Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dementia is a syndrome characterized by a deterioration in cognitive function beyond what is expected from normal ageing. More than 55 million people are living with dementia globally, with approximately 10 million new cases every year. Dementia has created physical and psychosocial impacts on the individuals, but also their families and caregivers. Much can be done to support and enhance their lives. This Special Issue calls for high-quality, multi-disciplinary research papers which aim to present innovative interventions to address the issues associated with dementia. We anticipate that the collection of articles will inform practitioners and administrators of the latest evidence and will facilitate the translation of the evidence into practice. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: telehealth intervention during pandemic; virtual and augmented reality intervention; intervention for enhancing caregivers’ empathy; empowerment intervention for people with young-onset dementia; multi-sensory intervention using technology; simulated presence therapy; dyadic psychosocial intervention; mindfulness-based intervention for people with dementia; serious gaming; and art-based intervention.
