Many intervention studies lack an investigation of the extent to which the intervention was implemented as intended, which makes outcome measures difficult to interpret. The aim of the present study was to gain insight into the implementation process of snoezelen in 24-h dementia care. The intervention in each of six experimental wards comprised training sessions in 'snoezelen for caregivers', evaluated using a questionnaire. To study experience with implementation, the follow-up and general meetings (20 in total) were attended and semi-structured interviews (six in total) were conducted. The results indicated that the implementation of snoezelen effected a change from task-oriented care to resident-oriented care. The nursing assistants also experienced changes at the resident level and organisational changes. However, the lack of intervention in the organisational structure and obstructive factors such as understaffing seemed to get in the way of the integration of multi-sensory stimulation in the daily care in two of the six wards. r

This qualitative study explored a multi-sensory (including olfactory) intervention for people with dementia. Six themed boxes (e.g. Childhood) containing items chosen from the Boots archive designed to encourage conversation were used in weekly group sessions. Session participants were people with dementia and care staff from a local care home, a trained facilitator and archivists from Boots UK. Semi-structured interviews explored participants' experiences of the sessions. Interviews were analysed using Thematic Analysis.

Standards of medical care are determined on the basis of all clinical data available for an individual case and are subject to change as scientific knowledge advances and patterns of care evolve.The contents of this publication are guidelines to clinical practice, based on the best available evidence at the time of development. Adherence to these guidelines may not ensure a successful outcome in every case. These guidelines should neither be construed as including all proper methods of care, nor exclude other acceptable methods of care. Each physician is ultimately responsible for the management of his/her unique patient, in the light of the clinical data presented by the patient and the diagnostic and treatment options available. ForewordDementia represents a major public health concern in Singapore and worldwide. Being the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, dementia is expected to affect 55,000 patients in Singapore by the year 2020. The commonest cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease with vascular dementia being the next most important cause. Right from the stage of mild dementia up to the stages of severe dementia, this condition poses a significant health and socio-economic burden to patients, caregivers and the nation as a whole. Early diagnosis will allow appropriate use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological management. Along with disease stabilization, efforts to address caregiver burden, patient safety and medico legal concerns should form the principles of management. Clear practise guidelines will allow holistic and optimal care in dementia.I am pleased to present the revised clinical practise guidelines for dementia. In this regard the workgroup has performed a thorough review of the existing literature to recommend both pharmacological and nonpharmacological aspects of management for patients ranging from mild cognitive impairment to severe dementia. This revised guidelines also highlights issues related to the management of mild cognitive impairment, young onset dementia and e...
