Definition
Forgetfulness has been discussed in this paper generally, as
well as in relation to causative underlying factors. In
analysing the attributes specifically applicable to older adults,
the following definition was identified.
As people age, there is a slightly increased incidence of
episodic prospective memory loss, slower processing time and
delayed recall. This type of forgetfulness has been shown to
increase steadily with advancing years, but can be offset
somewhat by limiting the demands on working memory and
allowing older adults to rehearse or focus an item of recall.
Although some increase in non-pathological forgetfulness
is considered normal, nurses should be observant for
forgetfulness patterns (as opposed to isolated episodes) that
may require screening for cerebro-vascular disease, dementia,
depression, delirium, vitamin B deficiency and/or thyroid
dysfunction.
Model cases
Knafl and Deatrick (2000) refer to the model case using
Rodgers evolutionary framework as furthering the definition
of the concept. For the present analysis, two model cases have
been chosen from real practice and represent forgetfulness in
a healthy ageing scenario and one in which pathology is
involved. The cases are not meant to contrast with each
other, a technique used in the Walker and Avant method of
conceptualizing model cases (Avant 2000). Rather, they are
intended to demonstrate the complex nature of forgetfulness
in older adults and offer depictions of real life examples in
which nurses play a central role in developing person-centred
outcomes.
Forgetfulness with no deficits on testing
Mrs. A is a 76-year-old woman. She has lived alone since
the death of her husband 20 years ago. She maintains a
routine that includes an exercise class once a week,
attending church every Sunday and occasional visits to
friends’ homes. She always manages her own finances. She is
moderately hearing-impaired and wears a hearing aid in
each ear.
