Careful monitoring by nursing assistants, combined with immediate positive feedback, may help residents of dementia care units engage more in daily activities.
D.E. Altus and colleagues from Westburn University, Topeka, Kansas, United States, evaluated a simple, inexpensive attempt to increase the engagement of residents in a locked dementia care unit in daily activities.
Nursing assistants who were working in the locked dementia care unit completed daily activity records for residents with dementia in their care. These records included both the amount and quality of each resident’s engagement in daily activities in the unit. Each day, the facility’s activity director read these records and gave the nursing assistants immediate, positive feedback.
