Накратко на български

Услугата I-Do помага на хора с лека до умерена деменция да намират и планират подходящи културни и творчески занимания. Това подобрява качеството им на живот и намалява социалната изолация чрез подходяща интелектуална и емоционална стимулация.

Designing the I-Do Service: Facilitating Inclusion and Empowerment of People Living with Dementia through Access to Cultural and Creative Activities

Meaningful activities comprise physical, social and leisure activities that are tailored to a person's needs and preferences. People living with mild to moderate dementia are often missing opportunities to be actively involved in meaningful activities. This can be partly explained by dementia-related symptoms and self-stigmatisation affecting the capacity and confidence of people to continue or try new activities they enjoy. Further, there appears to be a gap in access to relevant activities. Participation in meaningful activities provides emotional, creative, and intellectual stimulation and thus can benefit the wellbeing of people with dementia and reduce social inclusion. Promoting participation helps to make societies more inclusive and follows WHO recommendations of developing non-pharmacological approaches for people with dementia to help preserve their quality of life in the absence of effective curative medical treatments. The aim of the I-Do Service project was to develop a user-friendly service for people living with mild to moderate dementia to realise themselves and contribute to society. The service allows people to plan, connect with and participate in tailored opportunities. It has been developed through a co-design approach with people living with dementia, their care partners, as well as staffs from age-related or activity-related organisations. This approach emphasises the need for making the involvement of end-users a priority by conducting research “with” or “by” users rather than “for” or “about” them to increase the legitimacy and validity of the investigation.

Цел на проекта

This fellowship will co-develop, implement and evaluate the I-Do service to increase the socio-cultural participation and empowerment of people living with mild to moderate stages of dementia (PLWD) through an interdisciplinary engaged research approach that combines service design and psychology with a co-design methodology. This user-friendly service will allow PLWD to plan, connect with and participate in tailored opportunities to realise themselves and contribute to society. The fellowship will use a co-design approach (Niedderer et al. 2019), working with PLWD, their relatives/familial carers as well as relevant stakeholders. It will develop the service model, i.e. the principles for format, content and delivery of the I-Do service, which it will implement and evaluate through a pilot in the area of Manchester, UK. The I-Do service addresses a key need of PLWD to be able to contribute and to be valued for it: Tournier et al 2017 found that PLWD are looking for more self-determination, to conduct activities on their own, to continue to learn new things and to be creative as well as to feel useful to others. This corroborates an investigation by Schölzel-Dorenbos et al. (2010) on this understudied topic, which shows that social contact, attachment, being useful/giving meaning to life, enjoyment of activities, and self-determination and freedom are key aspects of unmet needs for PLWD. I-Do will address these unmet needs through its novel interdisciplinary engaged community approach to develop the understanding of relevant and appropriate services for PLWD and to support the realisation of local and national policies regarding dementia friendly communities in the UK.
