失智症患者走失問題相信令各位家屬不禁擔心,尤以社區中生活的長者更容易發生迷路情況。耆智園曾在2007年為本土進行「痴呆症患者在社區走失之狀況」電話訪問,並有下列的發現:

*超過兩成(22.7%)被訪家屬表示長者曾有過社區走失的經驗,在有走失經驗的長者,當中逾四成(42.9%)長者試過走失兩次或以上。單計已確認患有老年痴呆症的長者,其走失率超過三成(30.6%)。

*發現長者主要於日間時段(上午6:00-中午12:00有33.8%; 下午2:00-下午6:00有40%)走失

*走失事件發生以後,超過四成(40.5%)家人表示高度擔心長者再次走失,而情緒亦因為擔心而受到顯著的困擾

由此可見,長者走失的情況實在不容忽視。本園因此正進行「痴呆症患者走失對患者及其家人影響之研究計劃」,希望能了解更多有關痴呆症患者走失的情況,如有興趣協助我們收集資料,請致電2636 0122與梁姑娘聯絡,你所提供的資料將只用作研究用途,所有個人資料將絕對保密。

至於走失的問題,以下乃個人意見:
1.如患者走失時要冷靜,根據他/她可能出現的地方沿途尋找。平日可定些外出固定路線及日程時間,加強尋回家人機會。同時可以安排家在家等消息及作聯絡人,患者有機會自行回家或由警方通知家人。

2.安裝一些隱蔽或複雜的門鎖或者在較高或隱蔽位置另加裝橫鎖,減低走失機會。

3.在家中的大門安裝一些會發出聲響的東西,如防盜器,當門被打開時,這些裝置會發出聲響而引起你注意,及時支援 。

4.在長者的衣服上縫上聯絡電話及長者名字,及給他戴上有聯絡資料的手鐲或名牌。

5.可能的話告知大廈保安員或一些友好鄰居,如認得長者獨自外出,可幫忙帶領長者回家。

6.可記下患者所穿的衣服特色,因此平日毋須太多衣服選擇,並為患者拍下一些半身及全身生活近照,方便尋找。
