以及工作场所的适应来解决的，但收效甚微。这种情况也深刻地影响了同事们。总体而言，只要受试者做出了有益的贡献，受试者和工作场所受访者都对继续工作持积极态度。继续工作的可能性似乎取决于多种因素，包括个人对自己能力的了解以及病假的长度。
The aim of the study was to describe how persons with memory deficits or younger-onset dementia perceived and met their problems, with particular reference to their present and future vocational situation, including describing the parallel observations and attitudes of other significant persons in the vocational context. Data were collected through 16 interviews, one with each of nine subjects and seven respondents from the subjects' workplaces. All interviews were analysed with a comparative method, searching for themes. In addition, subjects' IADL (instrumental activities of daily living) ability and cognition were assessed. The findings demonstrated that the subjects themselves experienced extensive difficulties before their predicament was defined. The difficulties were met by spontaneous and planned strategics on the part of the subjects and by adaptations at the workplaces, but with limited success. The situation also profoundly affected fellow workers. Overall, both the subjects and the workplace respondents had a positive attitude to continued work as long as the subjects made useful contributions. The possibility of remaining in work seemed to depend on multiple factors, including the individual's apprehension of his or her own ability and the length of the sick-leave.
