SOUKUPOVÁ, Iveta
A population aging and extending life is more and more current topic in medicine and other spheres. This topic is associated with dementia, which concerns a significant part of seniors and in retirement house we meet people with dementia more often. Becuase of this, we should try some new ways to care about seniors with dementia like sensory activation. This bachelor thesis deals with two aims - What nurses think about this method and if this method is suitable for elders. We determined two research questions based on these aims: 'What nurses think about using sensory activation method?' and 'How sensory activation helps to seniors?' We chose quality research with the form semi-structured interview to get results. According to results, we can say the sensory activation is very useful. It helps with physical and mental health and it slows down progression of dementia disease. All of these is beneficial not only for the senior but also for the nursing staff. Nurses in retirement house really like this method. They were satisfied not only at workshop of sensory activation where they got much more information about this method, but they learned also how to use it in practice. Now they can observe the results in clients in retirements house too. The results of this bachelor thesis can be used for the better know-how of sensory activation for nurses and other non-medical workers in retirement house. It can be use like educational material for students of nursing school or other medical schools.
