Toward better technology for social health in dementia
Background: Social health is increasingly recognized as a key dimension of wellbeing in dementia, yet it remains unclear to what extent available assistive technologies are personalisable, usable, and effective in addressing related unmet needs. Objective: This umbrella review aimed to (1) identify how many and which technologies are personalisable, usable and effective in supporting social health in dementia, and (2) synthesize recommendations f…
Addressing relationship quality of people with dementia and their family carers
Specific profiles of persons with dementia and their carers are at risk of worse relationship quality trajectories. By considering modifiable related factors (e.g., carers' stress), our findings can help develop tailored, effective interventions
User Centered Virtual Coaching for Older Adults at Home Using SMART Goal Plans and I-Change Model
Preventive care and telemedicine are expected to play an important role in reducing the impact of an increasingly aging global population while increasing the number of healthy years. Virtual coaching is a promising research area to support this process. This paper presents a user-centered virtual coach for older adults at home to promote active and healthy aging and independent living. It supports behavior change processes for improving on cogni…
A qualitative investigation into family carers’ experiences of living with/caring for a person with young-onset dementia
Ageing is a significant risk factor for developing dementia; however, some people develop symptoms before the age of 65. Although less common, it is referred to as young-onset dementia. Estimating prevalence rates in Ireland is difficult, as there has been little study around what it is like to live with/care for this cohort; consequently, it is poorly understood. Nine primary carers were interviewed using semi-structured one-to-one interviews. I…
Carers’ experiences of timely access to and use of dementia care services in eight European countries
Timely access to care services is crucial to support people with dementia and their family carers to live well. Carers of people with dementia (N = 390), recruited from eight countries, completed semi-structured interviews about their experiences of either accessing or not using formal care services over a 12-month period in the Access to Timely Formal Care (Actifcare) study. Participant responses were summarised using content analysis, categoris…
Obtaining EQ-5D-5L utilities from the disease specific quality of life Alzheimer’s disease scale
The recommended mapping algorithm allows researchers for the first time to estimate EQ-5D values from QoL-AD data, enabling cost-utility analyses using datasets where the QoL-AD but no utility measures were collected
Optimizing access to and use of formal dementia care
This paper reports on qualitative data from the Actifcare study investigating experiences, attitudes, barriers and facilitators concerning access to and use of formal care. A total of 85 semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted in eight European countries. Results were analysed with a deductive content analysis, first within country and then integrated in a cross-national analysis. Overall, analysis of the in-depth interviews revealed t…
Primary Care Education, Pathways and Research of Dementia (PREPARED)
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
(Un)Met needs of community dwelling people with dementia
Introduction: Research shows that PwD and their carers often do not receive the type, quality and amount of support needed from health and social care services. This study, part of the Access to Timely Care (Actifcare) JPND-funded project, aimed to identify the (un)met needs of Irish people with dementia (PwD) living at home and to compare these to needs assessments from a family caregiver and an independent Actifcare researcher.Theory/Methods: F…
