However, limited research has been conducted to examine family carers’ expectations regarding what they perceive is required for optimal care. Therefore, this study aimed to explore family carers’ expectations regarding dementia care support and services in China. Methods A qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews, with data collected from three public tertiary hospitals where the primary family carers of people with dementia (N = 21) were recruited from May to December 2019. Purposive maximum variation sampling was used to recruit participants. Data was interpreted both inductively and deductively using thematic analysis. Findings Four themes were identified. The family carers reported minimal support regarding dementia care, and they held little hope of receiving support. However, most carers expressed their limited expectations, such as financial support from the government and respite care services from the community. Carers believed that care was their duty, and some of them were unwilling to move their relative with dementia into a nursing home. Conclusion Health and the three-tier long-term care systems in China are inadequately prepared for the challenges of dementia care, suggesting the need to develop health and social services and improve support for family carers to enable improved care for people with dementia.","PeriodicalId":51413,"journal":{"name":"Dementia-International Journal of Social Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49303777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the marital relationship is formed by individual backgrounds including society, culture and psychological status, the aim of this study was to identify the experience of being the spouse of a person with dementia in the context of their marital relationship. The study was conducted in Japan. Research Design To identify spousal experience of being, Heideggerian perspectives of interpretive phenomenology were applied. Study Sample Seven couples aged over 65 years, each comprising one partner with dementia who received home nursing, and their spouse participated in this study. Data Collection The couples were observed, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data Analysis Interpretive data analysis based on the Hermeneutic circle of Heideggerian perspectives was applied. Results In the findings, the experience of being a spouse, contextualised by spousal understandings of marital relationship, was formed through seven themes. The main context for spousal understanding of their marital relationship was helping each other as husband and wife, and this relationship was seen as natural and unchanging. It reflected on spousal potentiality of being, that is, living together indefinitely as before. Spouses tried to provide suitable care for their partners using memories while preserving a sense of identity, maintaining external relationships and accepting unanticipated internal responsibility. Conclusions In conclusion, fulfilling unmet needs could help spouses to ease intense care load, which re-acknowledges their own and their partner’s identity, and their relationship by reminiscing their past.","PeriodicalId":51413,"journal":{"name":"Dementia-International Journal of Social Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45973193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers need to understand and use the learning derived from various projects so that this growing body of knowledge can be applied in future research. Objective To embed PPIE throughout a randomised controlled trial of a psychosocial intervention called Journeying through Dementia. We identify and discuss the approaches to involvement that worked well and those where improvements were indicated. Design The Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and the Public Short Form (GRIPP2-SF) is used to describe and critically appraise the approaches taken and the impact of PPIE involvement upon study processes, the study team and those people with dementia and their supporters who acted as advisors. Findings The involvement of people with a diagnosis of dementia and supporters as study advisors improved the accessibility and relevance of the research for people living with dementia. It also highlighted issues that researchers may have otherwise overlooked. Successful engagement of people with dementia and their supporters in the study was associated with staff skills and particularly use of techniques to scaffold meaningful involvement, as well as participants’ memory and cognitive capacity. However, embedding robust and meaningful involvement processes required significant time and resources. Discussion We propose that certain research processes need to be adapted to be accessible and appropriate for people living with dementia. Recruitment of PPIE advisors needs to reflect population diversity. There also needs to be greater parity of voice between people with lived experience of dementia and researchers. These steps will increase the impact of PPIE in research and improve the experience for those who volunteer to be PPIE advisors.","PeriodicalId":51413,"journal":{"name":"Dementia-International Journal of Social Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41661953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
