“…The original (English) version of CSDD has been widely used in Western countries and been translated by a number of researchers into Chinese for use as a study tool in several studies (Chan et al, 2008;Tung & Chen, 2007;Wong et al, 2006). In Taiwan, the CSDD Chinese version has been utilized to measure the effectiveness of music therapy on cognition, behavioral problems and depression in 90 demented older adults in long-term care facilities (Tung & Chen, 2007).…”

“…In Taiwan, the CSDD Chinese version has been utilized to measure the effectiveness of music therapy on cognition, behavioral problems and depression in 90 demented older adults in long-term care facilities (Tung & Chen, 2007). In Hong Kong, the original CSDD was administered in a study (Wong et al, 2006) that evaluated subjective complaints and self-evaluated the efficacy of a memory test in 92 Chinese with questionable dementia and mild Alzheimer's disease and a two-phase epidemiologic survey on the prevalence of dementia in elderly Chinese (Chan et al, 2008). Despite such applications of the CSDD, no published evidence on the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of this tool was shown in these studies.…”

Elders with cognitive impairments frequently experience concomitant unidentified depressive symptoms due to an impaired capacity for verbal communication. Therefore, determination of a valid and reliable instrument with which to detect depression in this population requires confirmation through observation. The Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) has been employed worldwide. However, no formally established psychometric properties have yet been made available for its Chinese version. For this study, we attempted to translate and test the validity and reliability of the CSDD Chinese version (CSDD-C). After completing translation and expert validity, a convenient sample of 145 older adults with dementia was assessed by their caregivers in several care facilities in Southern Taiwan. The CSDD-C was administered to collect data along with the Geriatric Depression Scale short form (GDS-SF). Results found an expert content validity index (CVI) of .92 and concurrent validity between CSDD-C and GDS-SF of .322 (p < .001). The number of factors extracted through our samples is consistent with the original CSDD; inter-rater agreement over a two-week period on each item was significant (Kappa = .43-.89); and the Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency reliability was .84. Results indicate the CSDD-C to be a reliable and valid instrument to help Chinese speaking caregivers determine signs and symptoms of depression in elders with dementia under their care.

“…Awareness has been measured with clinician ratings [16, 17]; or based on discrepancy between self-report versus clinicians' impression [10] or versus informant report assessed with interview [10, 18] or questionnaires [7, 12, 14, 19–21]; or discrepancy between self-report and objective performance [21, 22], which, depending on the task, measures self-monitoring or metacognitive abilities [3]. Each assessment method has limitations: Clare et al [21] detail difficulties with patient/informant discrepancies and the assumption that caregiver informants' or clinicians' reports are a better reflection of reality.…”

Awareness in dementia is increasingly recognized not only as multifactorial, but also as domain specific. We demonstrate differential clinical correlates for awareness of daily function, awareness of memory, and the novel exploration of awareness of balance. Awareness of function was higher for participants with mild cognitive impairment (aMCI and non-aMCI) than for those with dementia (due to Alzheimer disease; AD and non-AD), whereas awareness of memory was higher for both non-aMCI and non-AD dementia patients than for those with aMCI or AD. Balance awareness did not differ based on diagnostic subgroup. Awareness of function was associated with instrumental activities of daily living and caregiver burden. In contrast, awareness of balance was associated with fall history, balance confidence, and instrumental activities of daily living. Clinical correlates of awareness of memory depended on diagnostic group: associations held with neuropsychological variables for non-AD dementia, but for patients with AD dementia, depression and instrumental activities of daily living were clinical correlates of memory awareness. Together, these data provide support for the hypothesis that awareness and dementia are not unitary and are, instead, modality specific.

“…As demonstrated in this and in multiple other studies (Schmidt et al, 2001; Wong et al, 2006; Mitchell, 2008), there are variable degrees of accuracy in subjective reports of memory status as compared to standardized neuropsychological objective measures. The subjective report of memory difficulties in the subjects, including the controls and the patients with MCI and AD, shows reasonable correlations to the physician’s clinical judgment and to performance on neuropsychological tests.…”

Objective Compare subjective reports of both memory and word-finding deficits to clinical diagnosis and objective neuropsychological testing. Background With the increasing number of aging individuals with cognitive impairments, effective screening measures would improve the likelihood of detection. Subjective reports of symptoms are typically obtained in clinical settings, yet the validity of these reports is relatively unknown. Methods Clinical screening for dementia was carried out at an Alzheimer’s disease center. Dichotomous ratings for memory and word-finding/language problems were given by subjects and neurologists. These ratings were compared with 13 neuropsychological measures of word finding/language and episodic memory. Results Ratings of memory by both subjects and neurologists correlated well with standard neuropsychological measures of memory. However, both the patients’ and physicians’ ratings of word finding/language impairments had notably less of a correlation with the relevant neuropsychological measures of word finding/language. Conclusion Compared to ratings of memory, similar assessments of word-finding/language difficulties were relatively inaccurate and thus poor predictors of impairment. It is imperative to develop effective screening methods that will help reveal cognitive impairments, as this issue will almost certainly become more pressing given the projected increase in the number of aging individuals and those with dementia.
