Course description
More than half of all nursing home residents, or more than 2 million long-term residents, have Alzheimer’s disease or other conditions causing dementia. Approximately 1.2 million professional caregivers provide this long-term and costly care. The available literature suggests that many professional caregiving issues are similar to that of family caregiving including physical exhaustion, emotional depletion, and grief at the loss of their patients. In addition, professional caregivers encounter other issues that family caregivers may not experience such as work overload, increased demands for efficiency within managed health care environments, job burnout, and staff turnover. This course examines the stressors inherent to working with Alzheimer’s patients and methods of self care for these professionals.
