Making Sense of Dementia, a Disease That Makes No Sense
|
|
Wednesday, June 24
Dementia in American Indian and Alaska Native communities is on the rise. Despite growing recognition of the disease, it can be difficult to understand it and know how best to support caregivers. This presentation will share findings from the first ever study on cultural understandings of dementia in Alaska and explain why it’s important to capture cultural understandings. The presentation will conclude with tips and recommendations for integrating cultural values and practices into caregiver programs and services.
Objectives:
- Review Arthur Kleinman’s explanatory model of illness
- List three reasons for integrating culture into caregiver programs and services
- Describe the goal and purpose of the Savvy Caregiver program
