Related Experiment Videos

  • Semi-structured interviews conducted with ten nurses.
  • Thematic analysis of interview data.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified key care themes: 'encouraging a sense of belonging', 'providing opportunities for occupation', 'adjusting oneself to the resident', and 'striving to promote a sense of self in the resident'.
    • Nurses actively work to foster a positive living environment and maintain residents' dignity.
    • There is a recognized need to define abstract care concepts more concretely.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings highlight the multifaceted nature of providing quality care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
    • Translating ideals like 'good care' and 'homelike environment' into actionable practice requires clear definitions and consistent application.
    • Further research is needed to operationalize these concepts in dementia care.
