Astrid Stephan,Anja Bieber,Louise Hopper,Rachael Joyce,Kate Irving,Orazio Zanetti,Elisa Portolani,Liselot Kerpershoek,Frans R.J. Verhey,Marjolein E. de Vugt,Claire A. G. Wolfs,Siren Eriksen,Janne Røsvik,Maria J. Marques,Manuel Gonçalves-Pereira,Britt-Marie Sjölund,Hannah Jelley,Bob Woods,Gabriele Meyer +18 more
TL;DR: Further investigations are needed to elaborate how the concept of a key contact person could be integrated with existing case management approaches and how the independence and autonomy of people with dementia can be strengthened when formal care needs to be accessed and used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of the EQ-5D and the EQ-5D+C in elderly patients with cognitive impairments.
Claire A. G. Wolfs,Carmen D. Dirksen,Alfons G.H. Kessels,Daniëlle C M Willems,Frans R.J. Verhey,Johan L. Severens +5 more
TL;DR: The EQ-5D performs well for evaluating HRQoL in a population with cognitive impairments and it does not seem necessary to adjust the current classification system by adding a cognitive dimension, according to the results of this explorative study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Qualitative study on needs and wishes of early-stage dementia caregivers: the paradox between needing and accepting help.
Lizzy M. M. Boots,Claire A. G. Wolfs,Frans R.J. Verhey,Gertrudis I. J. M. Kempen,Marjolein E. de Vugt +4 more
TL;DR: Early therapeutic interventions could help caregivers identify their needs, increase knowledge about changes in roles and relationship reciprocity, and focus on enhancement of the positive, intact experiences to prevent caregiver burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of dementia follow-up care by memory clinics or general practitioners: randomised controlled trial
E.J. Meeuwsen,René J. F. Melis,G.C.H.M. Van der Aa,G.A. Goluke-Willemse,B.J.M. De Leest,F.H.J.M. van Raak,Carla J M Schölzel-Dorenbos,Desiree Verheijen,Frans R.J. Verhey,Marieke C. Visser,Claire A. G. Wolfs,Eddy M. M. Adang,M.G.M. Olde Rikkert +12 more
TL;DR: No evidence was found that memory clinics were more effective than general practitioners with regard to post-diagnosis treatment and coordination care for patients with dementia.
