Background: Sleep disturbance is a prevalent condition among people living with dementia (PLwD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Its assessment and management within primary care is complex because of the comorbidities, older age, and cognitive impairment typical of this patient group.
Aim: To explore how primary care clinicians assess, understand, and manage sleep disturbance for PLwD or MCI; if and why such initiatives work; and how people and their carers experience sleep disturbance and its treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in healthcare research ensures that research is conducted "with" or "by" the public, emphasizing active participation in shaping research directions rather than being passive subjects.
- The TIMES study, focused on improving sleep management for individuals with dementia, has effectively integrated PPIE by valuing the voices of participants and collaborating with various community organizations.
- The editorial highlights the importance of inclusivity and shares practical experiences and tips for researchers, drawing on six key UK standards for public involvement and featuring a diverse advisory forum incorporating various community perspectives.
