Pentecost, Claire Quinn, Catherine Clare, Linda 2022 The extent to which people with dementia are involved in everyday decision-making is unclear. We explored informant-rated involvement of people with dementia in everyday decision-making over 2 years and whether functional, behavioral, and psychological factors related to the person with dementia and the caregiver explain variability in involvement of people with dementia in everyday decision-making. We used IDEAL data for 1182 people with dementia and their caregivers. Baseline mean score on the decision-making involvement scale was 31/45; it minimally declined over time. People with dementia who were female, single, and/or whose caregiver was younger had greater involvement in everyday decision-making than those without these characteristics. Better cognition, fewer functional difficulties, fewer neuropsychiatric symptoms, less caregiver stress, and better informant-rated relationship quality were associated with higher involvement in everyday decision-making. Cognitive and functional rehabilitation, and educational resources for caregivers, could prolong involvement of people with dementia in everyday decision-making. application/pdf https://localhost:5000/ark:/12658/srd1325634 https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/325634 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/325634/files/Sabatini_2022_SAGE_jag.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1177/07334648221128558 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1325634 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess CC BY Journal of applied gerontology. - 2022, vol. 42, no. 2, p. 290–301 Alzheimer’s disease Caregiving Functional ability Cognitive capacity Neuropsychiatric symptoms Caregiver stress Relationship quality info:eu-repo/classification/udc/61 Longitudinal predictors of informant-rated involvement of people with dementia in everyday decision-making : findings from the IDEAL program http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
