项目摘要

The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast services for demented elderly in communities of the elderly and of the young. We surveyed early intervention systems in the community and actual state of health, dementia and family caregivers. We compared the average ages of 134 people from an elderly community (25.8% elderly) and 137 people from a young community (8.9% elderly). There was no significant difference in age - 73.3 years and 74.6 years. Three-generation households were seen most in the elderly community and elderly couples in the young community. We found a high level of subjective satisfaction with life and health outlook in 80-90% of the elderly in both communities. The ability to carry on daily life activities was high in both communities, with no differences due to gender or household composition. We confirmed deterioration in those over age 85, but there were few cases of possible dementia.We analyzed the type of home care support available to 5 demented elderly in the elderly community and 6 in the young community. Care centered around the home helper in the elderly community, whereas family caregivers would pull together a care system themselves in the young community.This study suggests there is a need for understanding dementia and how to deal with it in all communities. We must find ways of supporting the demented elderly and their families in a way that will take root easily in all types of communities.

本研究的目的是比较和对比社区的老年痴呆症老人和年轻人的服务。我们调查了社区的早期干预系统和实际健康状况，痴呆症和家庭照顾者。我们比较了来自老年社区的134人（25.8%老年人）和来自年轻社区的137人（8.9%老年人）的平均年龄。年龄无显著差异- 73.3岁和74.6岁。三代同堂的家庭多见于老年社区，老年夫妇多见于年轻社区。我们发现，在80-90%的老年人在两个社区的生活和健康前景的主观满意度高。两个社区的日常生活活动能力都很强，没有因性别或家庭组成而产生的差异。我们确认了85岁以上的老年痴呆症患者病情恶化，但可能发生痴呆症的病例很少。我们分析了老年社区中5名痴呆症患者和年轻社区中6名痴呆症患者可获得的家庭护理支持类型。在老年人社区，护理以家庭佣工为中心，而在年轻人社区，家庭护理人员将自己组成一个护理系统。这项研究表明，有必要了解痴呆症以及如何在所有社区应对痴呆症。我们必须设法支援失智症老人及其家人，使他们能在各类社区中容易扎根。
