HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as royal colleges and NHS trusts. These suggestions are carefully prioritised by panels of independent experts (including NHS service users). The HTA Programme then commissions the research by competitive tender. Secondly, the HTA Programme provides grants for clinical trials for researchers who identify research questions. These are assessed for importance to patie...

“…Una mayor sobrecarga deteriora la salud mental, social y física del cuidador, presentando con mayor frecuencia trastornos ansioso-depresivos 9,10 , mayor aislamiento social, empeoramiento de la situación económica familiar 11,12 , mayor morbilidad general 13 e incluso mayor mortalidad, que en población comparable no sobrecargada 14 . Además, el cuidador tiende a no buscar ayuda médica, postergándose y priorizando los problemas de su familiar dependiente, manteniendo la mayoría de sus propias patologías sin diagnosticar, tornándose casi "invisible" para el sistema de salud 15 .…”

“…According to this, the monitoring of families and caregivers should be part of a multidisciplinary intervention of the disease. Having as its main focus the stress reduction of the caregiver, help families to cope with the burden of care and although it does not allow any changes in the course of the disease, can bring significant benefits to care for the patients and therefore, positive impact on their behavior (Marriott, Donaldson, Tarrier, & Burns, 2000;Bottino et al, 2002). On this intervention, psychoeducation and information about the diseaseare fundamental, but essentially a reflection about the consequences that this will bring long term (Marriot et al, 2000).…”

A look at the Alzheimer support center Viseu. Millenium, 2(3), 85-94. m 3 86 RESUMO Introdução: Em todo o mundo é diagnosticado um novo caso de demência a cada 3 segundos, perfazendo cerca de 9,9 milhões de novos casos em 2015 (Prince, et al., 2015). A demência é uma síndrome orgânica adquirida, geralmente crónica, caracterizada pela perda progressiva de capacidades cognitivas e funcionais devido à degeneração gradual das diversas zonas cerebrais. Compromete a vida pessoal, familiar, profissional e social do indivíduo, afetando severamente a sua autonomia e independência. (Nunes, 2014). Objetivos: Divulgar o trabalho desenvolvido pelo Centro de Apoio ao Alzheimer Viseu (CAAV); Caraterizar o perfil e as necessidades dos cuidadores que o procuram os serviços do CAAV. Métodos: Estudo exploratório desenvolvido tendo por base os dados de uma amostra de 166 cuidadores de pessoas com demência que recorreram ao do CAAV entre 2014 e 2017. São maioritariamente cuidadores informais (137), que em algum momento prestaram apoio a tempo inteiro ao doente, sem qualquer ajuda externa, prevalecendo a procura por parte do sexo feminino, com 128 pedidos de apoio, contra 38 cuidadores do sexo masculino. Resultados: Os serviços mais procurados no CAAV são: apoio técnico, social/médico/jurídico, bem como o apoio psicológico e o grupo de suporte. A maior parte das pessoas que solicitam estes serviços são mulheres, nomeadamente filhas/os dos pacientes (49%), seguindo-se os conjugues (27%), sendo a demência de Alzheimer a patologia mais frequentemente referenciada. Conclusões:Os resultados mostram que o CAAV se assume uma entidade com impacto individual e social, pelo que tendo por base o modelo de Atenção Centrado na Pessoa, o CAAV pretende a curto e médio prazo criar novos serviços de suporte às necessidades e exigências das pessoas com demência e seus cuidadores. Palavras-chaves:Alzheimer; Demência; Cuidadores; Intervenção. (137), who at some point provided full-time support to the patient without any outside help, with female demand prevailing with 128 requests for support against 38 male caregivers. Results: The most sought after services in CAAV are: technical, social / medical / legal support, as well as psychological support and support group. Most of the people who request these services are women, especially the patients' daughters (49%), followed by the spouses (27%), with Alzheimer dementia being the most frequently referred pathology. Conclusions:The results show that the CAAV assumes an entity with individual and social impact, so based on the Person Centered Care model, CAAV intends in the short and medium term to create new services to support the needs and demands of people with dementia and their caregivers.
