Through the eyes of others - the social experiences of people with dementia: a systematic literature review and synthesis.

Method: A systematic review of qualitative literature published between 1989 and May 2016 was conducted, utilizing the electronic databases PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and CINAHL-Complete.
