Traditionally, pharmacological approaches have been used to manage behaviour; however, research indicates limited effectiveness. National guidelines recommend use of non-pharmacological interventions as first line treatment for distress, but further research is required to elucidate the components that lead to improved care for people living with dementia. This study aims to explore what works, examining case studies in which a non-pharmacological clinical intervention, the Newcastle Model, was used to understand and manage distressed behaviour in dementia care within care home settings. <b>Method:</b> A qualitative case study design was used. Three cases were selected from the Edinburgh Behaviour Support Service for their success in preventing care home placement breakdown during a distressed behaviour intervention in NHS Scotland. Family members and staff involved in the interventions within these cases were interviewed (<i>N</i> = 6). Thematic analysis was used to analyse data. <b>Findings:</b> All participants reported positive outcomes from the intervention. Three key themes were identified, each with subthemes. Participants described a supportive, non-judgmental environment which allowed them to integrate knowledge about dementia and tailor interventions to the specific needs of the individual living with dementia. There was also a sense of family and staff coming together to unite with shared goals. A preliminary model of all of themes and their interactions is presented. <b>Conclusion:</b> The study supports use of biopsychosocial, formulation-led approaches in the understanding and treatment of complex behavioural presentations in community care settings. It suggests that clinicians should endeavour to facilitate safe and open environments for care home staff and family members, in order to promote attribution change and person-centered care, and to help mediate differences and conflict between staff and family members.</p>","PeriodicalId":72778,"journal":{"name":"Dementia (London, England)","volume":" ","pages":"171-190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142482307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to assess study quality. <b>Data sources:</b> A comprehensive search was conducted across five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE CINAHL and Scopus) from June to August 2023, and the citations to the included studies were tracked through citation tracking in Google Scholar to identify potentially relevant studies. <b>Results:</b> Of the 2022 articles retrieved, 12 were included in this review.

Excluding people with dementia from research is a form of epistemic injustice. In this article, we discuss epistemic injustice associated with data collection processes and the participation of people with dementia in scientific research. The challenges of participation that we discuss pertain to the role of gatekeepers and ethical research perspectives. The arguments presented are based on previous research, experiences from our current project, and critical self-assessment regarding the latter. The aim is to shed light on what enables or prevents people living with dementia from participating in research, and how this is connected to epistemic injustice. It is known that prejudices related to dementia affect both researchers and people living with dementia: the former tend to exclude people with dementia, and the latter may practice self-silencing due to dementia-related stigma. In addition to these individual issues, we argue that epistemic injustice occurs at a structural level, where a major role is played by gatekeepers and research ethics panels. As close family members, health officials, and dementia-related associations are the main gatekeepers, their attitudes and perceptions are highlighted. In terms of ethical issues, the concept of informed consent needs to be elaborated. If the research is not expected to harm participants and may contribute to improving the lives of those with dementia, the perspective should be shifted from informed consent to ongoing consent assessment. While acknowledging the features and symptoms of dementia, researchers should be more courageous, trust in the good cause, and enable persons living with dementia to participate in research that concerns them.
