Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vilka icke-farmakologiska behandlingar som kan användas vid oro hos personer med demens samt att beskriva vilken inverkan studerade icke-farmakologiska behandlingar hade på oro hos personer med demens. Vidare var syftet att kontrollera vilka datainsamlingsinstrument som användes vid mätning av oro i inkluderade studier samt om dessa testades i respektive studie gällande reliabilitet och validitet.

Metod: Detta var en beskrivande litteraturstudie, litteratur eftersöktes i de vetenskapliga databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. 13 studier inkluderades, dessa omfattade fem olika icke-farmakologiska behandlingsmetoder. Författarna läste, översatte och sammanställde först enskilt de valda studierna för att främja ett objektivt förhållningssätt. Den metodologiska aspekten datainsamling kontrollerades i inkluderade vetenskapliga studier.

Resultat: Det fanns varierande inverkan på orosnivån hos personer med demens av de icke-farmakologiska behandlingsmetoderna, musik-, arom-massage-, djurassisterad-, ljusterapi och Peacefull mind.

Slutsats: Majoriteten av inkluderade icke-farmakologiska behandlingsmetoder minskade orosnivån hos personer med demens. Lugnandeläkemedel har biverkningar, därför var icke-farmakologiska behandlingsmetoder ett allternativ till läkemedelsbehandling vid oro hos personer med demens. Detta examensarbete har inte tagit ställning till den långsiktiga effekten av icke-farmakologiska behandlingsmetoder för att minska oro hos personer med demens vilket innebär att författarna inte har kunskap om eventuella biverkningar.

The authors read, translated and complied first individually the chosen studies to promote an objective approach. The methodological aspect of data collection was controlled in included scientific studies.

Conclusion: The majority of included non-pharmacological methods of treatment decreased the level of anxiety in people with dementia. Sedative medications have side effects, therefore were non-pharmacological methods of treatment an alternative to pharmacological methods of treatment at anxiety in people with dementia. This essay has not taken a stand to the long-term impact of non-pharmacological methods of treatment to reduce anxiety in people with dementia which means that the authors have no knowledge of possible side effects.
