We provide new Chinese word for Dementia[1]

من نص المقالة[عدل]

A London-based community project supported by CNWL has devised a new name for Dementia to help diminish stigma around the disease and encourage early diagnosis.

‘Tui-zhi-zheng’ means decreasing or decline, the ability to think or remember things and disease or syndrome. The traditional Chinese word for the condition, ‘Chīdāi’, means crazy and chaotic.

The Chinese National Healthy Living Centre Dementia Peer Support and Information Project helped by CNWL services concentrates on Chinese communities as the disease is stigmatized in the community, hindering people from seeking help and advice. Members of the community are also suspicious of mainstream health services and there may be a language barrier.

A London-based community project run by the Chinese National Healthy Living Centre and supported by CNWL has devised a new name for Dementia to help diminish stigma around the disease and encourage early diagnosis. ‘Tui-zhi-zheng’ means decreasing or decline, the ability to think or remember things and disease or syndrome. The traditional Chinese word for the condition, ‘Chīdāi’, means crazy and chaotic.

Aside from obstacles created by language difficulties and cultural differences, the stigma around dementia in British Chinese communities can be a barrier to people receiving diagnosis and treatment. The project provides structured peer support to family carers and information translated into Cantonese and Mandarin. It also hosts a regular cafe in Woolwich called the ‘Reminiscence Tea House; with information sessions and activities.[3]
