Navigating the new normal: accessing community and institutionalised care for dementia during COVID-19

Clarissa Giebel et al.

Summary: This study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, many care services have not effectively adapted to provide remote support, leading to difficulties in access and severe physical and cognitive deterioration for people living with dementia and their carers. While remote support can be helpful, it cannot replace the benefits of face-to-face support.

A qualitative 5-country comparison of the perceived impacts of COVID-19 on people living with dementia and unpaid carers

Clarissa Giebel et al.

Summary: This international study found that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an indirect impact on people living with dementia and informal carers in five countries. The pandemic has limited access to support services, hindered remote support, and led to declines in cognitive and physical health among those with dementia. The study highlights the need for better access to support services for people affected by dementia.

Living with dementia in supported housing: A systematic review and thematic synthesis of qualitative research

Michael Smith et al.

Summary: Supported housing can potentially facilitate independent living for people with dementia through integrating housing with support or care services. However, challenges such as low staff ratios, stigma, and limited access to the community can lead to a loss of independence and autonomy. More high-quality research is needed to understand if supported housing can delay care home admission, promote independence and autonomy, and facilitate social networks and community connections for this population.

Conceptual and Design Thinking for Thematic Analysis

Virginia Braun et al.

Summary: This study discusses the application of thematic analysis (TA) in psychology and the need for researchers to choose different methods within TA that may vary in conceptualization and design considerations. The lack of understanding and acknowledgment of this diversity often results in research lacking coherence. The authors provide guidance on conceptual and design thinking for TA, particularly for their own reflexive approach, to support researchers in conducting methodologically sound TA research.

Enriching Everyday Lived Experiences in Dementia Care

Maarten Houben et al.

Summary: Research in HCI is exploring how technology can enhance social participation and pleasurable experiences for people with dementia. The deployment of VITA and SAM in daily dementia care provides aesthetic and sensory enrichment, creating new experiences and integrating into the care environment. These findings contribute to existing research by showcasing the potential for technology to create warm and meaningful everyday experiences in dementia care.

Loneliness in older people and COVID-19: Applying the social identity approach to digital intervention design

Avelie Stuart et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased loneliness among older people, and digital technology is seen as a potential solution. However, current digital tools do not meet the needs of older adults in times of limited social interaction. We propose using the Social Identity Model of Identity Change as a foundation for digital interventions to address loneliness.

Influences of service characteristics and older people's attributes on outcomes from direct payments

Vanessa Davey

Summary: This study analyzed data obtained during an early evaluation of DPs that took place between 2005 and 2007. The results showed that DPs contributed significantly to outcomes in areas such as social participation, daily living control, and safety, with high levels of user satisfaction. The study also found that the benefit of DPs was influenced by unpaid care, the ability to combine funded and self-funded care, and purchasing non-standardized care services.

Partnering with older people as peer researchers

Jean Daly Lynn et al.

Summary: The term peer researcher refers to individuals who share similar characteristics with the research participants and can relate to them. This study focused on older people as peer researchers exploring the lived experiences of individuals with dementia in technology-enriched housing. Through training and practical experience, peer researchers developed skills, received recognition, and established connections, providing supplemental information for data collection.

Carers' experiences of assistive technology use in dementia care: a cross sectional survey

Vimal Sriram et al.

Summary: The study found that carers generally perceived assistive technology as beneficial, often using multiple devices and recommending them to others. Establishing centrally funded information sources and a loan store for assistive technology to support carers is recommended. Further research on the incremental addition of assistive technology and its impact on formal/paid care is needed.

Alessandro Pappada et al.

Summary: The study found that technology can help both dementia patients and caregivers overcome physical and environmental issues, bringing benefits to mental health, skills learning, and social aspects. However, it also revealed the lack of a common methodological background, highlighting the need for further standardized research to improve the implementation of technology while maintaining personalization.
