Study Overview

This study looks at the healthcare needs of people living with dementia (PlwD), especially those with Alzheimer’s disease. Many needs are not being met, and we aim to understand the factors that influence these unmet needs to create better support systems.

Methodology

We analyzed data from a multi-centre clinical trial called InDePendent. We used surveys conducted through face-to-face interviews to gather information about the patients’ backgrounds and health conditions.

Key Findings

  • Out of 417 participants, most had mild to moderate cognitive impairment.
  • On average, participants had 10.8 different health diagnoses and were taking 6.7 medications.
  • About 62% of participants reported having at least one unmet healthcare need, averaging 2.4 unmet needs each.
  • Factors like low social support, high body mass index, lower education, functional impairments, and poor health increased unmet needs.
  • Women faced more unmet needs due to factors like depressive symptoms and living alone, while men’s unmet needs increased with the number of medications they took.

Conclusion

This research shows that people living with dementia have many unmet healthcare needs. It highlights the importance of assessing patients’ needs early and tailoring interventions based on individual characteristics, including gender.
