- Dementia presents significant challenges for individuals and their caregivers, often leading to social isolation and difficulty accessing necessary support, prompting the exploration of social prescribing (SP) as a means to enhance resource access.
- The study will conduct a systematic review of existing SP interventions for people living with dementia and their caregivers, utilizing a thorough methodology across multiple scientific databases and an iterative logic model approach to understand current practices and needs.
- No ethical approval is needed since the review will only analyze secondary data, and results will be shared through peer-reviewed publications and presentations to relevant stakeholders.
