Alzheimer\u2019s diseases progresses with time and has no cure. Effective communication can help patients live a meaningful life.<\/p>\n

\n

Age is one of the biggest risk factors for Alzheimer\u2019s disease and the percentage of people suffering from this disease is increasing dramatically as the years go by. According to US-based Alzheimer\u2019s Association<\/a>, the percentage of people aged between 65 to 74 years who have Alzheimer\u2019s is five percent. This grows to 13.1 percent between the ages 75 of 84, and 33.3 percent at the age of 85 years and above. Alzheimer patients face memory loss, problem solving, language difficulties, along with feeling disoriented; and need extra care at home. The role of the caregiver in an Alzheimer\u2019s patient is paramount, and there is an integral need for effective communication. So, learning some tips for communicating with an Alzheimer\u2019s disease patient may be a good idea.<\/p>\n

Neurologist Dr Balaji<\/a> and psychiatrist Dr Shivangini Singh<\/a>, tell Health Shots about effective communication strategies when it comes to taking care of Alzheimer\u2019s patients.<\/p>\n

What is Alzheimer\u2019s disease?<\/h2>\n

When someone has Alzheimer\u2019s disease, it means that there usually is a problem in the brain that makes it hard for people to remember things, think clearly and act normally. \u201cThis progressive brain disorder interferes with a person\u2019s memory, thinking, and behaviour. It gradually worsens over time, often beginning with mild memory loss and eventually leading to severe impairment in daily functioning,\u201d explains Dr Balaji.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease not only affects the memory but also the thinking capacity, communication skills, self-care abilities and the person\u2019s behaviour overtime. \u201cIt is a gradual process with no cure available till date. Hence, lifestyle and behavioural changes are the key for best response and improvement. Effective communication can make a major difference in improving the quality of life of the patient,\u201d says Dr Singh.<\/p>\n

How to communicate with Alzheimer\u2019s patients?<\/h2>\n

1. Change your approach<\/h3>\n

It is very important for the caregiver to make eye contact all the time while talking to an Alzheimer\u2019s patient. Also, remember to address the individual by his or her name. \u201cIt is essential to pay attention to your body language, tone of voice, and how you look at the other person, while communicating with an Alzheimer\u2019s patient,\u201d says Dr Singh.<\/p>\n

2. Interaction<\/h3>\n

Good interaction is the key to effective communication with an Alzheimer\u2019s patient. Encourage dialogue that is reciprocal for as long as you can. \u201cAlso, remember to use nonverbal cues, such light touch, in addition to speech,\u201d says Dr Singh.<\/p>\n

3. Be empathetic<\/h3>\n

Act in a kind, caring, and straightforward manner. As you converse with an Alzheimer\u2019s patient, hold their hand. Even if the person is facing difficulties in grasping, it is very important for the caregiver to be receptive to their worries. \u201cAllow the patient to make whatever decisions that he can make. If an Alzheimer\u2019s patient becomes angry, the caregiver must remember to be patient. Always remember that it is the sickness that is \u201ctalking\u201d during such altercations,\u201d says Dr Singh.<\/p>\n

4. Talk effectively<\/h3>\n

While interacting with an Alzheimer\u2019s patient, be direct and specific in your conversation. Make you that you are providing clear and detailed directions. \u201cMake sure to give the directions again, if you have to, and give yourself more time to hear a response. Aim to avoid interjecting or speaking to them in a baby voice or doing baby talk,\u201d says Dr Singh.<\/p>\n

5. Use resources<\/h3>\n

It is very important to help Alzheimer\u2019s patients feel connected. \u201cFeel free to show pictures to patients, or other familiar cues to improve discussion,\u201d says Dr Singh. This also helps them stimulate their brain, it improves memory and prolongs cognitive ability.<\/p>\n

How does the disease progress?<\/h2>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease progresses through distinct stages, each characterised by specific symptoms and levels of impairment. \u201cIn the early stage, individuals may experience mild memory lapses and subtle changes in cognitive function. As the disease advances to the middle stage, memory loss becomes more pronounced, along with increased confusion and difficulty with tasks like planning and organizing,\u201d explains Dr Balaji. In the late stage, severe cognitive decline occurs, leading to profound memory loss such as forgetting names of family members & everyday objects, loss of verbal communication, and dependence on others for daily care.<\/p>\n

How long can a person live with Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/h2>\n

People can live with Alzheimer\u2019s for different amounts of time. \u201cOn average, it\u2019s around 4 to 8 years after they\u2019re diagnosed. But some people live longer, and some don\u2019t live as long. It depends on many things like age and overall health,\u201d says Dr Balaji. Quality of care, access to medical treatment, and support from caregivers also play significant roles in determining life expectancy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
