Understanding and awareness of dementia in the Sikh community
Previous literature confirms that older black minority ethnic populations are less likely than white populations to contact dementia services in the UK. However, it is unknown whether this is due to a higher or lower prevalence of dementia or due to different needs or coping strategies within these communities. The aim of this study was to explore the understanding and perceptions of dementia amongst Sikhs living in the UK. Six focus groups were …
Constructions of dementia in the South Asian community: A systematic literature review
South Asians are at a greater risk of developing dementia due to having a higher incidence of diabetes than the UK population as a whole. Despite this they seem under-represented in service use for dementia. This review aimed to provide an overview of research on the perceptions of dementia in the South Asian community and the role of culture, religion and spirituality in these conceptualisations. Following a systematic literature search, five ar…
Appraising qualitative research for inclusion in systematic reviews: A quantitative and qualitative comparison of three methods
Objective: Qualitative research is increasingly valued as part of the evidence for policy and practice, but how it should be appraised is contested.

We report a narrative review of qualitative studies of breastfeeding in the UK, and identify two main themes around which the literature can be organised: first, women’s experiences o…

Qualitative research has traditionally been excluded from systematic reviews, and much effort is now being invested in resolving the daunting methodological and epistemological challenges associated with trying to move towards …
