“…Traditionally, care of older adults followed a medical model of intervention, but today the network that supports individuals in the maintenance of their motor, sensory, and cognitive skills and abilities has been moved from task-oriented to patient-centred practices that have expanded to include other health professionals (nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, etc. ), family members, and volunteers [18]. Nurses play an important role in promoting the functional, physical, social, and mental well-being of older persons and providing high quality and safe care.…”

“…To achieve person-centred outcomes, account must also be taken of the prerequisites and care environment which are necessary for providing effective care through the care processes [21]. Today, nursing interventions are increasingly focused on ensuring greater self-efficacy for older adults in their home environments [18], which is also less costly to the healthcare system than placement in long-term-care settings. Incorporating Montessori activities into the nursing care of older adults could provide a more holistic person-centred approach that promotes shared decision-making and preserves the person's dignity and autonomy.…”

Aim. Montessori activities were implemented in nursing care of older adults in the home environment with the aim of creating meaningful, inclusive, and failure-free daily activities that improve their quality of life. Material and methods. In-depth comparative case studies with exploratory methods were used based on structured interviews and observation of four purposely selected older adults with and without dementia in the home environment. The data was collected using the Montessori methodology, which was divided into five phases. Results. Diff erent types of activities and roles were developed based on the individual’s abilities and interests. The participants felt more independent and self-confident in the performance of planned activities and satisfied that they are busy during the day and engaged in activities that contribute to their better mobility and health. Conclusions. Implemented activities can facilitate the inclusion of older adults in the daily routine of family life, increase the quality of life and the possibility of self-care in the home environment.

“…Our study was mainly attended by professional Nurses, with more than 5 years of work experience. In 2014 the International Montessori Association created a "Montessori Group for Aging and Dementia Advisory" with the aim of developing guidelines for the application of the Montessori approach to elderly people with dementia 12 . All this ensures that the elderly participate in meaningful activities, in an environment that facilitates their independence.…”

“…Patients with dementia are closer to their own families than they are to researchers, and they are more receptive to the behaviors and words of their families. In a study by Volland and Fisher ( 48 ), to enable Montessori activities for patients with dementia in a clinic setting, they left blank pages on a clipboard that allowed the family to guide the patient in drawing while waiting for an appointment. In this area, no studies have been conducted in China on caregivers of patients with dementia, and interventions have been done only at the patient level.…”

Background: Patients with dementia experience a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms and behavioral disturbances. The Montessori method is a type of non-pharmacological intervention to care for people with dementia. However, there are few bibliometric studies on the application of Montessori methods. We aimed to analyze the hotspots and trends of research on the application of Montessori methods to the care of dementia patients.Methods: Microsoft Office Excel, Co-Occurrence 9.9, and CiteSpace were used to analyze the articles on Montessori intervention in patients with dementia from 2000 to 2021 in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Web of Science core collection database, PubMed, and Scopus.Results: A total of 23 Chinese language publications and 113 English language publications were included. The number of English language publications was on the rise, while the number of Chinese language publications was low. There are many issuing institutions which published articles in this field, mostly concentrated in universities. English language publication sources were more than Chinese language publication sources. The hot research topic in Chinese language publications and English language publications was the care of agitated behavior of dementia patients based on the Montessori method. The psychological problems of dementia patients are likely to become a hot issue of concern for scholars in Chinese. There will be a lot of research focusing on dementia patients and their family caregivers in this field.Conclusion: The bibliometric and visualization analysis helps us understand the current research status and hotspots of Montessori intervention in dementia patients in Chinese language publications and English language publications.
