“…Amnestic mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease are characterized by decreased memory, which is assessed by the ability to learn and remember new information. Patients may experience cognitive and functional losses during course of the disease and have problems in simple daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and excretion . This condition may adversely influence patients' quality of life.…”

Background Alzheimer is a disease leading to various neuropsychiatric behavioral disorders, and the most common symptom observed during the prognosis of Alzheimer's disease is dysmnesia. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of reminiscence therapy on cognitive functions, depression, and quality of life in Alzheimer's patients. Methods The present study was a randomized controlled single blind study with two groups, which was designed in the experimental pretest‐posttest pattern in the city of Konya, Turkey. It was decided to include a total of 60 elderly individuals. Information form that evaluated socio‐demographic characteristics and disease history of individuals in intervention and control groups and was developed by the researcher. Standardized Mini‐Mental State Examination (SMMSE), Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia, and the Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QOL‐AD) Scale were used to collect the data. Reminiscence therapy was applied once a week and lasted for 8 weeks. Every session took 60 minutes. Groups consisted of six people. Results Mini‐Mental Test, depression, and quality of life mean scores of the elderly in intervention group before reminiscence therapy program increased after the administration, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the intergroup comparison, a significant difference was found between elderly individuals' posttest Mini‐Mental Test, depression, and quality of life mean scores (P < 0.05). Conclusions Our results suggest that regular reminiscence therapy should be considered for inclusion as routine care for the improvement of cognitive functions, depressive symptoms, and quality of life in elderly people with Alzheimer.

“…The original IDDD has been found to be a valid and reliable measure of everyday functioning, which was lacking further activities (Voigt‐Radloff et al ., ). The R‐IDDD2 has been found to be an internally valid measure of everyday functioning (Giebel et al ., submitted).…”

“…Other PwD may struggle to carry out the activity, so that such interventions would more likely be effective. The few studies into initiative and performance in dementia available are inconclusive as to which area is mostly preserved in the mild stages, which may be a result of the mix of dementia types in the samples under investigation (Giebel et al ., ; Teunisse et al ., ; Voigt‐Radloff et al ., ). To the best of our knowledge, no research has compared the initiative and performance of IADLs by subtype, so that this study will offer novel insights which could aid differential diagnoses.…”

Objectives: The literature commonly evaluates those daily activities which are impaired in dementia. However, in the mild stages, people with dementia (PwD) are still able to initiate and perform many of those tasks. With a lack of research exploring variations between different dementia diagnoses, this study sought to investigate those daily activities with modest impairments in the mild stages, and how these compare between Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VaD) and mixed dementia.

“…Secondary outcomes were daily functioning as measured with the IDDD [11], resource utilization (Resource Utilization in Dementia (RUD)) [12, 13] and satisfaction with treatment measured with a verbal rating scale (ranging from 1 = very satisfied to 5 = very unsatisfied). Furthermore, we assessed several control measures: cognitive status (MMSE [8]), dementia stage (Reisberg Clinical Dementia Rating), challenging behavior assessed by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) [14, 15] and treatment costs using a cost unit rate of €60 per treatment hour including all costs (personnel, material, travel, overheads).…”

BackgroundErrorless learning (EL) is a method for optimizing learning, which uses feed-forward instructions in order to prevent people from making mistakes during the learning process. The majority of previous studies on EL taught patients with dementia artificial tasks of little or no relevance for their daily lives. Furthermore, only a few controlled studies on EL have so far been performed and just a handful of studies have examined the long-term effects of EL. Tasks were not always trained in the patients’ natural or home environment, limiting the external validity of these studies. This multicenter parallel randomized controlled trial examines the effects of EL compared with trial and error learning (TEL) on the performance of activities of daily living in persons with Alzheimer’s or mixed-type dementia living at home.MethodsPatients received nine 1-hour task training sessions over eight weeks using EL or TEL. Task performance was measured using video observations at week 16. Secondary outcome measures were task performance measured at week 26, satisfaction with treatment, need for assistance, challenging behavior, adverse events, resource utilization and treatment costs.ResultsA total of 161 participants were randomized, of whom 71 completed the EL and 74 the TEL arm at week 11. Sixty-nine EL patients and 71 TEL patients were assessed at the 16-week follow-up (the primary measurement endpoint). Intention-to-treat analysis showed a significantly improved task performance in both groups. No significant differences between the treatment groups were found for primary or secondary outcomes.ConclusionsStructured relearning improved the performance of activities of daily living. Improvements were maintained for 6 months. EL had no additional effect over TEL.Trial registrationGerman Register of Clinical Trials DRKS00003117.
