Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Caregiving and grief in dementia

Comments
I was doing some initial research on a topic I've been thinking about and thought this might document might be of use as its to do with caring for Alzheimer's patients. | Motivation to Care If you want the whole article I can email it to you Kari2515 (discuss • contribs) 01:30, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if this will be useful to an academic piece but maybe as a side note or external link thing, either way it provides help sheets with practical advice for families and caregivers | Fight Dementia- Help Sheets

Heading casing
Note that Wikiversity convention is for lower-case headings. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:28, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

I was looking at your sub headings and I saw that you had a section on support, it doesn't say just yet what or how much information you are going to have in it however as the idea of the chapter is how to use the topic we have to "improve our life" I was thinking you could add a suggestions heading? By this I mean suggest ways or techniques a person could use as a caregiver or the individual with dementia in coping with dementia and/or coping with the grief. I don't know too much on the topic, and you may have already had this idea planned, but I just wanted to put the idea out there :-)U3052304 (discuss • contribs) 05:28, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Ideas
Hi, nice work on getting started :) Somebody else is doing AAT - Animal Assisted Therapy, think it might be a useful inclusion somewhere for you. https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2013/Animal_assisted_therapy_and_emotional_health_and_well-being Also you might enjoy the series Derek, it's a comedy-drama set in a nursing home, could give you some ideas or even just some screenshots to attach to your page for readers. Hope this helps! Best of luck! PatrickBateman (discuss • contribs) 03:37, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Might be able to infer
Hi Caitlin,

I know you were having a hard time trying to find direct literature about healthcare workers and the impact of dementia. I came across this article yesterday, and whilst its not directly related, i did feel it was still broad enough that you could probably infer or relate back to it. hope this helps

Feedback
Hi,

Reading through your chapter I find it very interesting. I have fixed some minor grammatical mistakes and sentences that didn't make sense. You say that dementia cannot be prevented in your What is dementia section, but that is what my chapter is all about and I have found that it can be prevented. I know its a bit late to be sending this kind of info now, sorry but I thought that might be a useful point to make, you could even link to my chapter, and others that have followed similar lines.
