“…Other variations of the life story book exist, such as personal computer files [ 86 ] and CDs [ 62 ]. These digital versions allowed more sophisticated content, such as music playlists, and allowed a more seamless process [ 86 ]. There were also other objects beyond books which were recognised as having legacy components.…”

“…Therefore, with much of the literature, even though legacy was not directly mentioned, it could be surmised from the nature of the intervention, that they had the potential for legacy. This was the case for articles discussing life story work, reminiscence therapy, music therapy using song lyrics, doll therapy and animal therapy; where there was something tangible that could be linked to memories and disclosed life stories [ 52 , 54 , 66 , 69 , 70 , 72 – 75 , 79 , 81 , 86 , 89 , 90 , 92 – 95 ]. Although, it is possible to see the legacy potential in the fact that tangible memories were posited, this was not acknowledged within these sources and was not a recognised aim or focus of the research.…”

BackgroundEpidemiological predictions suggest that dementia will continue to rise and that this will have social and economic ramifications. Effective interventions, beyond pharmacological management are needed. Psychosocial interventions have largely been investigated in relation to carers of people with dementia, or with regards to their ability to manage dementia symptoms, improve cognition, and reduce challenging behaviour. However, since dementia is a life-limiting illness and people with dementia are at risk of having their personhood compromised, psychosocial interventions should seek to enhance personhood, and offer the potential for the person to leave a legacy.MethodsAn integrative review was carried out to identify, assess, appraise and synthesise studies featuring interventions, which relate to both personhood and legacy. Search strategies were developed in key databases: MEDLINE; PsycINFO; Embase; Joanna Briggs Institute; CINAHL; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; ASSIA. Grey literature was also identified through free-text searches.ResultsThirty six articles were included in the final review, these were tabulated and were assessed based on how the intervention related to personhood and legacy. Classification resulted in three themes being identified: Offering aspects of legacy; Acknowledging the person behind the patient; Facilitating meaningful engagement. Generally, personhood aspects of interventions were well reported, but further research is required to explore legacy potential of psychosocial interventions for people with dementia.ConclusionThe integrative review provides an overview and exploration of an under-researched area, and provides directions for future research, which will help expand the evidence base and ultimately help improve patient care for people with dementia and their families.

“…Distraction and diversionary interventions have been proven effective in deescalating agitated behaviors [21]. Reminiscence therapy is the utilization of therapeutic communication to bask in pastime events which may result in improved psychological wellbeing and prevent further psychological decline [22]. The benefit of reminiscence therapy is thought to stimulate interest and maintain patient identity [23].…”

Addressing Adventitious Behaviors Associated with Dementia

Dementia is an insidious disease process that prevents an individual from making sense of environmental circumstances. Cognitively impaired patients are at increased risk for falls, skin integrity issues, accidents, and wandering behaviors. Yet, as the understanding of this disease process and the behaviors exhibited by the dementia patient grows, there is a new focus on individualizing care and attempting to manage adverse behaviors in a holistic fashion utilizing mainly nonpharmacological interventions. It has been shown that the evidence-based best practices related to mitigating adventitious behaviors in the geriatric population diagnosed with dementia are associated to nonpharmacological interventions. Utilization of technology in the form of computers to implement music therapy, reminiscence therapy, and occupational recreational therapy was the selected evidence-based best practice to implement. The aim of the work is to show non-pharmacological interventions as an inseparable and complementary method of pharmacological treatment of working with people with dementia. (JNNN 2018;7(1):40-45) Key Words: dementia, nonpharmacological interventions, adventitious behaviors StreszczenieDemencja jest podstępnym schorzeniem, które uniemożliwia chorym zrozumienie warunków środowiskowych. Pacjenci z zaburzeniami poznawczymi narażeni są na zwiększone ryzyko wystąpienia upadków, problemów skórnych, wypadków i zachowań wędrownych. Wraz ze wzrostem zrozumienia tego procesu chorobowego i zachowań przejawianych przez osoby chore, nowe podejście koncentrować się powinno na indywidualizacji opieki i próbach radzenia sobie z niepożądanymi zachowaniami w sposób całościowy, wykorzystując głównie interwencje niefarmakologiczne. Wykazano, że najlepsze praktyki oparte na dowodach, związanych z łagodzeniem przypadkowych zachowań w populacji geriatrycznej z rozpoznaną demencją, wiążą się z niefarmakologicznymi interwencjami. Wykorzystanie technologii w postaci komputerów do realizacji muzykoterapii, terapii wspomnień i rehabilitacji zajęciowej były wybrane najlepszą praktyką opartą na dowodach. Celem pracy jest ukazanie interwencji niefarmakologicznych jako nieodłącznej i uzupełniającej podstawowe leczenie farmakologiczne metody pracy z osobami z demencją.

“…Fortunately, technology makes stunning progress and gives modern man the means to make things much faster in the online environment that would otherwise have consumed him for quite some time. One of the most interesting aspects of technology development is the ability to intuitively relate to the wishes and needs of users, enabling them to optimize daily activities [8]. Now, according [9] the challenge for software developers is to create the smartest programs that mimic the human mind in terms of functioning, perform more and more complex tasks, and even self-optimize, similar to the process by which people constantly learn and memorizes new information every day.…”

This paper propose a mobile application that runs on the Android system, an app that aims to help persons with amblyopia by running recovery exercises in a very simple and convenient way, right on their own phone. It is very important to know that training the amblyopic eye even five minutes a day can result in vision acuity recovery, so it is recommended to use this application every day. Moreover, it is very easy to use, with an intriguing and intuitive menu with very simple commands. The subject with amblyopia can do the exercises anywhere, anytime. Another advantage is the accessibility of the application, which is used by the phone, can be used at any time of the day; the user has to give only five minutes of his daily activities.
