چکیده
Méthodes: Dans un premier temps, une revue des considérations épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques sera partagée. Les principes de l’approche thérapeutique multidimensionnelle individualisée centrée sur la personne seront abordés. La deuxième présentation s’intéresse, en particulier, à un modèle d’éducation des professionnels et personnes soignantes impliquées auprès des personnes atteintes de démence. L’utilisation de capsules de formation spécifiques (e-Learning) sur les différents types de SCPD, leurs caractéristiques cliniques, leur prise en charge et leur traitement sera abordé. Les principes de mentorat pour la gestion de ces problématiques par téléconsultation seront présentés et discutés. La troisième partie du symposium concerne l’intérêt et l’utilité des unités de soins spécialisées pour l’évaluation et la prise en charge des SCPD graves et persistants qui sont difficiles à stabiliser dans le milieu de vie de la personne atteinte de démence.
