Abstract
|
|
|
This study was conducted to analyze the experience of operators in implementing a tailored cognitive program devised for community-dwelling individuals with dementia. This study also aims to identify realistic and specific support plans necessary to establish client-centered community dementia management projects.
In October 2020, 17 individualized cognitive program operators were divided into small groups of 5 to 6 members, and focus group interviews were conducted. The resulting data were analyzed using conventional content analysis.
From the analysis, three areas, eight categories, and 22 subcategories of operational experience and activation plans were derived. Based on their operational experiences, the participants were able to identify patients who had recovered their self-esteem through the newly attempted program. In addition, the operators recovered their sense of responsibility and confidence. However, challenges faced by the operators were trial and error due to a lack of experience and practical difficulties in implementing the cognitive program Lastly, human support, improvement of the operating system, and environmental support were necessary to improve the program.
For individuals with dementia to continue living comfortably in their residences, efforts such as professional manpower training and creating an efficient operating environment for the operators are required to ensure continuity of the operators' services.
