Vision, hearing, olfaction, and cognitive function are essential components of healthy and successful aging. Multiple studies demonstrate relationship between these conditions with cognitive function. The present article focuses on hearing loss, visual impairment, olfactory loss, and dual sensory impairments in relation to cognitive declination and neurodegenerative disorders. Sensorineural organ impairment is a predictive factor for mild cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders in the elderly. We recommend early detection of sensorineural dysfunction by history, physical examination, and screening tests. Assisted device and early cognitive rehabilitation may be beneficial. Future research is warranted in order to explore advanced treatment options and method to slow progression for cognitive declination and sensorineural organ impairment.

“…However, in the context of age-related or acquired losses, the term dual sensory impairment (DSI) has been more commonly used (Wittich, Southall, Sikora, Watanabe, & Gagne, 2013). The population prevalence of DSI is estimated to be around 0.74 to 5 per cent (Dawes et al, 2014; Kwon, Kim, Kim, Kwon, & Yu, 2015; Swenor, Ramulu, Willis, Friedman, & Lin, 2013), and dramatically increases up to 20–37 per cent when examining sub-populations of older adults (e.g., Cimarolli & Jopp, 2014; Roets-Merken, Zuidema, Vernooij-Dassen, & Kempen, 2014; Yamada et al, 2015). Among individuals who access rehabilitation services for DSI, between 69 and 85 per cent are over the age of 65 (Dammeyer, 2013; Wittich, Watanabe, & Gagne, 2012).…”

RÉSUMÉEn vue de mieux comprendre et d’améliorer le processus de réadaptation des personnes âgées présentant à la fois une déficience auditive et visuelle, soit une double déficience sensorielle (DDS), cette étude s’est penchée sur les perspectives des professionnels de la santé qui œuvrent chez cette population. Treize professionnels aux parcours variés ont été interviewés en lien avec leur expérience de travail auprès de personnes âgées avec DDS. Les entrevues ont été transcrites et codées, et une analyse de contenu a été effectuée. Les participants des diverses professions ont perçu qu’ils devaient assumer les rôles additionnels suivants : (1) conseiller, (2) guide, (3) formateur ou rééducateur. Ces rôles consistaient à aider les personnes avec DDS et leurs familles présentant une dépression, des problèmes d’acceptation, des consultations répétées et des parcours complexes dans le système de santé. Selon les professionnels interviewés, ces rôles supplémentaires accroissent leur charge de travail et les confrontent à des problématiques pour lesquelles ils n’ont pas reçu de formation. Ils suggèrent l’implantation d’une formation sur les DDS pour les professionnels et les membres de la famille concernés, ainsi qu’une approche de réadaptation en équipe multidisciplinaire.

“…At the 31 selected homes, 2313 residents were screened using the Severe Dual Sensory Loss screening tool. 47 Figure 1 shows that 727 (31%) were screened as possibly having DSI, of whom 525 (72%) were excluded either due to severe cognitive problems (n=352; 67%), or because LTC professionals judged that they were too frail to be interviewed (n=173; 33%). The average number of older participants per home was three (minimum 1, maximum 9).…”

Effectiveness of a nurse-supported self-management programme for dual sensory impaired older adults in long-term care: a cluster randomised controlled trial

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-supported self-management programme to improve social participation of dual sensory impaired older adults in long-term care homes.DesignCluster randomised controlled trial.SettingThirty long-term care homes across the Netherlands.ParticipantsLong-term care homes were randomised into intervention clusters (n=17) and control clusters (n=13), involving 89 dual sensory impaired older adults and 56 licensed practical nurses.InterventionNurse-supported self-management programme.MeasurementsEffectiveness was evaluated by the primary outcome social participation using a participation scale adapted for visually impaired older adults distinguishing four domains: instrumental activities of daily living, social-cultural activities, high-physical-demand and low-physical-demand leisure activities. A questionnaire assessing hearing-related participation problems was added as supportive outcome. Secondary outcomes were autonomy, control, mood and quality of life and nurses’ job satisfaction. For effectiveness analyses, linear mixed models were used. Sampling and intervention quality were analysed using descriptive statistics.ResultsSelf-management did not affect all four domains of social participation; however. the domain ‘instrumental activities of daily living’ had a significant effect in favour of the intervention group (P=0.04; 95% CI 0.12 to 8.5). Sampling and intervention quality was adequate.ConclusionsA nurse-supported self-management programme was effective in empowering the dual sensory impaired older adults to address the domain ‘instrumental activities of daily living’, but no differences were found in addressing the other three participation domains. Self-management showed to be beneficial for managing practical problems, but not for those problems requiring behavioural adaptations of other persons.Trial registration number NCT01217502; Results.
