Uvod: Povečanje števila prebivalstva in podaljševanje življenjske dobe sta dejavnika, ki vplivata tudi na naraščanje števila oseb z demenco. Slednja največkrat prizadene starejše ljudi, čeprav ne spada v normalen proces staranja. Prvi znaki in simptomi bolezni se lahko pojavijo z zamikom nekaj let, zato je pomembno tako zgodnje odkrivanje kot tudi pravočasno zdravljenje demence. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti vlogo medicinske sestre pri preventivi in zgodnjem odkrivanju demence ter njeno vlogo pri izva-janju presejalnih testov in uporabi različnih ocenjevalnih orodij na področju obravnave oseb z demenco. Metode dela: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda dela s pregledom domače in tuje strokovne ter znanstvene literature. Literaturo smo iskali v bibliografskih podatkovnih bazah Cochrane Library, CINAHL, ScienceDirect in COBIB.SI. Pri iskanju ustrezne literature smo upoštevali vključitvene in izključitvene kriterije. Dodatno literaturo smo pridobili s pregledom referenc v pridobljenii literaturi. Rezultati: Ugotovljena je po-membnost vključenosti medicinske sestre v prepoznavanje dejavnikov tveganja za nastanek demence ter zdravstveno obravnavo osebe z demenco. Prav tako je ključnega pomena sodelovanje medicinske sestre pri uporabi diagnostičnih orodij za odkrivanje demence, z drugimi strokovnjaki ter pri promociji zdravja v skupnosti. Razprava in zaključek: Medi-cinska sestra je pri obravnavi osebe z demenco pozorna na vse izražene potrebe in težave, ki jih oseba navaja, ter morebitne prisotne dejavnike tveganja. Svoje ugotovitve mora vključiti v negovalni načrt ter na podlagi teh ustavariti intervencije za reševanje negovalnih problemov. Pri svojem delu uporablja različne komunikacijske pristope, ki ji pomagajo pri lažjem razumevanju in vzpostavitvi zaupnega odnosa z osebo z demenco. V okviru svojega dela se medicinska sestra vključuje tudi v ocenjevanje in diagnostiko demence. Pri promo-ciji zdravja svetuje, uči in ozavešča o zdravem življenjskem slogu ter nudi pomoč pri uva-janju sprememb v vsakdanjik.
