Developing Core Competences for Working Therapeutically With People With Dementia and Their Families
Effectiveness of counselling and psychotherapeutic interventions for people with dementia and their families
As there is currently no cure for dementia, providing psycho-social support is imperative.

However, to date, there has not been a systematic review examining the research evidence for these interventions. This review aimed to examine the following research questions: (1) Are counselling/psychotherapeutic inter…
A qualitative exploration of the clinical presentation, trajectory, management and recovery of Covid ‐19 in older people

This study explored the clinical trajectory and management of COVID-19, as well as recovery of older people following infection during the early stages of the pandemic (May to August 2020). A two-phase exploratory qualitative study was used. Frontline staff with experience of caring for older people with COVID-19 were recruited to Phase 1, and senior care home operational and…
Measuring adolescent attitudes towards dementia
The A-ADS is one the first validated measures of attitudes of dementia in adolescents, though further validation is needed. 630 adolescents were recruited from secondary schools in England. A Principal Component Analysis was completed ( n = 230) followed by a Confirmatory Factor Analysis ( n = 400). Reducing the A-ADS into a single factor, 13-item measure (Brief A-ADS) improved the model fit of the measure (χ2 = 182.75, DF = 65, CMIN/DF = 2.81, p…
Exploring self-report and proxy-report quality-of-life measures for people living with dementia in care homes
