Management strategies to manage behaviour of concern Psychosocial strategies. Doll therapy is a


diversional intervention that provides people with dementia an opportunity to interact with a “life-
like” baby doll on a manner that is therapeutic to them. Music therapy is the use to improve well-
being. It can include listening to music, singing, humming, play instruments and tapping to the beat.
Exercise and physical therapy is the use to movement to improve physical health and wellbeing
Validation therapy is a communication approach that “validate” or accept the values, beliefs and
reality of the person with dementia, even if it has no perceived basis. Dementia friendly
environments those that have been modified of purposefully designed through the application of
design principles that consider the needs of with dementia. This strategy has been found to be
effective the management of behaviour concern.
Pharmacological strategies, use of medication to control these behaviours of concern. This strategy
has been found effective.
Needs driven behaviour model is a theory that a person may exhibit behaviours when their needs are
not met example : hunger, thirst. Toilet pain, fatigue, temperature, over/under stimulations, social
engagement. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is one way of conceptualising the priority of needs, with
the needs fundamental to survival being the foundation for higher order needs. Strategy is the
attempt to understand which individual unmet needs are contributing to behaviours of concern and
manage these needs prior to behaviours occurring.
• Distracting with fav food/ picture
• Calm her down and talking slow
• Identify her need and try to attend to it
• Music therapy

falls and frequent problems remembering things. Doctors think Peter might be showing signs
of dementia.
Lately, Peter has noticed that he has not been receiving his mail as he did when he lived by
himself. Peter asked Joe if he has noticed anything about the missing mail. Joe assures him
that when the mail is delivered to the mailbox at the end of their road, he makes sure to collect
and open all of Peter’s mail to ensure it is handled promptly. This makes Peter uneasy. He
feels he is completely capable of dealing with his own mail and does not feel that Joe needs to
do it for him. However, since he has recently moved in with Joe and is relying on Joe to help
him with some of his day-to-day tasks, Peter is fearful of confronting his son and hurting his
new living arrangement.

STUDENT ASSESSMENT
CHCAGE005 Provide support to people living with dementia

Dementia is not a disease, but a broad term to cover a group of symptoms, the most common being
memory loss. The common indicators of dementia are memory lapses, such as difficulty in
remembering dates or finding the right words, impaired judgement resulting in financial or ill-
consideration decisions, behaviour and personality changes, such as becoming more assertive/ more
withdrawn, less flexible, showing a loss of interests in things that have mattered previously, becoming
absent- minded or repeating the same story or question.
• Symptoms
Symptoms of dementia are grouped into 4 different stages which serve as guides.
The first stage, changes in their memory or thinking people with dementia generally use much the
same language as most people do. They might forget a word, a phrase or a memory and then create
little story to fill the memory gap. Sometimes they may also appear vague in the way they
communicate.
The second stage, people with dementia are far more relaxed and inclined to give in and let go. They
may start to withdraw and appear to become preoccupied with the past, thinking back to happy times,
restoring old memories and sometimes living in that and reality. Their way of communicating may
change too. Sentence construction may not be as clear.
The third stage, people with dementia start to withdraw even future into the past and become so
preoccupied with their memories that they “live” almost entirely in that time and reality in that time
and reality. They may also start to wander language, at this stage, may consist mainly of one- syllable
words. Such as “Yes and No interspersed with only a keyword.
The fourth stage, people with dementia may completely shut out the outside world. They might sit in a
chair or lie in bed staring into thin air, or they might have their eyes closed. They may not respond
when someone walks into the room or speak with them.
• Pathological feature of dementia
Gross pathological features, gross examination does not show any apparent alternation that can be
considered to be diagnostic. Microscopic pathological feaures the 2-primary microscopic cardinal
lesions associated with dementia are the neurofibrillary tangle and the senile plaque. The
neurofibrillary tangle consist of abnormal accumulations of abnormally phosphorylated tau within the
perikaryal cytoplasm of certain neurons. The senile plaque consists of a central core of beta-amyloid.
• Other condition that may correlate with the onset of dementia are
Dehydration can cause confusion and increased memory loss-both symptoms of dementia.
Constipation
Infection. Eg pneumonia, urinary tract infection or even the smallest infection can cause dementia
symptoms.

Pain- can cause dementia symptoms:


Medication poisoning. This can occur easily in older people because their bodies are less able to
excrete surplus medication which can build up in the system and create side effect.
Brain tumours
Depression can also cause symptoms similar to dementia, such as decreased memory and
concentration loss, often leading to misdiagnosis
