Abstract:
The prevalence of wounds and comorbidities such as dementia increases with age. Given projected rises in population ageing and growth, the likelihood of encountering an overlap in these conditions in clinical practice has increased. Clinicians provide wound care for patients in a variety of settings, drawing on different evidence-based clinical guidelines. Most research into wound care has excluded patients with dementia. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide safe strategies and methods of implementation in those patients living with dementia.
