Dementia is becoming one of the most common disease in an old age. It is a set of symptoms which is created on the basis of the chronic or progressive brain disease. The most common cause of dementia is the Alzheimer´s disease. Currently there is no cure for dementia but it is possible to slow down the progress and make that the life of a patient better. The sensory activation is a concept which serves to seniors and mainly to people with dementia disease. Among people with this disease, the sensory stimulation is used mainly for strengthening and the usage of existing competencies. It´s main objective is to keep or refresh a patient´s own social and substantive competencies. It is important to use this method and provide a patient with dementia with honourable, active and meaningful old age. The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical and an empirical one. The theoretical part contains information dealing with the problem of dementia. There we will learn what the dementia is, what is the cause of it, how the dementia is diagnosed and what the communication with people suffering with dementia should be like. Then the theoretical part contains information about the concept of the sensory activation. We will learn what is the goal of it, we will find some information about the tools used for the sensory activation, it´s planning and the subsequent realization. There is a chapter called "a human biography" which is very important for the method of sensory activation. In the next part there are described some other models of caretaking, for example the model of professor Erwin Bohm and the model of Validation by Naomi Feil. |
