Clinical Application of Occupational Therapy in Dementia and Delirium Care Management for Geriatrics

Synopsis

Dementia and delirium are amongst the most common causes of cognitive impairment in older adults. Older adults with dementia are at higher risk of experiencing delirium due to their underlying cognitive impairment. This is especially pertinent in the acute care setting, where patients with dementia are often admitted to unfamiliar environments with acute medical problems. It is therefore crucial for healthcare professionals to equip themselves with the knowledge to provide holistic and patient centric care for patients with dementia and delirium and their caregivers in the acute setting.
