Introduction• Paradigm shift of patient care focus
from inpatient to community setting • Increasing number of older adults was
happened globally• HK Census & Statistics (2001) showed
that nearly 15% of the population with aged 60+.
• In HK, 6% of elderly persons aged 70 or above suffer from dementia (Chiu, Lam, Leung, et al, 1998).
![Page 3: Rebecca Chan (RN), Woo CP (RN), Yvonne Chan (WM), Eva Yim (RN) & Dr Bernard Kong](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56814aee550346895db7fbcb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Introduction• Early detection & intervention for
dementia elders is crucial.• So, one stop service on dementia care
& strengthening the partnership with community partners must be amplified.
• Hence, the Hospital-Community partnership for providing one-stop dementia day care services has been commenced since 24 October 2003 in WCHH.

A Evaluation on Effectiveness of
Project from Nursing
Perspective
![Page 16: Rebecca Chan (RN), Woo CP (RN), Yvonne Chan (WM), Eva Yim (RN) & Dr Bernard Kong](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56814aee550346895db7fbcb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Instruments • Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used for assessing clients’ cognitive functioning with the cut-off point according to educational level (C
hiu, Lee, Chung, & Kwong, 1994a) :– 18 for Illiterate– 20 for 1 – 2 years of education– 22 for more than 2 years of education
• And, Geriatric Depression Scale short form (GDS-S) was employed to assess level of depression of clients. The optimal cutoff score of 8+ indicates the presence of depression (Lee, Chiu & Kwong, 1994)
![Page 17: Rebecca Chan (RN), Woo CP (RN), Yvonne Chan (WM), Eva Yim (RN) & Dr Bernard Kong](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56814aee550346895db7fbcb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Instruments• Also, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was employed to measure the present (A-state) and chronic anxiety levels (A-trait) of the carers (Shek,
1988):– Score 20 – 40: Mild anxiety– Score 41 – 60: Moderate anxiety– Score 61 – 80: Severe anxiety
• Besides, Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) was used for measuring the concept of life satisfaction level of clients and carers. LSS is five-item scale with scores ranging from 5 to 35 with higher scores indicating greater life satisfaction (Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffin, 1985)
![Page 18: Rebecca Chan (RN), Woo CP (RN), Yvonne Chan (WM), Eva Yim (RN) & Dr Bernard Kong](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56814aee550346895db7fbcb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Method• Descriptive statistics were used to
examine the baseline characteristics and profiles of the clients.
• Paired sample t-tests were used to measure the effectiveness of the project.
![Page 19: Rebecca Chan (RN), Woo CP (RN), Yvonne Chan (WM), Eva Yim (RN) & Dr Bernard Kong](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56814aee550346895db7fbcb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Results• 52 referrals were received • 36 clients were arranged for
multi-disciplinary assessment. • 25 clients were eligible for
therapeutic training. • 4 of discharged clients received
day respite services in YCK and others received telephone follow-up services upon discharge.
