Hello,
Today I am writing about dementia.
It's difficult to take care if you don't know about dementia.
I as a nurse, I met many dementia people.
If I talk with a person for 5 min, I will know the person is dementia or not.
They talk about same things again and again.
Some people don't like to take care about dementia people.
I can understand why people don't like them. Because I was one of those people.
But I changed. I like taking care of dementia people.
I feel happy when I see their happy face.
I want to make them happy and I want to see their smiley face.
When I used to work as a nurse in the big hospital, I had many difficult situation between dementia people. Even I told them not to move, as soon as I turn my back to them, they will move. They just forget about everything in a few seconds. And I understand about dementia in my brain. But I was too busy, so I had no room in my heart to take care about dementia people at the hospital.
Sometimes the doctor will deny operation and let them stay in the hospital.
Because it's too dangerous. When I was working at hospital we were allowed to use restrain items, when we got agreement document from family.
But nowadays, restrain items are prohibited. Maybe some hospitals are still using those items, but they have to use by strict control.
【Tips for taking care of dementia people】
1. Try to accept everything
2. The magical word for dementia people "Don't worry, everything is OK"
3. Don't make them angry
1. Try to accept everything
Please not to say "No" to them. Once you make them angry, they will be in a bad mood for a whole day. If they are searching something, just pretend searching with them, and after 3 or 5 min, change the topic. If it's the lunch time, I say, "Aren't you get hungry? "
... and so on.
2. The magical word for dementia people "Don't worry, everything is OK"
This is one of my favorite phrase to dementia people. They are confusing everything, so try to let them calm down and tell them you are always with them.
3. Don't make them angry
As I told you in a first tip, I recommend not to make them angry.
In my experience, dementia people remember uncomfortable feeling longer then comfortable feeling.
In recent years, there are many dementia people in Japan because of an aging society.
