Evidence-based practice - Essay

Dementia is a disease that declines an individuals’ ability to memorize and recall which is caused

by the death of brain cells. Dementia disables a persons’ ability to perform day to day activity.

Dementia is not a single disease (like related to a heart) but is more like a group of symptoms that

gradually affects the normal routine, activities and memory of a person (Zhang et al., 2017). There

are different models that involve different treatments of this disease. This essay explores the past

literature related to contemporary dementia care practices. In order to narrow down the research,

two contemporary models of dementia care are taken and are critically analyzed to discover the

effectiveness of both.

Dementia is a wide range of brain disorders typically of a persistent and continuous nature that

causes gradual decline/degeneration in the mental capacity (i.e. the ability to think) of an individual

beyond the standards of natural ageing (Budson & Solomon, 2011). It primarily impacts memory,

comprehension, perception, calculation, language, motivation, judgment etc. However, it usually

does not impact consciousness (WHO, 2019). The incidence of dementia rises substantially with

age, with the psychological and behavioural manifestations of dementia greatly leading to

compromised welfare and quality of life (Crespo, Hornillos & De Quirós, 2013). Subsequently,

dementia is far more prevalent in long-standing care facilities than in the community level, creating

significant obstacles for care providers, and efficient methods and interventions are crucial for

enhancing the situation of dementia patients within such settings/environments (Seitz, Purandare

& Conn, 2010). Cognitive dysfunction is usually associated with, or often accompanied by, a

decline in emotional regulation, social activity or motivation. There are numerous forms of

dementia. The most prevalent type is Alzheimer's disease which may account for 60% to 70% of

the cases. Other common types include vascular dementia (25%), dementia with Lewy bodies
