The Relationship

Background/Aims: Many variables influence the quality of life in older adults with dementia. We aim to quantify how the relationship between pain and quality of life in nursing home residents with severe dementia can be explained by neuropsychiatric symptoms, depressive symptoms, and activities of daily living. Methods: This article presents cross-sectional baseline data from a cluster randomised controlled trial. Results: The total and direct effects of pain on quality of life were statistically significant. Both neuropsychiatric and depressive symptoms partially mediated the relationship between pain and quality of life. Activities of daily living acted as a mediator only when modelled together with depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Pain, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and depressive symptoms appear to be important factors that influence the quality of life for nursing home residents with severe dementia. Therefore, multidimensional interventions may be beneficial for maintaining or improving quality of life in this population.

The Relationship

This study set out to clarify the association of apathy and depression in dementia as well as apathy's association with basic (ADLs) and instrumental (IADLs) activities of daily living and quality of life. 68 outpatients with mild dementia were assessed on apathy, depression, global cognition, traditional ADLs/IADLs, complex daily living activities requiring intact executive functioning (DAD: Disability Assessment for Dementia Scale), and quality of life. The sample was stratified into high and low global cognition groups and compared. While no relationship was found between scores on apathy and depression in the high cognition group, there was a significant relationship between apathy and depression in the low cognition group. Further, high and low cognition groups differed in the relationship between apathy and ability to perform basic and complex activities of daily living. Specifically, in the high cognition group, increased apathy was correlated with diminished ability to perform traditional IADLs as well as those activities requiring intact executive functioning (i.e., DAD). In the low cognition group, increased apathy was associated with poor performance on traditional ADLs and IADLs, but was not related to performance on independent daily activities demanding good executive functioning. Finally, increased apathy was significantly associated with worse quality of life, but this held for the high cognition group only, suggesting that dementia patients with better cognition have insight into their deficits and, perhaps, experience poor quality of life as a result.

The Relationship

Background The quality of life of the elderly is influenced by several factors such as physical health, psychological health,and good social relationships. Physical health is related to daily living activities that a person does in his daily lifeincluding ambulation, eating, dressing, bathing, brushing teeth and making up. At old age, a person will experience adecrease in physical condition which will affect the value of fulfilling one's daily living activities. This study aims toanalyze the relationship between the level of independence of daily living activities and the level of quality of life ofgeriatric patients. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The sampleswere geriatric patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang in September-October 2019. The sample of this study was55 respondents. Results: From 55 Geriatric patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang found 60% male respondentsand 40% female respondents, the 60-74 years age group as much as 74.5%, the 75-90 year age group as much as 25.5%,the 50-60 year age group as much as 26%. Chi-square test results showed a significant relationship between the level ofActivity Daily Living and the level of quality of life of geriatric patients (p value = 0.000). The results of the odds ratio ingeriatric patients state that the probability of improving the quality of life is 27.7 times greater in patients who have anindependent daily living activity level than in patients who have a total dependent daily living activity level. In theanalysis, it was also found that the level of daily living activity of geriatric patients is a protective factor for the quality oflife of geriatric patients. (95% CI = 0.006-0.206). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the level of dailyliving activity and the quality of life of geriatric patients in , dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang.
