Power, empowerment, and person-centred care: Using Ethnography to Examine the Everyday Practice of Unregistered Dementia Care Staff

In formal organisational settings, person-centred approaches place particular responsibility on 'empowered' direct-car…

Although there is much written on the emotional labour of nursing, there is little research grounded in the experience of so-called ‘unqualified’ care assistants.

METHODS: The translated …
