14 Dementia Survey in Greece people (lay people, healthcare professionals, policy makers, family members) Still a stigma surrounding the disease lack of knowledge and information No integrated Dementia services and facilities few existing Memory Clinics and Day Care Centers No allowances for patients and carers
15 Dementia in Greece Care patients ΕuroCoDe, ICAD,, 13/7/2009 Vienna 89% of patients cared for at home The majority receive care from family members spouses (50%) children (32%) Lack of government support (services and institutions) Dementia Survey, Greece 2006
16 Dementia in Greece Services 12 Memory Clinics 11 Day Care Centers run by AAs education and support for carers AAs provide : non pharmacological interventions for patients Day Care Centers research, seminars for specialists 2007: full reimbursement of anti dementia drugs Dementia Survey, Greece 2006
17 Dementia Survey in Greece 2006 Barriers to optimal intervention and care Despite being a public health issue, dementia is not a healthcare priority The mistaken belief still exists that little can be done regarding dementia An urgent need for principles and services to address the unmet needs of people with Dementia and their carers
18 Caregivers Survey participants Conclusions Caregivers of AD patients are mainly women, 45+ years old, of middle to upper education Most of them are first degree relatives, living with the patient and not paid for caregiving The key source of information regarding AD are Alzheimer s Associations Caregivers seem to be rather skeptical about AD treatment effectiveness There is an urgent need to recognize the significant practical and emotional burden of AD patients caregivers and support the development or respite services in Greece
19 Caregivers Survey 2008 Conclusions Caring for an AD patient has practical and emotional implications for the caregiver escalating as the disease progresses PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS EMOTIONAL IMPLICATIONS Caregivers feel responsible for the patient Requires a lot of time Defines caregivers daily schedule Has growing financial demands It is hard for them to see the patient in this condition and they miss the person the patient was before AD Nursing an AD patient has increasing negative psychological implications: sorrow, frustration, anger Intense anxiety for the disease course in the future
20 Greek Dementia Action Plan In 2009, as a result of public pressure a working group was set up under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Health, consisting of representatives from Alzheimer s Associations in Athens and Thessaloniki In June 2010, the working group published a report and put forward a draft action plan for discussion. The Greek Ministry of Health is planning to organize stakeholders events throughout Greece
21 The Greek Alzheimer s Initiative signatures 21/9/2010 On the occasion of the World Alzheimer s Day Alzheimer patients gave the petition to the Minister of Health and the Mayor of Athens so that a strategic plan could be created and implemented in Greece. National Action Plan for Dementia A coordinated effort on the part of AAs, Health Authorities and Medical Associations is needed to result in a better quality of life for patients and carers. 3 domains: Research Services and Institutions Ethics legislation Epidemiological research Economic Evaluation Public Consultation
