失智老妇失踪两日 幸得好心人协助寻获

后港一带发生失智症老妇失踪,两日后,所幸在好心人的协助下,于昨日(15日)被寻获。 据警方发出的文告,84岁老妇Ho Ng Lui于周日(13日)早上10点半左右失踪,最终位置位于后港32街376B座组屋。随后,网友也在脸书上呼吁公众协寻,并描述老妇的特征:仅说广东话,身上没有携带任何证件。 老妇最终被寻获,其家属后来接受《8视界》采访称,老妇在失踪后跌倒,被一名好心人士发现立即联系医院,最后将老妇送入盛港综合医院,而家人亦接到医院来电赶去,目前情况良好。 失智症到底是什么? 失智症是一种慢性或进行性综合症,通常是认知功能(即处理思想的能力)出现比正常年老过程更严重的衰退。它会影响记忆、思考、定向、理解、计算、学习、语言和判断能力,但不会影响意识。那它究竟在我国是否成为普遍现象? 根据心理健康学院(IMH)的调查指出,10个年过60岁的人,可能就有一个患失智症,而且2018年间预计已高达8万2000人患有失智症,而且其数字可能还会每年随之增长。 失智症患者不仅仅是记性不好如此简单,亦可能会使患者开始出现记忆力减退、判断及抽象思考以及其他脑高度机能均呈失常,甚至于行为及性格亦有变化。 其中,失智症最普遍的现象为阿兹海默症,俗称老人痴呆症,其病因不得而知,而且并无任何已知的治疗方法能够治愈。在无法治愈的情况下,可想而知患有失智症的患者一直都生活在绝望和无助中。 新加坡管理大学与新加坡阿兹海默症协会曾协同进行相关失智症研究。研究发现,四名失智症患者中,有高达三名的患者感到排斥与孤独。此外,研究亦发现,每两名失智症患者中,就有一名无法像其他人坦白自己的病情,而且近六成的失智症患者认为因为病情关系,他们被视为缺乏竞争力。 患者经常面临无助与孤独…
