“…There was an emphasis on qualitative methodologies among descriptive articles and quantitative work in intervention articles. Of the quantitative intervention studies, three utilized a randomized control design (Brijoux, Kricheldorff, Hüll, & Bonfico, 2016;Glueckauf et al, 2007;Hicken et al, 2017), and one utilized a stepped wedge design (Paddick et al, 2017). Although many studies described…”

“…interventions implemented elements of both support and education, including (a) home visits; (b) case management and referral; (c) group and individual education on dementia and resources; (d) group support and counseling; (e) caregiver skill training on communication, problem solving, and behaviour management; (f) self-care; (g) advocacy; (h) day programming; and (i) respite (Brijoux et al, 2016;Clancy, 2015;Downes, 2013;Glueckauf et al, 2007;Hicken et al, 2017;Nomura et al, 2009).…”

“…A "Point of Entry" to Service Use Service use may be facilitated by having a "point of entry", such as a case manager, trusted health care or service provider, an Alzheimer Society First Link program, or initial participation in a support or education intervention. An outcome reported in several intervention studies was participants' increased knowledge of, openness to, and use of additional support services (Brijoux et al, 2016;Brotons & Marti, 2003;Scharf et al, 2006;Taylor et al, 2012;Tomkins & Bell, 2009). Alzheimer Society service providers described the importance of early connections with families, through First Link, home visits, or telephone consultations (Herron et al, 2016).…”

“…An educational DVD developed by Taylor et al (2012) for Aboriginal Australians was also a resource for the public in addition to caregivers. Education on available resources for people with dementia and their caregivers was a major component of some interventions (Brijoux et al, 2016;Coogle, 2002;Nomura et al, 2009). For example, the educational intervention developed by Coogle (2002) included directories of local resources in the target communities, and workshops included information on resources and services.…”

Dementia-Related Education and Support Service Availability, Accessibility, and Use in Rural Areas: Barriers and Solutions

et al. 2020

This scoping review mapped and synthesized published literature related to education and support services for individuals with dementia and their caregivers living rurally. Specifically, we investigated education and support service needs, availability and use of services, barriers to service access and use, and solutions to these barriers. Empirical, English-language articles (2,381) were identified within MEDLINE, CINAHL, PSYCINFO, and EMBASE. Articles were screened according to Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) five-stage scoping review methodology and the recommendations of Levac et al. (2010). Findings suggest limited availability of rural dementia-related support and education services, particularly respite care and day programs. Service use varied across studies, with barriers including low knowledge regarding services, practicality, and resource issues (e.g., transportation, financial), values and beliefs, stigma, and negative perceptions of services. Solutions included tailored and person-centred services, technological service provision, accessibility assistance, inter-organization collaboration, education regarding services, and having a “point of entry” to service use.

“…Meta-analyses by Pinquart, Sörensen & Duberstein [23,24] show that most interventions lead to medium effect sizes, which has been confirmed by newer analyses [25]. But not only professional interventions, also interventions carried out by volunteers can lead to an enhanced quality of live [26]. Typically these interventions address the relationship with the caregiver and the caregiver networking.…”

Tailor Made Care-mix in Dementia

The WHO names Dementia as the biggest challenge for Europe in the next 50 years. The Disease affects several cognitive and psychological functions and leads to a great need for care. Often this care is provided by a main caregiver. Caregiving for people with dementia is very challenging -often it goes along with depression and physical impairment. In this article two emerging trends are put into focus that will shape the field of dementia in future: Gender diversity and complex care and case management. Both trends show a development from single main caregiver constellations to a much more complex and tailor-made care mix that includes the whole caregiving family, several kinds of professions and professionals as well as volunteers.

Z Gerontol Geriat

Educational gerontology has become established over the past 40 years in a multifaceted, differentiated practice which, against the background of social change processes, combined with the phenomena of demographic change, takes up and creates room for accompanying irritations, learning requirements and opportunities. A corresponding theoretical foundation exists in the scientific discipline of geragogy, which is located at the interfaces between gerontology, educational science and social work. The close proximity between education of and social work with the elderly is meanwhile also evident in many recent research and development projects, in which theory formation for geragogy and social work as scientific disciplines take place at the same time. Against this background, the core developmental lines of geragogy are briefly sketched in this article and linked with the exemplary scientific discourse within gerontology and social work sciences. The result is a form of synthesis of central theoretical premises of social gerontology in the field of educational gerontology. This claim becomes more concrete by a recourse to the results of relevant research and development projects, which refer to different facets of educational work in different gerontological fields or as a conscious approach to methodological integration, also in the sense of participatory procedures. Theoretical and didactic approaches to educational gerontology are of increasing importance in terms of enabling integration and participation and also in the context of research and development projects. This also involves participation of the elderly as experts in their own field as well as participatory procedures and approaches. Willingness to learn and openness to educational approaches will also be the basic prerequisites for older people in the future, creating orientation in a rapidly changing world and social participation. One important task for educational gerontology in this context is to reach and to involve older people who are not very well educated and to open them up to the necessary room for social integration and participation. Methods of social work can therefore be very helpful.

Supporting Families Living With Dementia in Rural Areas

Abstract: The difference between the findings of the PP and ITT analyses may be explained in part by the different distribution of severity of dementia in the two groups (experimental and control).
