The psychometric properties of a new outcome measure of resilience for people living with dementia
This study presents preliminary field-testing and validation of the Bangor Dementia Resilience Scale, a new psychometrically sound resilience measure for people living with mild to moderate dementia. The scale may be a valuable tool for practitioners to provide strengths-based and person-centred support to maintain and enhance the resilience of people living with dementia, and evaluating the extent to which health and social care services may imp…
It’s a Postcode Lottery”
National dementia strategies are government policies that guide the provision of appropriate support for people living with dementia. These strategies, developed through extensive stakeholder engagement, should be tailored to the cultural and demographic needs of a country. Using a mixed methods survey design, this study explored the aims of the Dementia Action Plan (2018-2022) for Wales (UK) around assessment, diagnosis, and post-diagnostic supp…
Dementia in rural settings
Rural areas tend to be inhabited by more older people and thus have a higher prevalence of dementia. Combined with lower population densities and more sparse geography, rural areas pose numerous barriers and costs relating to support and resource provision. This may leave people with dementia in rural places at a significant disadvantage, leading to a heavy reliance on informal support networks. The present study explores the personal experiences…
Exploring experiential differences in everyday activities – A focused ethnographic study in the homes of people living with memory-led Alzheimer's disease and posterior cortical atrophy
These findings offer helpful insights into some the differing impacts dementia related visual and memory impairments can have on everyday activity engagement, which will be helpful for others navigating these challenges and the health and social care practitioners working with people affected by these conditions. The findings also highlight the vast individual variation in the multitude of individual and contextual factors involved in everyday ac…
"I Want to Do Something" - Exploring What Makes Activities Meaningful for Community-Dwelling People Living With Dementia
Supporting ageing in place, quality of life, and activity engagement are public health priorities for people with dementia. The importance of maintaining opportunities for meaningful activities has been widely acknowledged for those with dementia in long-term care, but little is known about what makes activities meaningful for, and how they are experienced by, people with different types of dementia in their own homes. This study used focussed et…
Hard to Reach and Hidden
Young dementia carers (YDCs) rarely receive appropriate training and support. Their visibility and identification remain dangerously low, and, consequently, support initiatives being developed are failing to reach them. This study explored the success (or failure) of YDC identification pathways as well as the barriers and enablers to their implementation. An explorative qualitative approach was followed, drawing on the experiences of parents of Y…
ISupport for Young Carers
Young dementia carers need to be recognised and supported in their role. They need help to understand the illness, what changes are expected and how it can affect their family member. Many support services, partly due to the COVID pandemic, have moved online and have been shown to be acceptable as they are low cost and reduce access barriers. iSupport is an evidence-informed e-health training programme developed by the World Health Organization (…
Childhood reading problems and cognitive ageing across mid to later life
BACKGROUND: Little research has investigated long-term associations of childhood reading with cognitive ageing. The aim of this study was to test longitudinal associations between childhood reading problems and cognitive function from mid-adulthood (age 43) to early old age (age 69), and whether associations were mediated by education. METHODS: Data were from the MRC National Survey of Health and Development, a prospective population-based birth …
Barriers to Social Participation among Lonely Older Adults
INTRODUCTION: Loneliness among older adults is a major public health problem that may be associated with processes of social participation and identity. This study therefore sought to examine the relationship between social participation and identity in a sample of lonely older adults living independently in London, England. METHOD: An inductive qualitative approach, based on semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, was employed. RESULTS…
