9 benefi Conclusion: Some Caregivers Intevention can reduce CG psychological soffering and help people with dementia stay at home longer. Programs that involve the people and their families and are intensive and modified to CGs needs are more successful. This first study found improvement in the outcomes measures in cognitive tests and that cognitive improvement are associated with benefits to quality of life

10 Treatment for people with mild to moderate dementia The effects of CST appear to be of a comparable size to those reported with the currently available anti-dementia drugs (Luijpen MW et al. 2003)

11 The ASDAM s protocol Cognitive stimulation therapy Theory background: CST (Spector, 2003) Scientific collaboration: Prof. R. Chattat and his staff (Bologna s University) Financial Support: Public Health Organization and Mirandola s Bank Foundation Collaboration with Psychogeriatric Teem: interested people recruitment

20 Discussion: The results don t show any chainging of measured cognitive parameters (cognitive and psichosocial functioning) The obtained results show that the psichosocial interventions seems efficacy to slow down the progression of the disease. This intervention is an important opportunity for people that can t receive the pharmacological therapy.

22 Conclusions: The recent UK guidelines on dementia raccommend that all people with mild-moderate dementia should be given the opportunity to partecipate in structured group Cognitive Stimulation Program. NICE-SCIE guide of dementia management (2006)

23 Prospective Future

24 Prospective Activities Produce more scientific articles about Nonpharmacological Intervention. Future researches: Study of combined Psychosocial treatments.
