Five ways to interact with people with dementia 認知症の方への接し方５か条
This is Informatin of Energetic Life. This time, we will be sharing with you "Five rules for interacting with people with dementia."
Tip 1. Build trust. - Trying to understand the other person is the first step to building trust. - Even if you can't understand their words or actions, there is a reason for them. - Start with a casual greeting like "Good morning" and get to know the other person through casual everyday conversation. * Be careful not to ask too many details about the other person in an effort to build trust quickly.
Tip 2. Treat people in a way that doesn't hurt their self-esteem. - Smile and meet the other person's eye level. - Be mindful of your choice of language and don't treat them like a child. Value the basics of human relationships.
Tip 3. Speak in a calm and clear tone.
- Speaking loudly will make the other person intimidated, and speaking quickly may not convey what you're saying properly.
Try to speak slowly and clearly* in a calm manner so that the other person can easily understand.
- When speaking to someone, make sure you are in their field of vision before speaking to them so as not to startle them.
(Calling from behind will startle them. *Please note that "clearly" is not necessarily a harsh expression.
Tip 4. Communicate simply
- Due to a decline in comprehension and judgment, the amount of information that can be processed at one time is reduced. - Instead of conveying multiple messages at once, communicate simply while checking the other person's reaction.
Tip 5: Go with the other person's pace - They tend to act slowly. - Try to support them subtly by watching over them and talking to them from time to time, while respecting what they can do and what they want to try.
Pamphlets on dementia are available at the Nursing Care and Elderly Division, so please ask if you would like one.

こんにちは！いきいき元気メールです。今回は「認知症の方への接し方５か条」についてお知らせします。
その１．信頼関係を築きましょう
・相手のことを理解しようとすることが信頼関係の第一歩です。
・理解できない言動でも、本人にとっては何らかの理由があります。
・普段の何気ない「おはよう」などのあいさつから始めて、他愛のない日常会話から相手のことを知っていきましょう。
※早く信頼関係を築きたいあまり、相手のことを根ほり葉ほり聞かないよう注意しましょう。
その２．自尊心を傷つけない態度で接すること
・相手の目線に合わせて笑顔で接しましょう。
・子ども扱いしないなど、言葉遣いにも気を配りましょう。人付き合いの基本を大切に。
その３．穏やかでハッキリした口調で話すこと
・大声は相手の方が萎縮しますし、早口では話の内容が十分に伝わらないことがあります。落ち着いた雰囲気でゆっくりハッキリ※と相手に分かりやすいように話すよう、こころがけましょう。
・話しかける時は、驚かさないように相手の視野に入ってから声をかけましょう。（背後からの声かけはビックリさせてしまいます。）
※「ハッキリ」とは決してキツイ言い方ではありませんので気をつけましょう。
その４． シンプルに伝えること
・理解力や判断力の低下のため、一度に処理できる情報量が少なくなります。
・一度にいくつも伝えるのではなく、相手の様子を伺いながらシンプルに伝えましょう。
その５．相手のペースに合わせること
・行動がゆっくりになる傾向があります。
・時には見守ったり、声をかけたり、「本人のできること」や「やってみたいこと」を尊重しつつ、さりげなくサポートしてみましょう。
