RESUMEN
La atención integral a los adultos mayores con demencia constituye un reto importante para las dependencias de salud gubernamental encargadas de proponer políticas públicas. En México, se plantea una iniciativa para afrontar la enfermedad y dar un seguimiento a los pacientes que la padecen. Consecuentemente, el propósito de esta comunicación es informar acerca del beneficio de la estimulación cognitiva como una estrategia preventiva, económica y efectiva para el abordaje psicogerontológico de los pacientes con demencia en la atención primaria de salud. Se propone desde una perspectiva integral y centrada en la persona e involucrar las necesidades biopsicosociales del usuario. La estimulación cognitiva mejorará la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores con demencia y propiciara el afrontamiento individual y familiar ante la enfermedad(AU)
ABSTRACT
Comprehensive care for the elderly with dementia constitutes a major challenge for government health agencies responsible for proposing public policies. In Mexico, an initiative is proposed to confront the disease and to follow up the patients who suffer it. Consequently, the purpose of this communication is to inform about the benefit of cognitive stimulation as a preventive, economic and effective strategy for the psychogerontological approach to patients with dementia in the primary health care. It is proposed from a comprehensive perspective, centered on the person, involving the biopsychosocial needs of the user. It is expected that cognitive stimulation would improve the life quality of the elderly with dementia and will encourage individual and family coping with the disease(AU)
