Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of nurses in shared decision-making with older patients suffering from dementia in acute hospital settings.
- Nurses typically participated as members of the treatment team, intermediates, or supporters to help facilitate decisions.
- The review identified that nurses were most active during the preparation phase of decision-making, but their involvement in creating tailored options was limited and they often had to influence decisions from an outside perspective.
Aims: To explore the experiences of informal caregivers of people with dementia with the hospitalization of their relative concerning patient care, interactions with nurses, caregivers' situation and the acute hospital environment.
Design: Mixed-methods design.
Methods: The data were collected using an online questionnaire among a panel of caregivers (n = 129), together with a focus group and individual interviews from February to November 2019.
Poor oral health affects quality of life and daily functioning in the general population and especially in patients with mental health disorders. Due to the high burden of oral health-related quality of life in patients with a mental health disorder, it is important for nurses to know how they can intervene in an early phase. The aim of this systematic scoping review was to identify and appraise oral health interventions in patients with a mental health disorder.

Knowledge of the level of person-centred care is essential for improving the quality of care for patients with dementia. The person-centred care of older people with cognitive impairment in acute care (POPAC) scale is a tool to determine the level of person-centred care.
