Single case experimental design as a tool for assessing individuals with Alzheimers's disease

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

OBJECTIVE: This article presents the findings of a research study on a selected patient diagnosed with Alzheimer&apos;s disease. The objective of the research was to showcase the single case experimental design as an effective method for qualitative and detailed observation of individual progression in patients with specific neurodegenerative conditions. The paper highlights examples of best practices from the perspective of caregiving professions.METHODS: In our research, we employed the single case experimental design method, allowing for a detailed examination of the effects of our intervention strategies on an individual subject (N = 1). This approach utilized the ABAB model, where phase A represents a period without intervention and phase B signifies a period with intervention. This methodology facilitated a comprehensive analysis of the intervention&apos;s impact. The preliminary study was conducted over the course of 2021, involving regular sessions held three times a week for approximately 50 minutes each, tailored to the subject&apos;s individual needs. This method provided a robust foundation for designing interventions in the main study.RESULTS: The presented results demonstrate that when the intervention was intentionally omitted, the patient regressed to the baseline levels assessed in the initial tests.CONCLUSION: The utilization of the single case experimental design highlighted its utility in providing insightful, granular data on the regression and progression patterns of Alzheimer?s patients, offering vital insights for developing targeted interventions. These findings underscore the importance of continuous and structured intervention to sustain improvements in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
