Download or read book The Accuracy and Validity of a New Screening Tool for Delirium in Acquired Brain Injury written by Jacob Kean and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period of acute recovery following acquired brain injury has been referred to as post-traumatic amnesia despite the recognition that the scope of impairment extends far beyond memory. Conversely, delirium is a neuropsychiatric disorder with a broad constellation of symptoms, including cognitive, psychiatric and behavioral impairments, which may be precipitated by a wide range of etiologies. Recent understanding of acute recovery following acquired brain injury suggests that these cognitive and behavioral impairments may be managed more appropriately if they were considered instead as symptoms of delirium. The advantages of this conceptualization are clear: delirium is a condition which accounts for the breadth of the symptoms ignored by the concept of post-traumatic amnesia and for which there are clear treatment recommendations. To improve recognition of the condition in medical rehabilitation settings, a brief screening tool was developed. The tool was comprised of three items demonstrated to be commonly impaired in patients with delirium and which were hypothesized to reflect core features of the disorder. The screening tool was compared to diagnostic criteria for delirium and also to existing validated scales. The accuracy of the tool was assessed using receiver operating characteristic analysis, and the concurrent and construct validity of the tool was established by comparing the screening tool to validated tools in terms of severity, accuracy at existing cutoff scores, duration of delirious episode and alignment with theoretical constructs. Data analysis indicated that the proposed tool was demonstrated to be a highly accurate and valid screening instrument for delirium in a population of patients in an inpatient medical rehabilitation setting. Because the screening tool is efficient and objective relative to other measures available for delirium screening, it holds the potential to improve the recognition and subsequent treatment of the disorder.

Download or read book Clinical Neuropsychology of Intervention written by Barbara P. Uzzell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuropsychology has been concerned with brain-behavior relationships. Clinical neuropsychology has been concerned with application of relation ships to clinical problems. As interest in these topics continues, a spin-off from clinical neuropsychology has been the realization ofthe potential ofde lineations of behavioral consequences of cerebral lesions for developing and evaluating restoration and compensation objectives. Methods for these proce dures are scattered in books, journal articles, or else unwritten, and only in the minds of clinicians. Questions need to be addressed regarding the kinds ofassessment selections required; the types ofrehabilitation planning; the in fluences ofthe environment, communication, and personality; and the means of effectively evaluating rehabilitation procedures. A useful book is needed by clinicians working in this area. The purpose of this book is to consolidate, in one volume, current work able approaches ofa subdiscipline within neuropsychology and related areas which we are calling Intervention. Problems, dilemmas, solutions, and choices are presented to the reader beginning to work in this fascinating area, and to those of us already enthralled by previous developments and outcomes. Workers with expertise in assessment for intervention and interventiop strategies are chapter contributors who unravel issues, provide available em pirically based theory, illustrative data, and case reports. The volume begins with a chapter that emphasizes an awareness of the potential usefulness ofpathophysiology, and the recognition of spontaneous xv xvi recovery in relationship to intervention. Part II of the book is devoted to identifying and developing assessment techniques relevant for intervention.
