Abstract

AIM: The aim of this study was to review research literature over the past 10 years on respite care for people affected by severe mental illness; and identify key implications for nursing practice in provision of respite care for family caregivers of people with severe mental illness. BACKGROUND: Family caregivers play an important role in health care, but need regular breaks to maintain their own health and well-being. Respite care is one of the few services available with a primary focus on supporting family caregivers. In most developed countries the notion of respite care as an extension of the health care service has been embraced, evidenced by a growing body of literature in health and health-related disciplines. METHODS: An initial literature search was undertaken using the key words "respite", "short-term care", "shared care" and "day care" in major electronic databases for nursing, psychiatry, psychology and sociology literature between 1967 and 2002, identifying 704 articles. Closer examination of the literature from 1993 to 2002 on gaps and trends in respite care for people affected by severe mental illness was conducted. This is discussed in the context of the broader literature, particularly on dementia, where the mainstream research on respite care is found. RESULTS: The majority of family caregiving studies identified a need for greater quality, quantity, variety and flexibility in respite provision, and the literature has remained largely silent in relation to those affected by severe mental illness. There are contradictory findings on outcomes of respite care services and a lack of controlled empirical studies and evaluative research on effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: Respite care is beneficial for caregivers, there is significant unmet need in provision of services for the mentally ill, and greater flexibility and the needs of caregivers should be recognised and addressed.

411. The neuropsychological profile of vascular cognitive impairment in stroke and TIA patients

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the neuropsychological profile of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and vascular dementia (VaD). METHODS: The authors examined 170 patients with stroke or TIA at 3 to 6 months after the vascular event, and 96 age-matched healthy controls, with detailed neuropsychological and medical-psychiatric assessments, with a majority (66.7%) undergoing MRI brain scans. The subjects were diagnosed as having VaD, VCI, or no cognitive impairment by consensus. The neuropsychological tests were classified into cognitive domains, and composite z-scores adjusted for age and education. RESULTS: VaD subjects had disturbance in all cognitive domains, with verbal memory, especially retention, being less affected. VCI subjects had similar but less severe disturbance. The domains that best discriminated cognitively impaired from unimpaired patients were abstraction, mental flexibility, information processing speed, and working memory. Cognitive impairment had a significant correlation with deep white matter hyperintensities, but not with volume and number of infarctions, even though the VaD subjects had larger infarct volumes than VCI subjects. The MRI variables did not provide additional discrimination between subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: The cognitive deficits in VaD and VCI are characterized by disturbance of frontal functions, with less verbal memory impairment. VaD and VCI differ in severity but not pattern of disturbance. The brain lesions that best account for these deficits are noninfarct subcortical white matter and gray matter changes due to ischemia. The picture of VaD/VCI presented shows subcortical deficits embellished by cognitive deficits from cortical infarctions.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To examine the progression of neuropsychological deficits in stroke patients with and without cognitive impairment. METHODS: The authors assessed the Sydney Stroke Study cohort 1 year after index assessment with detailed neuropsychological and medical-psychiatric assessments. The neuropsychological tests were classified into cognitive domains, and composite z-scores adjusted for age and education. Changes in cognitive test scores were compared between groups and predictors of cognitive change examined. RESULTS: Patients (n = 128) had a mean decline of 0.83 (SD 2.2) points on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) compared to an increase of 0.76 (1.3) in controls (n = 78) (p
