Nurturing attentiveness: a naturalistic observation study of personal care interactions between people with advanced dementia and their caregivers
DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Findings draw on real-world empirical evidence to reinvigorate the notion of person-centredness in dementia care. The findings provide much needed insight into practical ways to improve care interactions for people with advanced dementia and enhance their personhood. Appropriate training/guidance for caregivers could support positive personal care experiences for both the person with dementia and caregiver.PMID:38267689 | DOI:10.1093/geront/gnae004
