Balancing between dual belongings when organised into interdisciplinary teams, with the trust model as the context: A qualitative study.

Background: Home-based healthcare services are facing challenges and pressures of increasing needs due to an ageing population, rising workload for an overburdened workforce, and limited financial resources. The trust model is an approach to address the challenges, by organizing the home-based healthcare services into smaller, autonomous interdisciplinary teams. The aim is to involve users and next of kin in decision-making and trusting frontline workers' professional judgement, thus making the services more flexible and individually tailored.

Unspoken expectations and situational participation: a qualitative study exploring the instantiation of next of kin involvement within the trust model.

Background: Demographic changes, such as an increase in older adults, present a challenge to the healthcare service's current capacity. Moreover, the need for healthcare personnel is rising, while the availability of labour is dwindling, leading to a potential workforce shortage. To address some of these challenges, enhanced collaboration between home-based healthcare frontline workers, service users, and next of kin is a necessity.

Always on alert: How relatives of family members with dementia experience the transition from home to permanent nursing home placement.

Aim: Our aim was to gain insight into how the relatives of family members with dementia have experienced their family members' transition from home to permanent nursing home placement.

Design: Our research was a qualitative case study.

Methods: Inspired by Kvale and Brinkmann's phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, we performed the thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews describing how the relatives of family members with dementia have experienced the dementia trajectory.

Different senses of one's place: Exploring social adjustment to home-based care services among family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds who have relatives living with dementia.

Western dementia care policies emphasise that family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds must become more engaged in healthcare services. However, research exploring experiences of receiving services such as home-based care, and thus adjustment to the service, among family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds who have relatives with dementia is still scarce. Therefore, inspired by Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical concepts of field, habitus and capital, we explored how family caregivers from different minority ethnic backgrounds justified decisions about whether to receive home-based care and their social adjustment to the service.

Informal caregivers and assistive technology in Norwegian nursing homes.

Aim: To explore informal caregivers' experiences and perspectives concerning assistive technology (AT) in two nursing homes, through the conceptual lens of person-centredness.

Background: The integration and use of AT and a person-centred approach to care are political intentions within healthcare services, both internationally and in Norway. In nursing homes, informal caregivers are often collaborators with the staff, and can be important partners concerning the implementation of AT in a person-centred way.

Digital Assistive Technology to Support Everyday Living in Community-Dwelling Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia.

Objective: The objective of this review was to explore whether knowledge about and practice of technology for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia (D) had developed since our 2017 review. Furthermore, we wanted to explore the usability and acceptability of technology in the newer trials, and how these may impact quality of life, occupational performance and human dignity.

Materials And Methods: We searched for primary studies published between 2017 and 2020 reusing medical subject heading (MeSH) terms in five databases - Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, Amed and Cinahl - and obtained 1452 titles.

Interactions between healthcare personnel and family caregivers of people with dementia from minority ethnic backgrounds in home-based care-An explorative qualitative study.

Aims: To explore how healthcare personnel in home-based care perceive interactions with family caregivers of people with dementia from minority ethnic backgrounds.

Background: Research shows that the organization of home-based care rarely allows opportunities to provide support to family caregivers in practice. However, how these organizational structures influence the way in which healthcare personnel perceive their interactions with family caregivers of people with dementia from minority ethnic backgrounds remains an unexplored area.

Family caregivers' experiences of providing care for family members from minority ethnic groups living with dementia: A qualitative systematic review.

Aims And Objectives: To review the literature on family caregivers' experiences of providing care for a family member from an ethnic minority group living with dementia within the European context.

Background: Due to labour migration during the late 1960s and early 1970s, many European countries are now encountering an increasing number of older people from diverse ethnic minority groups who have been diagnosed with dementia. Although family care is predominantly used as a care pathway among families with immigrant backgrounds, little is known about family caregivers' experiences of providing care for a family member with dementia.

Needs-led research: a way of employing user involvement when devising research questions on the trust model in community home-based health care services in Norway.

