“…Rather, most accounts embodied a more 'traditional' way of thinking where it was taken that such behaviours were fundamentally upshots of the dementia itself (Desai, Schwartz, & Grossberg, 2012). For example, R1 expressed frustration at a patient's reluctance to let go of a carrier bag containing 'her worldly belongings' on account of the time it was adding to preparing her for the examination.…”

Extended semi-structured interviews with six participants (mean experience in diagnostic radiography = 3.5 years) were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Findings highlight that participants' recurrently-cited lack of confidence around their knowledge of dementia, and regular treatment of the condition as a 'generic' thing in practice, had sometimes damaged clinical interaction, particularly when the participant was feeling institutional time pressures.Education for new professionals was seen as lacking in both quantity and context-relevance, with implications for professional confidence and ethical practice. Carers and family members were viewed by participants as potentially positive and negative forces within an examination context, and technological advances in radiography were taken to be clinically advantageous, but also actively detrimental to the effective interpersonal care of their patients.

Reports suggest that 19-44% of community-dwelling patients with dementia complain about sleep disturbances such as circadian rhythm changes, medical illnesses, depression and the primary sleep disorders 17 .…”

Sleep disorders and sleeping difficulty are poorly-addressed problems of aging. Research has shown that as many as 50% of older adults complain about difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep. Elderly with varieties of sleep complaints are differentially affected by 'age-related cognitive decline'. Normal developmental processes have been affected with changes in sleep, which can be further compromised by sleep disturbances secondary to medical or psychiatric diseases such as chronic pain, depression, dementia or age-related primary sleep disorders (e.g., sleep disordered breathing and periodic limb movements during sleep), or certain combinations of these high-risk factors. Sleep serves as a protective mechanism to keep the organism out of danger; therefore, it is imperative to consider sleep disorders for quality life. The evaluation of these disorders is discussed in this review.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 7, No. 1: Jan 2016, P 45-49
