Maintenance of Occupational Therapy for Patients With Alzheimer

Information on the presence, severity and impact of behavioral disorders. NPI is used to evaluate 12 different types of behavior: delusions, apathy, hallucinations, disinhibition, agitation, irritability, depression, aberrant motor behavior, anxiety, night behavior, euphoria, change in appetite and eating behaviors. This inventory is based on the responses obtained by an informed caregiver, preferably living with the patient. The interview is preferably conducted with the caregiver in the patient's absence, to facilitate open discussion of behaviors that may be difficult to describe in the presence of the patient. If a disorder is present, the caregiver should rate the disorder (1: sometimes, 2: quite often, 3: frequently, 4: very frequently) and the severity of the disorder (1: mild, 2: average ; 3: important). An overall score ranging from 0 to 144 is then calculated, a high score representing greater symptoms in presence, frequency and severity.

This scale concerns the activities of the patient in his daily life (dressing, toilet, medication management in particular). It evaluates 5 basic activities and 5 instrumental activities. Each of the 10 activities is broken down into 3 factors entitled: "initiation" ("the patient takes only the initiative of"), "organization" ("he or she plans, organizes the activity"), "effective action" (" the activity is carried out efficiently "). The DAD is completed during an interview with the caregiver. An overall score ranges from 0 to 40, this score is converted to a percentage.

This 13-item scale explores 6 areas of subjective health: fitness, mood, memory, the patient's relationship with family members, financial hardship, and general health. This tool generates quality of life scores per patient ranging from 13 to 52. This score can be weighted by the answers provided by the caregiver. For this weighting, we multiply the patient score by 2, add the caregiver score and divide by 3 to bring the score back to that of the initial scale.

This hetero-evaluation scale is used to assess the depressive symptomatology by exploring 10 components: apparent sadness, expressed sadness, internal tension, sleep reduction, appetite reduction, concentration, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, suicide ideas. Each component is rated from 0 to 6. The total score ranges from 0 to 60, a high score characterizing a depressive symptomatology.

This questionnaire that collects information on the presence of apathy in patients suffering from cerebral pathologies. It allows the assessment of three clinical dimensions of apathy: emotional blurring, loss of initiative and loss of interest. The assessment is based on the answers of the accompanying person, and because of this, it can also be carried out in severe deteriorations. The possibility of obtaining the patient's appreciation also makes it possible to evaluate the patient's awareness of his disorders. The evaluation of these 3 dimensions takes into account the frequency (rated from 1 to 4) and the severity of the symptoms (rated from 1 to 3). The score for each dimension is obtained by multiplying these two scores, so that the score for each dimension varies from 0 (absence of the symptom) to 12 (very frequent symptom and of serious gravity)

Questionnaire estimating medical and medico-social costs related to patient care. This estimate is based on the assessment of the amount of formal resources (drug treatment, hospitalization, outpatient, day hospital, social services, home care) and informal (care and support provided by the caregiver) implied by the daily care of the patient; the resources are valued economically by using the rates of the health insurance and the hourly costs of the medico-social help at home
