Il geriatra
No full textL’eterogeneità delle condizioni di salute dei pazienti anziani richiede uno specifico approccio di cura e la medicina geriatrica è la risposta. Per far fronte a malattia, disabilità e fragilità, l’ap-proccio della valutazione geriatrica porta lo specialista a considerare l’interazione tra lo stato funzionale e le dimensioni cognitive, mediche, affettive, ambientali, sociali, economiche e spi-rituali. L’obiettivo della valutazione geriatrica è la riabilitazione, e l’introduzione di soluzioni assistive rende possibile uno scenario in cui la funzionalità degli anziani affetti da disturbi fisici cognitivi può essere migliorata. Il capitolo fornisce uno sguardo di insieme alle aree in cui sistemi tecnologici possono essere di supporto alla vita quotidiana degli anziani e dei loro ca-regiver. Viene descritto il contributo del geriatra all’interno di un centro ausili, collegando la valutazione geriatrica globale al modello ICF. Infine vengono discusse la mancanza di imple-mentazione dell’ICF e la necessità di prevedere training all’uso e all’implementazione di solu-zioni assistive per i geriatri e i caregiver
The “Artwork Effect” paradigm: A model for planning and assessing cognitive stimulation for people with dementia through museum visits
No full textThis paper proposes a paradigm ("Artwork Effect" paradigm) to study the impact of museum stimulation programs for people with dementia. The literature concerning viewing and making art is considered. The paradigm, comprising qualitative and quantitative measures, is illustrated. The implementation of a shared paradigm of assessment can contribute to the validation of an assessment model to evaluate museum stimulation programs for people with dementia: a low-cost nonpharmacological intervention useful for the stimulation of cognitive functions and for increasing the well-being of people with dementia and their caregiver
The Geriatrician
No full textHeterogeneity in the health status of elderly patients requires a particular care approach and geriatric medicine is the answer. In order to cope with frailty, disability, and diseases, the geriatric assessment approach guides the geriatrician into considering the interaction between functional status and cognitive, medical, affective, environmental, social support, economic, and spirituality dimensions. Rehabilitation is the goal of the geriatric assessment and the introduction of assistive solutions in geriatric rehabilitation makes possible a scenario in which the functioning of elderly people with physical or cognitive limitations is improved. This chapter provides an overview of the areas where technological systems may offer support to the everyday life of the elderly and their caregivers. The contribution of a geriatrician in a Centre for Technical Aid is described, linking the comprehensive geriatric assessment with the ICF model. The lack of implementation of the ICF and the requirement of training in assistive solutions for geriatricians and caregivers are discussed
Italian version and normative data of Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III
No full textObjectives: Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III) is a brief cognitive screening tool to assess five cognitive domains: attention/orientation, verbal fluency, memory, language, and visuospatial abilities. This study aimed to provide normative data (for total score and subscale scores) of the Italian version of ACE-III for gender, age, and education. Methods: A total of 574 healthy Italian participants (mean age 68.70 ± 9.65; mean education 9.15 ± 4.04) were recruited from the community and included in the study. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of age, gender, and education on the ACE-III total performance score. Results:Age and education exerted a significant effect on total and subscale ACE-III scores, whereas gender was on attention/orientation, language, and visuospatial subscale scores. From the derived linear equation, correction grids to adjust raw scores and equivalent scores (ESs) with cut-off values were provided. Conclusions:The present study provided normative data, correction grids, and ESs for ACE-III in an Italian population
