This study explores inter-professional care for people living with dementia and identifies the training needs of home care nurses and general practitioners involved in their care. The findings indicate challenges in collaboration and communication, as well as insufficient healthcare infrastructure.
Introduction: Successful home care for people living with dementia (PLwD) allows them to live in their own home environment for as long as possible. Current findings indicate a need for further development of medical and nursing knowledge and skills in evidence-based collaborative care for these patients.Aim:To identify specifics of inter-professional care for PLwD and training needs of home care nurses and general practitioners involved in care. Method: A multi-perspective qualitative study was conducted, comprising focus groups as well as individual interviews. Focus groups and interviews followed a semi-structured topic guide. Interview data was digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim, followed by a thematic framework analysis. Results:The sample consisted of nine nurses. one medical assistant, three general practitioners and nine family caregivers of PLwD. Five themes related to inter-professional home care were inductively developed: challenges in outpatient dementia care, challenges in collaboration, insufficient healthcare infrastructure, competencies needed in dementia care, and training requirements. Challenges were a lacking flow of information as well as continuity and organization of care. Home care nurses and family caregivers complained about missing communication skills in health professionals involved in the care of PLwD. Conclusions: The interviews revealed heterogeneous training needs of home care nursing staff and general practitioners that can be addressed by an inter-professional training course.
