Effect of preceding home ‐visit nursing on time to discharge in hospitalization for the treatment of behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia among patients with limited familial care
ConclusionHome‐visit nursing before admission of BPSD patients for treatment could improve the rate of discharge to home among patients with limited familial care after subsequent hospitalization. Home‐visit nursing could also enhance collaborative relationships between social and hospital‐based care systems, and early implementation could improve the likelihood of vulnerable patient types remaining in their own homes for as long as possible.

Information processing speed as a mediator between psychosocial stress and global cognition in older adults
ConclusionsPsychosocial stress may increase the likelihood that older adults will experience poor processing capacity, which could reduce their higher level cognition. Results indicate that there is a need to develop processing capacity intervention programmes for psychologically distressed older adults to prevent them from suffering cognitive decline.

Feasibility of applying the psychosocial intervention STrAtegies for RelaTives to family caregivers of patients with dementia: a case report
As the number of people with dementia in Japan continues to rise, family caregivers are experiencing an increasing care burden. Previous research has shown that this care burden can affect family caregivers’ physical and mental health. Therefore, providing support for caregivers of family members with dementia has become an urgent issue in the country. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of applying STrAtegies for RelaTives (START), a psychosocial intervention programme developed in the UK to improve caregivers’ moods and quality of life, to Japanese family caregivers. Specifically, in this pap...

Advantages of different care services for reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia patients
ConclusionsCare specialists reported that effective care services for reducing BPSD differed among types of BPSD. In‐home care services might be effective at reducing many BPSD except for aberrant motor behaviour, suggesting that greater use of in‐home care services might enable people with BPSD to live in their homes for longer.

Survival times with and without tube feeding in patients with dementia or psychiatric diseases in Japan
ConclusionPatients with tube feeding survived longer than those without tube feeding, even among dementia patients. This study suggests that enteral nutrition for patients with dementia prolongs survival. Additionally, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube feeding may be safer than nasogastric tube feeding among patients in psychiatric hospitals. (Source: Psychogeriatrics)
