Article Synopsis
- People with dementia face significant challenges in daily activities, and the study aimed to explore how these individuals perceive their problems and what strategies they develop to cope with them.* -
- The research involved semi-structured interviews with 25 participants of varying cognitive statuses, revealing that those with mild dementia were more aware of their difficulties while those with severe dementia often didn't recognize their issues at all.* -
- Findings suggest that strategy development for managing daily life is more prevalent in individuals with mild dementia, highlighting the importance of teaching coping strategies early on to help maintain independence despite cognitive decline.*

Therefore, valid instruments are necessary to assess cognitive functioning in this population group. Our aim was to review existing articles that have examined and reported on the validity of cognitive assessment tools in Hispanic/Latino population groups in the United States.
