What are the factors associated with people with advanced dementia refusing assistance with personal care?

Tamara Backhouse et al.

Summary: This study investigated the factors associated with refusals of care in advanced dementia. Higher independence in activities of daily living was associated with less refusal behaviors, while higher agitation was associated with more refusal behaviors. No other statistically significant differences were found. The results suggest that current dementia training has no impact on refusals of care and improving independence in activities of daily living and reducing agitations may help prevent refusals of care.

Involuntary treatment in dementia care at home: Results from the Netherlands and Belgium

Angela M. H. J. Mengelers et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the demand, use, and associated factors of involuntary treatment in people with dementia (PwD) receiving professional home care in the Netherlands and Belgium. The findings revealed that more than half of the PwD living at home received involuntary treatment, including nonconsensual care, psychotropic medication, and physical restraints. The use of involuntary treatment was influenced by living status, ADL dependency, cognitive ability, caregiver burden, and the country where home care was received. The study highlights the need for further research on variations in prevalence and the prevention of involuntary treatment in dementia.

Dementia and dignity of identity: A qualitative evidence synthesis

Cera E. Cruise et al.

Summary: In the late stages of dementia, the reliance on others for wellbeing creates an ethical need for responsive care. The concept of dignity of identity emerges as a central theme, reflecting the status each individual holds in relation to others. Through qualitative evidence synthesis, the study explores how material and discursive environments shape the abilities of dementia patients to live well in residential care settings. The findings underscore the virtual capacity of individuals with dementia to maintain dignity of identity and the influence of material conditions and discourse on their actual capacity and the surrounding care.

Key Intervention Categories to Provide Person-Centered Dementia Care: A Systematic Review of Person-Centered Interventions

Wiebke Mohr et al.

Summary: This study categorized and summarized key intervention categories in person-centered dementia care, identifying nine key intervention categories. The results indicate that person-centered care in practice exhibits heterogeneity, making it challenging to determine a well-defined concept of PCC and common key intervention categories. An evaluation of the effectiveness of person-centered care, including relationship-centered interventions, may be valuable for assessing additional benefits of explicit focus on relationships in PCC interventions.
