Identity cues and dementia in nursing home intervention

Abstract: This study examines the identity cues that family caregivers and healthcare personnel use with seniors living with dementia and living in nursing homes.

We interviewed nine family caregivers and 12 healthcare… Show more

“…This comprised 17 evidence reviews (not Namaste Care) [ 34 50 ], 59 primary studies (not Namaste Care) [ 33 , 51 109 ] and eight Namaste Care studies [ 8 , 10 , 12 , 27 – 31 ]. The 59 primary papers included 24 Randomised controlled trials [ 59 , 60 , 64 , 65 , 70 , 78 , 79 , 81 83 , 87 , 89 , 90 , 92 97 , 99 , 104 , 106 – 108 ], five non randomized controlled studies [ 67 , 74 , 88 , 100 , 110 ], three before/after studies [ 43 , 62 , 95 ], ten observational studies [ 52 58 , 66 , 68 , 109 ] and ten qualitative studies [ 71 , 72 , 76 , 77 , 80 , 84 , 85 , 101 103 ]. The rest included a variety of study designs including pilot studies and cross over studies.…”

“…Participants in our study described that their help to the relatives at the Moonlight changed to more hands-on care as the dementia progressed, which is in coherence with studies showing that family carers often continue to help the resident in the nursing home (Davies & Nolan 2006, Cohen et al 2014. Family members helped staff to get acquainted with their relative as a person (Vezina et al 2011), thereby helping them preserve his or her identity (Riedl et al 2013). Staff at the nursing home also described that they tried to see the person behind the disease (Ericson-Lidman et al 2013).…”

Identity cues seem to play a central role in communication and constitute important information that the family caregivers can share with health care personnel with regard to a patient living with dementia [ 22 ].…”
