- W1994123670 abstract "The population of Ghana is gradually aging and the proportion of older people has doubled every ten years. By 2050 the aged population in Ghana will triple. In terms that age is the biggest risk factor for dementia, the prevalence of this disease is also rising. Until now, scientific research about this topic does not exist. The aim of this explorative study was to identify the health care challenges and needs of older people with and without dementia in Ghana to prepare first scientific data and hypotheses for future studies. The study applied a quantitative and qualitative research design with explorative, descriptive and contextual research approach. Guided interviews were conducted with five Ghanaian experts and one expert from Germany and 171 questionnaires were handed out to Ghanaian nursing students. The transcribed interviews were examined using manifest and latent content analyses. Data analysis of the questionnaires was performed using descriptive methods. The results revealed that people in Ghana grow increasingly older and develop dementia. Furthermore, 46% of the survey respondents already met people who were in need for permanent care and support, most of them (71 %) with dementia. But so far there aren't any aged care facilities and skilled experts in geriatrics are in short supply as well as nobody diagnoses or screens for dementia. Besides that, the public does not even know much about the disease. People in Ghana still accuse and condemn demented people to witchcraft which consequently have to live in witch-camps or are beaten and killed. In Ghana the rapid ageing population and the increase of age-related diseases like dementia is already a burden for the country. Missing specialists and aged care facilities are a big deficit for a functioning and sufficient health care system. Moreover, lacking knowledge about the ageing process and dementia requires better education and a raising awareness that dementia is a frequent illness in older age. Ghana has to put these issues on national agendas and further research is mandatory." @default.
