AB Much of the focus on AIDS dementia has concentrated on epidemiological,
diagnostic and treatment issues. Another important dimension is the
educational needs of carers. Carers often experience a range of
difficulties when caring for the person with AIDS dementia. These
difficulties may be exacerbated by: disparate and at times contradictory
research findings; a variety of definitions of dementia used by
different professionals; confusion between dementia and cognitive
change; confusion between dementia and other psychiatric illnesses;
negative attitudes toward people with dementing illnesses; lack of
access to information regarding the management of behavioural
difficulties; lack of specialised support services (both at a community
and institutional level); complexity of emotional issues, e.g.
over-identification, role changes, grief. In response to this need, the
nursing division of Fairfield Hospital, with the support of the
Victorian Health Department, has developed an education program for
carers of people with AIDS dementia.
