Depression is common in most forms of dementia. The relationship appears to be bi-directional, with depression being both a prodromal (or early) symptom and a risk factor for developing dementia. Depression and anxiety can also contribute to accelerated cognitive decline and reduced quality of life in people with dementia. This chapter will outline the relationship between depression and dementia and consider the use of personalized musical playlists to address depression in people with dementia. Although listening to music is a powerful means for improving mood among certain groups, people with depression and people with dementia appear to be vulnerable to music triggering negative thoughts or negative memories. Both the benefits and the risks to be considered in playlist selection will be discussed.

Assessment Questionnaire

Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with cognitive decline, progressing from subjective memory complaints (SMC) via mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia. SMC are only measurable by an interview and thus rely on individuals reporting a subjectively perceived worsening of cognitive functioning. Cognitive decline is accompanied by a reduction in quality of life (QoL); however, the extent to which SMC manifest a reduction of QoL remains unclear. Objective. To determine the association between SMC and deterioration of QoL in patients suffering from PD. Methods. A total of 46 cognitively unimpaired PD patients (29 men and 17 women) completed PDQ-39, two assessments to measure SMC (Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) and a Self-Assessment questionnaire), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Multiple regression modelling was conducted to investigate the confounding effect of depression and anxiety. Results. The PDQ-39 domain cognitions, but not the PDQ-39 sum score, correlated significantly with the SMC Self-Assessment questionnaire (r = 0.57; p<0.001). The conducted regression model indicates a significant confounding effect of depression and anxiety (p<0.001, R2 = 0.55). Conclusion. In our study, SMC is significantly related to a reduction of cognitive QoL. In addition, we observed significant relation to anxiety and depression levels. In contrast to our main hypothesis, we found no association with overall QoL; this lack of association could be due to unstandardized questionnaires and emphasizes the need of validated tools for evaluating SMC.

Circadian Rhythm Disorders

Abstract The number of people with dementia is increasing worldwide. Circadian rhythm disorders and sleep problems are very common in this population and can have profound effects on well-being. Healthy Patterns Clinical Trial (NCT03682185) is a home-based activity intervention designed to improve circadian rhythm disorders and quality of life in people with dementia and their family caregivers. This symposium is designed to discuss the relationship between sleep characteristics and neighborhood environment, function, and psychological well-being in people with dementia. All analyses in this session were conducted on baseline data from participants enrolled in the Healthy Patterns Clinical Trial. We enrolled 170 individuals (67% female), aged (73.35 ± 8.74) with mean Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scores of (0.74 ± 0.51). Session 1 describes the role of neighborhood factors as influencing factors affecting sleep. Session 2 focuses on the relationship between sleep and mood. Session 3 focuses on the relationship between sleep and function. Session 4 focuses on the relationship between sleep and quality of life. Implications for future research and intervention development for people with dementia will be discussed.

Measuring Quality of Life (QOL) can be difficult due to its individual character. To explore the value of personalized QOL measurement for people with dementia, personalized versions of two dementia-specific QOL scales (Dementia quality of Life (DQoL) and Quaility of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QoL-AD)) were constructed. This study investigated whether the personalized measures are more valid to detect variations in QOL than their standard versions for people with mild to moderate dementia, with sufficient internal consistency. Moreover, the relationship between the personalized QOL measures and severity of dementia was investigated. Finally, the study explored the differences between countries regarding the personalized overall QOL and differences in the importance of QOL domains. This explorative one-group design study used baseline data from the MEETINGDEM study into the implementation of the Meeting Centres Support Programme in Italy, Poland and the UK. The personalized versions of the DQoL and QoL-AD were reliable, but not more valid than their standard versions. No relationship between severity of dementia and personalized QOL was found. While no differences were found between countries for the overall QOL score, some QOL domains were valued differently: people with dementia from the UK rated self-esteem, mood, physical health, energy level and the ability to do chores around the house significantly less important than people from Italy and Poland. The personalized versions of the DQoL and QoL-AD may offer dementia care practice important insights into what domains contribute most to an individual’s QOL.

