Description
Prophylaxis means measures designed to preserve health. In relation to dementia care we can talk of four different levels of preventing the disease and preserving health. In the presentation the latest Cochrane review as well as a literature review from the journal Ageing & Mental Health will be presented. Further, different ongoing research studies will be introduced where the use of music in relation to treatment, diagnosis and rehabilitation is investigated, and where there is a focus on whether music activities or music therapy can reduce agitation and depression and the use of physical and chemical restraints in dementia care.Ridder, H.M.
