For Immediate Release 28th February, 2012
ADCarer.com website launch
Survey identified substantial demand for E-learning resources for
caregivers of demented person
As the population ages, an increasing number of people will suffer from dementia, and the number of dementia caregivers will have to increase as well. When dementia advances, caregivers will need to tackle various changes and difficulties when looking after patients. For many families, essential issues that arise during the caregiving process include finding ways to ease the heavy pressure of taking care of somebody with dementia, continuing to look after the person for years, dealing with caregiving concerns for other senior family members and relatives, and keeping harmony in the family.
To help families develop caregiving skills and ease their pressure, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing (JCCPA) have developed an online training program “ADcarer.com”, for family caregivers of people with cognitive loss to obtain suitable and practical aid. Against this background, the CUHK organised the “Walk with Professor Kao” CUHK Walkathon on 14th March, 2010 to raise fund. The CUHK Knowledge Transfer Unit Project Fund has also sponsored professional teams to provide other forms of aid to family caregivers.
The website consists of three parts: 1) Caregiving Skills Program, 2) Caregiving Made Easy Program and 3) Intensive Support Program. The programs cover both the traditional disease model and the health model, gaining a lot of attention for the way they combine positive psychology, neuroscience psychology, cognitive behavior theory, rational emotive behavior therapy, the Satir Model, grief counselling, personality typology and coaching skills. With a focus on both theory and practice, the approach encompasses how to handle and prevent problems, thereby helping caregivers face and tackle difficulties and pressure, as well as indirectly enhancing the living quality of patients and building up a harmonious relationship between patients and caregivers. This will start a new page for caregivers of dementia patients in Hong Kong. For more information about the website, please find in Appendix A.
A launch ceremony for the website was held today at the Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing, Shatin. The Honorary Guest Mrs. Gwen May-wan, the wife of Professor Charles Kao, Professor Timothy Kwok Chi-yui, Faculty of Medicine, CUHK and Director of JCCPA, and Ms. Florence Ho Kwai-ying, General Manager of JCCPA officiated at the ceremony.
Results of a survey on family caregivers’ preferences on online dementia-related education (Dementia e-learning) program were also announced in the event. Nearly 90% of the respondents reported to experience caregiving stress after talking up the caring responsibility concerning their demented family member. Around 80% of the respondents show interest in taking part in dementia E-learning program. This indicates there is a great demand to develop E-learning platform for the general public to acquire dementia-related information, particularly the caregivers of demented persons. Full details of the findings can be found in Appendix B.
Renowned actors and actresses showed their support and participated in the making of the educational videos.
Mr. Kenny HO Ka-ging said, “Dementia sufferers are not only limited to the elderly. Indeed, young people also have the chance in suffering from such illness. The JCCPA has spared no effort in promoting the professional dementia-related knowledge and the skills of helping dementia sufferer. It is obvious that not only sufferers and caregivers can be benefited, but also the general public.”
Mr. WOO Fung said, “Whenever we talk about dementia, most people seem to have fully understood about it. However, when it comes to the time they need to take care of their demented relative, they often feel helpless and not really know how to handle. This series of eductational videos aim to enhance the caregivers’ knowledge of dementia, and thus to retard the disease progression. I think it is very meaningful.”
Ms. Eva LAI Yin-shan shared, “The general public tends to hold positive and enlightened attitude towards dementia nowadays. I am pleased to see that JCCPA has built up a platform for the caregivers to gather useful information. As long as the caregivers stay considerated and try to think in the sufferers’ way, I believe they can take good care of demented persons. As an ex-caregiver, I understand the caregivers’ needs for local supporting services. The JCCPA offers one-stop services for caregivers, in order to relieve their anxiety which definitely deserves our support. It would be great if the government can spend more resources for developing this kind of services.”

About Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing
The JCCPA is dedicated to improving care for people with dementia in Hong Kong. In order to delay the decline in cognitive ability and encourage the sufferers to maintain normal social activities, various services including day care service, respite service, home-based training, and memory clinic are provided since 2000. Moreover, caregiver support is available for relieving different kinds of stress among family members of the sufferers.
About Dementia
Dementia is an illness that entails the loss of cognitive ability. In dementia, the earliest and most prominent feature is usually memory loss, resulting in forgetfulness. Other symptoms include difficulties with language, getting lost, disorientation, inability to cope with daily activities and physical care, mood changes and behavioural problems. There are now at least seventy thousands of people suffering from dementia in Hong Kong. Rates of dementia increase with ageing. Although patients with this disease are mostly elderly, people under 65-year-old may also suffer from dementia. With the ageing of the population, it is not surprising that more people will suffer from dementia in Hong Kong.