Background: Caregivers, as one of the most important roles in caring for a person with dementia, have a challenging task. Therefore, maintaining the quality of life (QoL) of caregivers is an integral part of dementia care. Objective: To explore the relationship between the QoL of people with dementia and their caregivers in Indonesia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using binary correlations to analyze the relationship between people with dementia and caregivers’ QoL. Conducted in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Jakarta, the subjects were 42 people diagnosed with dementia according to the PPDGJ-III (adapted from the ICD 10) and 42 primary caregivers with at least 6 hours duration of caregiving per day. The QoL of people with dementia was measured by EuroQol-5D and VAS EQ-5D, while severity of dementia was measured by MMSE. Caregivers underwent an interview using WHO Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL-BREF) and NPI. Results: Most caregivers were women, aged 40–70 years old. The study found caregivers’ QoL environmental domain strongly correlated with people with dementia’s QoL (r = 0.839). Severity of dementia had a strong correlation with caregivers’ QoL physical domain (r = 0.946). Age, duration of caregiving per day, period of care provided by caregivers, and caregiver’s distress had a strong correlation with caregiver QoL for specific domains. Conclusion: There was a strong correlation between people with dementia’s QoL and caregiver QoL, so in managing dementia, clinicians should consider caregivers’ wellbeing as an essential part significantly affecting the quality of elderly care improvement.

AbstractBackground:As a psychological being, quality of life is one of the most important part to human. Many things could affect one’s quality of life, in elderly, Dementia is one of them. In 2013 approximately there were 960.000 people with dementia (PWD) in Indonesia. Caregiver who take care of PWDs’ daily activity have an important role and maybe prone to stress, guilty feeling, anger and sad due to hardship of caregiving the PWD. Therefore caregivers’ quality of life is substantial as PWDs’ quality of life.Aims:This study objective was to know the relationship of quality of life people with dementia and their caregiver in Indonesia.Methods:A descriptive-analytic study was conducted in RSUPN Dr. Ciptomangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta. Eighty four subjects were participated (42 PWD and 42 caregivers). PWD subjects were interviewed using questionnaires EQ-5D and severity of dementia measured using MMSE. Meanwhile caregivers’ QOL was measured using WHOQOL-BREF. Data was analyzed using binary correlation between PWD and Caregivers’ quality of life.Results:There was no correlation of PWD physical health and caregivers’ quality of life. However there was strong correlation between quality of health PWD and caregivers’QOL notably in environmental domain (r = 0.839). And there were also a strong correlation between PWD severity of dementia and caregiver’s QOL inphysical domain (r = 0.946). Some of caregivers’ factor influencing quality of life were age (r = 0.805), duration of caregiving each day (r = 0.362) and experience of caregiving (r = 0.927)Conclusion:Study found that the quality of health PWD had a strong correlation with caregiver’s QOL specifically in environmental domain.Internal factors related to caregiversQOL were age, duration of caregiving each day and experience of caregiving. Future study should be focused on objective measurement of quantify health quality.These findings suggest that caregivers’ quality of life also an essential part in managing dementia.

Abstract Background Patients with lung cancer (LC) have a poor quality of life (QoL) and easily suffer from psychological diseases. Previous studies focused less on the relationship between genetic factors and QoL, depression, and anxiety status in LC patients. The current study is intended to explore the relationship between SNPs and haplotypes of ERCC1 and ERCC2 and the QoL, depression and anxiety status of patients with LC. Methods QoL, depression and anxiety status were assessed in 291 LC patients using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30), EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer 13 (QLQ-LC13), SDS and SAS. Nine tag SNPs of ERCC1 and ERCC2 were detected using an improved multiplex ligation detection reaction (iMLDR) technique. Haplotype analysis was conducted using the software Haploview 4.2. The association between SNPs or haplotypes and QoL or depression or anxiety in LC patients was analyzed by regression analysis. Results ERCC1 rs11615 was associated with emotional functioning (P = 0.027), and ERCC1 rs3212986 was associated with anxiety scores (P = 0.018). ERCC1 rs762562-rs3212986 haplotype was associated with cognitive function (P = 0.029), somatic function (P = 0.014) and dysphagia (OR = 3.32, P = 0.044). Patients with ERCC1 rs3212986-rs11615 AG haplotype had worse cognitive function (adjusted Beta = − 5.42) and somatic function (adjusted Beta = − 6.55) and had severer symptoms of loss of appetite (adjusted OR = 1.67) and dysphagia (adjusted OR = 4.43) (All adjusted P < 0.05). ERCC2 rs13181-rs3916874-rs238416 haplotype was associated with emotional functioning (P = 0.035), pain at other sites (OR 1.88, P = 0.014), chest pain (OR 0.42, P = 0.02), dysphagia (OR 2.82, P = 0.048), and anxiety status (OR 0.23, P = 0.009). Conclusion After adjustment for environmental factors, SNPs and haplotypes of ERCC1 and ERCC2 were associated with different domains of QoL, depression and anxiety in LC patients.
