The Presence of Memory-Enriched Environments for Cognitively Impaired Nursing Home Residents

Abstract

Enriched living environments that contain a wide array of personal memorabilia and memory-stimulating cues have the potential to support cognitive functioning. The purpose of this ethnographic research was to describe the care environments of older adults with cognitive impairment living in nursing homes (n?=?42), to evaluate the degree to which these environments contained memory-stimulating cues, and to understand the extent to which these environments were cognitively stimulating for older adults with dementia. Results indicated varying levels of enrichment both within and between homes, with nearly a quarter of the residents living in environments that contained no memory-enhancing stimuli.     

经典作家社会主义民主建设的理论及其当代发展

马克思、恩格斯就无产阶级民主的产生和消亡留下了理论遗产。列宁提出由党实现无产阶级专政和无产阶级民主、加强国家机构的管理能力、反对官僚主义等,体现了无产阶级在实践过程中对民主问题的初步的认识。在当代中国,中国共产党提出建设有中国特色的社会主义民主政治,以民主政治建设来保障构建社会主义和谐社会任务的顺利进行,建设社会主义法治国家等等,丰富和发展了经典作家的理论。
