Håndtering af alzheimers og demens

»Man mister Emma Gad!« Det er et af de første og mest synlige tegn på, at man lider af frontotemporal demens. Når hjernen visner er den første dansksprogede bog om pårørendes liv med ægtefæller eller forældre, der lider af frontotemporal demens.Denne demenstype (også kaldet frontallapsdemens) er især kendetegnet ved, at de ramte mister ’deres gode opdragelse’ og deres naturlige empati. De kan bl.a.:blive verbalt ubehagelige, hvor de kalder deres ægtefæller voldsomt grimme tingsmide tøjet i offentlighedenkomme med upassende, seksuelle tilbud til både fremmede, gamle venner eller egne børnbegynde at smårapse i butikkerne, når de er på indkøb.De første symptomer opstår som regel, når patienten er i 50’erne, men ofte tager det mange år, før diagnosen ligger klar. Det giver et yderligere pres på de pårørende, der kan mærke, at noget ikke er, som det plejer, mens læger og psykologer har svært ved at finde årsagen.Når hjernen visner indeholder historier fra 11 ægtefæller og seks børn om, hvad demensen har betydet for deres mand, kone, far eller mor og forholdet til dem. Bogen er en hjælp til andre pårørende, der har brug for at vide, at de ikke er alene, og den er en øjenåbner til læger, psykologer og andet sundhedspersonale, der her får en unik indsigt i, hvad man kæmper med som pårørende, og hvordan man bedst kan hjælpe som fagperson.Når hjernen visner er redigeret af Charlotte Helsted, enke efter en mand med frototemporal demens, og Ingrid Lauridsen, cand.psych. med speciale i gerontopsykologi.

Demenssprog sætter fokus på, hvordan vi, der er raske, bliver bedre til at 'oversætte' demenssprog og selv blive i stand til at 'tale' sproget, så vi kan skabe bedre rammer for mennesker, der har demens.Bogen giver både råd og værktøjer til, hvordan vi kan sætte os bedre ind i mennesker, der har demens. Bogen tager udgangspunkt i modellen 'isbjerget', der kan forklare den adfærd, som mennesker med demens viser os: Over vandet er adfærden, vi kan se med det blotte øje, men under vandet er de følelser og psykologiske behov, der ikke opfyldes.Vi er nødt til at blive bedre til at sætte os ind i de ønsker og behov, som mennesker med demens har, og bogen her giver endelig de redskaber, som vi så ofte mangler til dette.Demenssprog henvender sig til alt plejepersonale i hjemmeplejen og på plejecentre samt pårørende for og mennesker med demens.

"Min bedstefar hedder Kaj og min bedstemor hedder Gerda. Jeg besøger dem tit. Min bedstefar har 123 forskellige blomster i sin udestue og han kan alle 123 navne udenad. På latin. Mig kalder han Stump."Stump har stribevis af gode stunder hos sin bedstefar og bedstemor, med blomster, puslespil, kryds-og-tværs og kærlighed. En dag opdager Stump, at bedstefar er begyndt at tabe ord; helt bogstaveligt drysser de efter ham og han kan ikke mere huske, hvad forskellige ting hedder. Bedstemor opdager det først den nat, han er gået ud i snevejr, og ordene ligger og lyser i sneen. Men hun kan sine tricks og sammen med Stump lykkes det hende at få tilrettelagt en stribe gode stunder for bedstefar. En smuk og ærlig billedbog, der vil hjælpe børn med at forstå, hvad der sker, når nogen bliver ramt af demens eller alzheimers. Bogen er blevet til i samarbejde med Erindringscenter Bornholm og indeholder et efterord til den voksne læser, skrevet af Ove Dahl, historiker og leder af Dansk Center for Reminiscens – om hvordan man bl.a. ved hjælp af genstande kan etablere et meningsfuldt samvær, selv i fremskredne stadier af sygdommen.”Lille, gribende, fortælling” Carsten G. Johansen, Helse ”Det er nogle år, siden jeg har læst H. C. Andersens Snedronningen, men jeg mindes, at jeg som barn syntes, det var uhyggeligt, hvordan Kaj kunne forandre sig så drastisk, og hvor modig og stærk Gerda var i sin vedholdende kærlighed. Symbolikken passer rigtigt fint i denne bog, der mest af alt handler om kærligheden og livets foranderlighed” Katrine Colmorn, Litteratursiden.dk ”Det kan ikke gøres smukkere” ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Steffen Larsen, Politiken

