Focusing on positive memories as a complement to trauma-focused interventions for intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) could contribute to enhancing the recovery from trauma with the development of a more integrated and emotionally modulated autobiographical narrative. To test the effectiveness of a trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) tailored for IPVAW that incorporates the evocation of positive memories. Female survivors of IPVAW entered a randomized controlled trial comparing trauma-focused CBT for IPVAW (CBT; = 35) to a version that incorporates the evocation of positive memories (CBT-M+; = 44) and to a waitlist (WL; = 12) control group.

The present paper is the first to analyze the characteristics of residents with dementia and the features of provided care in SCUs in comparison to residents with dementia in standard beds, thus not receiving specialized care in nursing homes in Spain.
Methods: Data on residents with dementia were collected in 11 nursing homes.
Background: The Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QOL-AD) is a reliable and valid self-report measure for assessing quality of life (QoL) in people with dementia in long-term care settings, but little is known yet about the number of patients with severe cognitive impairment who are able to complete this measure, and the characteristics of those unable to do so. The aim of the study is to advance knowledge of these issues.
Methods: Data on residents with dementia were collected from 11 nursing homes.
Background: The aim of this study is to describe and determine the factors associated with the quality of life (QoL) of patients with dementia living in nursing homes as perceived by themselves and by proxies (both family and staff).
Method: Data on residents with dementia were collected in 11 nursing homes. The Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QoL-AD) residential version was directly applied to residents with dementia diagnosis and Mini-Mental State Examination score of less than 27, randomly selected in each center.
Purpose: Quality of Life (QoL) has become increasingly valued as a key outcome in dementia both in clinical practice and in research. This study compares the QoL of long-term residents with dementia as assessed by the individuals, their relatives, and their care staff.
Design And Methods: Data on residents with dementia were collected in 11 nursing homes.
