USE OF REMINISCENCE AND BIOGRAPHY IN CARE OF PEOPLE SUFFERNIG FROM DEMENTIA IN HOME ENVIRONMENT

Original language description

Introduction:The aging population is becoming a worldwide problem of our time. Even the Czech population began to age faster after 2010. Together with the increasing number of seniors and longer life expectancy, dementia is also on the rise. Dementia is an epidemic of the 21st century. Our paper focuses on personal stories of people with dementia at home. Methods:The text discusses an innovative approach to caring for elderly with dementia with the use of personal histories and has rather a discursive character. Goal: The aim of this paper is to highlight the advantages and choices of the application of reminiscence therapy and autobiographical care model to bring patients with dementia maximum benefit. Contents:Dementia represents a relatively large group of diseases with different causes and extent. Although people with dementia lose some attributes of their personality and contact with themselves, they are always human beings and are entitled to respect and adequate care. It is necessary to depart from the dogma that people with dementia are uncommunicative and that caring for people with dementia is very hard. At present, there is effort to move the care of these patients to the home environment in order to maximise the potential of the known environment and the family. Conclusion: The main goal of society should be to improve the quality of life of all individuals and respect ethical aspects of care. One way to offer dignified care to patients with dementia is the use of reminiscence and biography.
