Dignity-Preserving Dementia Care in Old Age Homes in Nepal
In recent decades, there has been growing interest in research on dignity in care for persons with dementia living in high-income countries. In contrast, such research remains limited in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to explore healthcare professionals' perceptions of the critical qualities inherent in dignity-preserving care for persons with dementia living in old age homes in Nepal. Using a hermeneutical approach, we conduc…
Intended, Unintended, Unanticipated? Consequences of Social Distancing Measures for Nursing Home Residents During the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Norwegian health authorities introduced social distancing measures in nursing homes. The aim was to protect vulnerable residents from contracting the potentially deadly infection.

Healthcare professionals’ perceptions of dignity-preserving care for older home-dwelling women with incurable cancer in Norway
Municipal end-of-life care for older home-dwelling patients with cancer is a complex matter requiring healthcare professionals (HCPs) to recognize gender differences in a social, historical and organizational context. A qualitative approach was chosen to explore and identify HCPs value-based principles and organizational conditions promoting dignity-preserving care practice for these women. HCPs recognized the importance of sheltering the women's…
Dignity humiliation as experienced by wives caring for a home-dwelling husband with dementia
In this study, we explored key sources that led wives who care for their husbands with dementia at home to experience dignity humiliation - an issue that affects the well-being of women around the world. Through hermeneutic interpretation of in-depth interviews, three key sources of this were identified: interpersonal experiences of people's indifference, curiosity and disrespectful attitudes; interpersonal experiences of limited access to health…

In-depth interviews with 13 women, and participant observations of five of these women, were performed. Hermeneutical interpretations of interview texts and field notes were conducted. Crucial experiences that preserved the women's dignity included having a sense of control, making one's…
Caring for One’s Wife With Dementia—at Home
More than 80,000 Norwegians live with dementia. Most caregivers for people with dementia are spouses, and women outnumber men. Due to an aging population, and women’s higher risk of dementia as well as men’s increased life expectancy, the number of male caregivers will rise. There are some differences in the caregiving roles of men and women. Research suggest that males report lower burden and depression than female caregivers, but some men strug…
Dignity work of older women caring for a husband with dementia at home
In this study, we explored perceptions of dignity, and sources preserving dignity of six older Norwegian women caring for a home-dwelling husband with dementia. Through hermeneutic interpretation of in-depth interviews, "having personal integrity," "mastering everyday life," and "giving of one self" were identified as crucial intrapersonal aspects of dignity - while "acknowledging worthiness and uniqueness of each human being" was found to be an …