Background: This paper presents a user involvement process, called needs-led research, conducted as a part of a doctoral degree project aiming to explore research priorities and, ultimately, to develop a final top 10 list of questions relevant to the field of research. There is evidence of a mismatch between what user groups within a research field find relevant to study and what is actually being done. User involvement is a method that can accommodate this, and there is a growing attention and amount of research in this field based on an understanding that people who receive health care services, and their next of kin and clinicians, are uniquely positioned to contribute to research in order to understand their experiences better and improve the services.

'What matters to you?'-a qualitative study on the views of nursing home residents with dementia regarding the health care they receive.

Aims And Objective: This study's aim is to examine what matters to nursing home residents with dementia by exploring their perceptions of nursing home health care through the conceptual lens of person-centred care.

Background: Dementia is a major contributor to nursing home placement. To understand the meaning of living with dementia, the inclusion of persons with dementia in research studies is essential.

Involving older adults in technology research and development discussions through dialogue cafés.

Background: Citizen involvement is important for ensuring the relevance and quality of many research and innovation efforts. Literature shows that inadequate citizen involvement poses an obstacle during the research, development, and implementation of assistive technology. Previous studies have addressed the advantages and disadvantages of citizen engagement in health research and technology development, and there is concern about how to ensure valuable engagement to avoid situations where they don't have influence.

Methods: This study combines findings from a cross-sectional study with a questionnaire package ( = 83) and from qualitative individual interviews ( = 7) and is part of a larger study, the Assisted Living Project.

'The desire for a harmonious interaction': A qualitative study of how healthcare professionals in community-based dementia teams perceive their role in reaching and supporting family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds.

Aims And Objectives: To explore how healthcare professionals in community-based dementia teams perceive their role in reaching and supporting family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds when caring for a family member suffering from dementia or cognitive impairment.

Background: Despite increased focus on barriers to accessing the dementia healthcare service for family caregivers from minority ethnic backgrounds, the lack of knowledge on how to address these barriers in order to reach and support this group is evident.

Design: The study has a qualitative, explorative design.

What matters to you when the nursing is your home: a qualitative study on the views of residents with dementia living in nursing homes.

Background: Dementia is recognised as one of the greatest global public health challenges. A central tenet of national health and social care policy is to ensure that services support people in achieving their personal well-being and outcomes, defined as the things important to people in their lives, also people with dementia. The aim of this study is to explore what matters to nursing home residents with dementia based on their perceptions of nursing homes as home.

Community Health Care Workers' Experiences on Enacting Policy on Technology with Citizens with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia.

Purpose: Assistive technologies and digitalization of services are promoted through health policy as key means to manage community care obligations efficiently, and to enable older community care recipients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia (D) to remain at home for longer. The overall aim of this paper is to explore how community health care workers enacted current policy on technology with home-dwelling citizens with MCI/D.

Participants And Methods: Twenty-four community health care workers participated in one of five focus group discussions that explored their experiences and current practices with technologies for citizens with MCI/D.

Being a trained volunteer Peer Supporter for carers of people living with dementia in Norway: Reciprocal benefits and challenges.

This qualitative, exploratory study aimed to investigate the perception of benefits and the challenges of Peer Support services to carers of people with dementia. Four focus group interviews were conducted with volunteer Peer Supporters (n = 40)-all former carers-on their experience of supporting such carers. One overriding theme was of making the carers' path smoother by giving the possibility for free time and reflection, and three themes summarised their experience: 'filling the gap between health care and everyday life challenges', 'importance of mutual and unique experience based on skills and knowledge' and 'the importance of setting limits'.

It takes two to tango: carers' reflections on their participation and the participation of people with dementia in the James Lind Alliance process.

Background: Worldwide, patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research has grown steadily in recent decades. The James Lind Alliance (JLA) is one approach to PPI that brings patients, carers and clinicians together to identify priorities for future research in a Priority Setting Partnership (PSP). Our study aim was to describe the reflections of informal carers of people with dementia on the possibility of participating in the JLA's PSP process, for both themselves and the recipients of their care.
