Person-centered care is crucial for dementia patients, but its implementation by nursing home staff is unclear. This study reveals communication gaps and highlights the need for adequate staffing and time, though training and better family collaboration can improve care.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nursing Science
  • Qualitative Research Methods

Context:

  • Person-centered care is a vital concept in dementia care, yet practical application by nursing home staff remains underexplored.
  • Understanding how care professionals and family members perceive and implement person-centered elements (personal image, communication, environment, dignity) is essential.

Purpose:

  • To investigate how care professionals and family members experience and apply person-centered care elements in daily dementia care.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators to implementing person-centered care in nursing homes.

Summary:

  • Qualitative interviews with five care professionals and seven family members revealed themes related to person-centered elements and preconditions for care.
  • Communication was identified as an area with significant gaps in person-centeredness, with family members desiring more involvement.
