In Izumo City, Japan, there is a day care facility, where the elders with dementia are trying to recover their confidence for living by participating the psychodrama. According to our observation for the elders suffering from dementia of middle to severe degrees, these elders have developed their unique sense of humor in spite of their dementia under the barrier free circumstances. Li the course of day care, troubles which occurred from the anxiety or confusion under the initial inadequate circumstances disappear, and a humanistic confidence toward themselves and their environment appears. According to the testimonies of their families, suffering from dementia was supposed to be a trigger that revealed these elders' hidden humanity. The acceptance of the elder's memory disturbance by both their families and the elders themselves further encouraged these elders to get out of the initial trouble, recur and activate their original humanistic sense. As for the care providers, the acceptanc … More e and fecilitation of this dynamic process between elders and their supporting families is very important. Although living with happiness now is important for the elders with dementia, the more important is the confidence toward the future status of dementia to improve the humanistic quality of life.When we discuss about improvement of living environments for people affected by dementia, we must not ignore effect of sounds for them. To reveal effect of sounds for people affected by dementia, we attempt to investigate what kinds of sounds are recollected clearly by them, as a first stage of investigation. The outline of our investigation is shown as below. In the course of group care, a care leader shows a large card in which an onomatopoeia is written. Then, elders suffering from dementia of middle to severe degrees and care staffs read aloud the onomatopoeia several times to imagine what kind of sound the onomatopoeia indicates. After that, elders freely tell what they imagine. The following results are obtained from this investigation : (1) Generally speaking, nature sounds, like songs of birds and sound of rain are recollected easily from onomatopoeias regardless of sex. (2) Sounds of kitchen work are recollected by women. (3) Sounds of their old custom are recollected clearly. (4) Sounds that pull at elders' heartstring intensely on account of relation to their life history are also recollected intensely from onomatopoeias. These results show that elders suffering from dementia can easily recollect the sounds that had been once very familiar to them. Less

在日本出云市，有一家日托所，患有痴呆症的老年人正在试图通过参加心理剧来恢复生活的信心。根据我们对中重度痴呆老人的观察，这些老人在无障碍环境下，尽管患有痴呆症，但他们仍然发展出了独特的幽默感。在日托的过程中，由于最初不充分的情况下的焦虑或困惑而产生的烦恼消失了，对自己和环境的人文自信出现了。根据他们家人的证词，患有痴呆症应该是揭示这些老人隐藏的人性的触发器。家人和老人自身对老人记忆障碍的接受，进一步鼓励了这些老人走出最初的困扰，复发并激活了他们原有的人文意识。至于护理提供者， ...更多信息 因此，促进长者与支持他们的家人之间的互动过程是非常重要的。老年痴呆症患者的幸福生活固然重要，但更重要的是对痴呆症患者未来生活状态的信心，以提高人文生活质量。当我们讨论改善痴呆症患者的生活环境时，我们不能忽视声音对他们的影响。为了揭示声音对痴呆症患者的影响，我们试图调查他们清楚地回忆起什么样的声音，作为调查的第一阶段。我们的调查概要如下所示。在集体护理的过程中，护理负责人展示了一张写有拟声词的大卡片。然后，患有中重度痴呆症的老人和护理人员大声朗读拟声词几次，想象拟声词表示什么样的声音。在那之后，老人们自由地说出他们的想象。研究结果表明：（1）自然界的声音，如鸟鸣声和雨声，无论性别如何，都容易从拟声词中回忆起来。(2)厨房工作的声音是由女人回忆起来的。(3)他们的旧习俗的声音清晰地回忆起来。(4)那些因与长者的生活史有关而强烈拨动长者心弦的声音，也会从拟声词中强烈地回忆起来。这些结果表明，患有痴呆症的老年人可以很容易地选择他们曾经非常熟悉的声音。少
