Video Family Visit for Persons Living with Dementia in Long-Term Service and Support Settings: A Family Perspective
1College of Nursing and Health Innovation, University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA.
Objectives:
This study explored family perspectives on a six-week video family visit intervention for persons living with dementia in long-term service and support settings, focusing on its barriers and benefits.
Methods:
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five family members. A conventional content analysis was performed to analyze transcript narratives and identify shared meanings of their experiences during the intervention.
Results:
Four themes emerged: (1) Facilitating family connections and emotional well-being; (2) Technology as a barrier and a bridge; (3) The need for structured support; and (4) Adaptability in scheduling. Families noted that video family visits provided opportunities to bridge physical distance and maintain family relationships.
Conclusions:
Video family visits can serve as a valuable tool to facilitate family connections in long-term service and support settings. By addressing technological barriers, incorporating structured support, and adapting to the specific needs of families and persons living with dementia, video family visits can enhance the quality of life for both patients and their families.
Clinical Implications:
Healthcare professionals can adapt video family visits to support psychosocial well-being of persons living with dementia and their families. Appropriate training for facilitators and families is important for meaningful and quality video family visits.
