Care for people with dementia
認知症の人へのケア
Learn how to speak to and behave with people with dementia so they can feel safe.
Key points
There are 3 important things: do not surprise the person, do not hurry the person, and do not hurt the person's self-respect (the feeling that they themselves are important).
大事なことは3つです。驚かせない、急がせない、自尊心（自分を大切に思う気持ち）を傷つけない、です。
When you speak to the person, go to a place where they can see you. Bring your eyes to the same height as theirs. Do not speak suddenly from behind.
声をかけるときは、相手から見える所に行きます。目の高さを合わせます。後ろから急に声をかけません。
Speak slowly, briefly, and clearly. Do not ask several things at one time. Do not talk in the way you would talk to a child.
ゆっくり、短く、はっきり話します。一度にいくつも聞きません。子どもに話すような言い方はしません。
If you scold the person in a loud voice, they become more anxious. Their behavior may be connected to how their body feels or to the surroundings. First, listen slowly to what they say.
大きな声でしかると、相手はもっと不安になります。行動には、体の調子やまわりの環境が関係することがあります。まず、話をゆっくり聞きます。
If you notice that the person is different from usual, tell your supervisor or a nurse. It may be because they are physically unwell. Do not decide alone.
いつもとちがう様子に気づいたら、上司や看護師に伝えます。体の具合が悪いためかもしれません。一人で決めません。