I Danmark lever næsten 90.000 mennesker med en demenssygdom, og hvert år registreres cirka 8.000 nye tilfælde af demens. Samtidig stilles diagnosen tidligere i sygdomsforløbet, hvorfor der i stigende grad er brug for kvalificerede tilbud til mennesker med demens i et tidligt stadie. Tilbud, der giver mening for personen med demens - og er rettet mod at stimulere personens hjerne.Kompenserende undervisning til personer med demens tager udgangspunkt i personens færdigheder og potentiale. Undervisningen sigter mod at styrke personens selvværd og tro på egne evner - og har til formål at bevare personens interesse for det omgivende samfundsamt forbedre dennes mulighed for aktiv deltagelse i eget liv. Denne bog er en inspirations- og metodebog til ansatte i kommuner, som ønsker at tilbydekompenserende undervisning til borgere med demens, fagpersoner på dagtilbud, aktivitetscentre og lignende, som søger idéer til kognitiv stimulation og samtalestøtte, der kan styrke den demensramte personstænkning og sociale færdigheder, og pårørende kan hente inspiration i bogen til meningsfuldt samvær med deres demens syge ægtefælle, ven eller familiemedlem.

Gennem sprækkerne er en bog om kærlighed. Marianne Iben Hansen skriver smukt og rørende om sin fars demensforløb. Om de mange svære følelser, modstanden, sorgen, de uløselige dilemmaer og forsøgene på at håndtere det uforudsigelige. Men også om den gradvise overgivelse, der munder ud i en uventet inderlig kontakt – ikke på trods af demensen, men i kraft af den.”Kærlighed blev noget, vi hvilede i, ikke noget den ene følte for den anden. At give fik en ny betydning, og at fortjene mistede sin relevans. Det har medført et jordskred i det fundament, min personlighed hviler på”.Skildringen er levende og præcis, og refleksionerne er båret af forfatterens oprigtige ønske om at møde og udforske det nye, der åbner sig, i stedet for at se bagud mod det, der er mistet. De opdagelser, hun gør undervejs, om sig selv, om sin far og om nærværet mellem dem, er ikke kun vedkommende, hvis man har demens tæt inde på livet. Det handler om at være menneske og om at finde ind til hinanden, også når livet er præget af alder eller sygdom, og når tab og forandringer er et vilkår.

"I morgen er en ny dag" er en bog om at være pårørende til en demensramt ægtefælle. Det er ikke kun en bog, der skal læses, det er også en bog, som pårørende selv kan skrive i. Med udgangspunkt i sine egne oplevelser fortæller Nina Harboe indlevende om sine tanker og erfaringer i alle faserne i forløbet: Om de første sygdomstegn, om det gradvise tab af fællesskab, om tiden på plejehjem og om vigtigheden af at dele sin sorg, sin tvivl og sine tanker med andre. I bogen deles også erfaringer med, hvordan man får taget en værdig afsked, og hvordan man kommer på benene igen som efterladt. Frem for alt er I morgen er en ny dag en brugsbog, der indbyder til refleksion og eftertanke. Læs mere på www.ninasklumme.dk

Die in diesem Band versammelten Geschichten sind alle unterschiedlich und doch haben sie einen gemeinsamen Kern: eine Liebe für die Gegensätzlichkeit der Existenz. Eine, die alles umhüllt.

Beide haben ihre Berechtigung, beide halten uns am Leben. Wir brauchen beide und diese Texte zeigen auf, wie wir sie in Einklang bringen können, indem wir den Widerspruch erkennen und ihn in der Akzeptanz überwinden.

Det er ret overraskende, at der ikke findes særlig meget viden eller udgivet litteratur om mennesker med udviklingshæmning, ifølge forfatteren Anette Vinther Mortensen. Hun har udviklet en demensmodel, hvor hun præsenterer otte demenssymptomer, der kan opstå, når mennesker med udviklingshæmning rammes af demens. Den tager afsæt i mennesker med udviklingshæmning og demens - med særligt fokus på Downs syndrom. Demenssymptomerne er dog almengyldige, og bogens indhold er derfor også brugbart i den brede befolkning. Bogen klæder professionelle medarbejdere såvel som pårørende på til at være en aktiv del af den tidlige og essentielle opsporing af demens. En rettidig diagnose er central for, at mennesker med demens kan modtage den rette indsats, det rette sted. Bogen formidler viden og bidrager til kvalificeringen af såvel den aktuelle som den fremtidige pædagogiske faglige indsats. Bogens målgruppe er pædagoger, pårørende, medarbejdere inden for ældreområdet og diverse uddannelsesinstitutioner, der uddanner personale, der kommer i berøring med mennesker med demens – uanset deres kognitive funktionsniveau. Anette Vinther Mortensen er uddannet pædagog og har i de seneste ca 20 år arbejdet som socialpædagog indenfor specialområdet i forhold til borgere med udviklingshæmning og demens.
