“…Fourteen elderlies ranging in age from 69 to 92 years ( M : 83.93, SD : 7.28) with a diagnosis of dementia took part in the study. Dementia severity was assessed with the Reisberg Global Deterioration Scale (scores of 4 or 5; Reisberg et al, 1993 ) and the Mini-Examen Cognoscitivo (MEC, the Spanish version of the Mini-Mental State Examination, scores between 10 and 23; Vinyoles Bargalló et al, 2002 ). Inclusion criteria for the participation in the study were a diagnosis of mild to moderate dementia and the informed consent of both the participants and their legal guardians.…”

Understanding Engagement in Dementia Through Behavior. The Ethographic and Laban-Inspired Coding System of Engagement (ELICSE) and the Evidence-Based Model of Engagement-Related Behavior (EMODEB)

Engagement in activities is of crucial importance for people with dementia. State of the art assessment techniques rely exclusively on behavior observation to measure engagement in dementia. These techniques are either too general to grasp how engagement is naturally expressed through behavior or too complex to be traced back to an overall engagement state. We carried out a longitudinal study to develop a coding system of engagement-related behavior that could tackle these issues and to create an evidence-based model of engagement to make meaning of such a coding system. Fourteen elderlies with mild to moderate dementia took part in the study. They were involved in two activities: a game-based cognitive stimulation and a robot-based free play. The coding system was developed with a mixed approach: ethographic and Laban-inspired. First, we developed two ethograms to describe the behavior of participants in the two activities in detail. Then, we used Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) to identify a common structure to the behaviors in the two ethograms and unify them in a unique coding system. The inter-rater reliability (IRR) of the coding system proved to be excellent for cognitive games (kappa = 0.78) and very good for robot play (kappa = 0.74). From the scoring of the videos, we developed an evidence-based model of engagement. This was based on the most frequent patterns of body part organization (i.e., the way body parts are connected in movement) observed during activities. Each pattern was given a meaning in terms of engagement by making reference to the literature. The model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). It achieved an excellent goodness of fit and all the hypothesized relations between variables were significant. We called the coding system that we developed the Ethographic and Laban-Inspired Coding System of Engagement (ELICSE) and the model the Evidence-based Model of Engagement-related Behavior (EMODEB). To the best of our knowledge, the ELICSE and the EMODEB constitute the first formalization of engagement-related behavior for dementia that describes how behavior unfolds over time and what it means in terms of engagement.

“…The Spanish version includes five more items than the original and is somewhat simpler. Hence, the cut-off point of 24 points in the Spanish version is considered equivalent to a 20-point score in the original version ( Vinyoles et al , 2002 ). The test has shown adequate sensitivity and specificity for the detection of dementia ( Lobo et al , 1979 ), as well as high test-retest reliability ( Tombaugh & McIntyre , 1992 ).…”

Background. This work examines the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and depressive symptomatology in institutionalized older adults, delving into the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Considering that previous evidence of the variation of the EI-depression relationship depending on whether the emotional ability or the perception of that ability is evaluated, a model of multiple mediation was tested in which the dimensions of emotional self-efficacy (ESE) act as mediators in the relationship between ability EI and depressive symptomatology.Methods. The sample consisted of 115 institutionalized older adults (47.82% women; 80.3 ± 7.9 years of age) from the province of Jaén (Spain) who completed a test of ESE, a measure of ability EI, and a self-administered questionnaire of depressive symptoms.Results. The results showed a positive association between older adults’ emotional performance and depressive symptomatology, finding stronger associations with ESE than with EI abilities. In addition, multiple mediation analyses showed that two of the four dimensions of ESE fully mediated the relationship between ability EI and depressive symptoms.Discussion. These findings suggest that older adults’ high levels of emotional competence generate a feeling of ESE which can protect them against depressive symptoms. This work supports the predictive validity of emotional abilities and ESE for the mental health of a group that is particularly vulnerable to depression, institutionalized older adults. The limitations of the work are discussed, and future lines of research were considered.

“…Applying the age or level of education distribution, rather than using the cutoff point of 23/24, minimizes the differences found when comparing the results from the 30-point Folstein's Mini-Mental State Examination with the results from its validated and slightly modified Spanish translation, the 35-point Lobo's Mini-Examen Cognoscitivo (MEC; Lobo, Ezquerra, Gómez Burgada, Sala, & Seva Diaz, 1979). In particular, accounting for age and the level of education avoided the possibility of obtaining "false positives" in subjects with a low educational level or aged 80 years or older (Vinyoles Bargalló et al, 2002). Nine subjects with a minimal level of consciousness were excluded from the random sample because they could not be assessed by the MMSE The Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS-SF; Sheikh & Yesavage, 1986) was used to assess depressive symptoms.…”

The influence of social support dimensions (the extent of contact with others, the satisfaction with contacts, and the availability of help if sick or disabled) in elderly people with cognitive impairment (COG), depressive symptoms (DEP), or the co-occurrence of these symptoms (COG-DEP) was assessed in a cross-sectional analysis of a representative sample of 579 individuals aged 65 years and older. A lower extent of contact was related to COG (OR: 2.26). Fair satisfaction with contacts was related to DEP (OR: 2.88) and COG-DEP (OR: 4.22). A low level of satisfaction with contacts was an important predictor for DEP (OR: 7.99) and COG-DEP (OR: 7.88). Therefore, different dimensions of social support were independently correlated with different aspects of mental health. Quantitative aspects of social support were significantly linked to the presence of cognitive impairment. Satisfaction with social support affected depressive symptoms both alone and when they co-occurred with cognitive impairment.Social support is a significant predictor of mental health in the elderly, affecting cognitive functioning
