Background: The policies and mission statements of nursing homes support the implementation of person-centred dementia care. The Dementia Policy Questionnaire assesses the content of person-centred dementia care in policies. To date, it is unknown whether these policies exist exclusively in dementia care units and whether the policies are consistent with the mission statements of nursing homes.

Objectives: This review identifies and examines theoretical approaches (components and objectives) to person-centred dementia care in order to obtain a better understanding of what is meant by the concept of person-centred dementia care.

Design: Following the approach of Whittemore and Knafl, an integrative literature review was conducted to answer the following questions: (1) Which theoretical approaches to person-centred dementia care have been published? (2) What are the components of the theoretical approaches to person-centred dementia care thus identified, and which objectives can be identified?

Data Sources: MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO) and PsycINFO (via EBSCO) were searched through to 26 April 2021.

Eligibility Criteria: We included any kind of published literature that describes theoretical approaches to person-centred dementia care and that was written in German or English.

Objectives: The current study aimed to develop and preliminarily validate an initial version of an instrument to assess the leisure activity preferences of people receiving adult day services (ADS).

Methods: Based on previously conducted concept mapping steps, we identified 12 clusters of preferences for leisure activities. We adopted the structure of the Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory and phrased our cluster labels as questions to develop a first draft of the Preferences for Leisure Activities Inventory (P-LAI).

Background And Objectives: Providing preferred leisure activities appears to be an important approach to support and empower people receiving adult day services (ADS) allowing them to age in place. To provide the conceptualization for a preference instrument, we actively involved people receiving ADS in exploring the content and structure of their preferences for leisure activities.

Research Design And Methods: We chose a concept mapping methodology and involved 16 people receiving ADS.

Background: Caring for people with dementia is complex, and there are various evidence-based interventions. However, a gap exists between the available interventions and how to implement them. The objectives of our review are to identify implementation strategies, implementation outcomes, and influencing factors for the implementation of evidence-based interventions that focus on three preselected phenomena in people with dementia: (A) behavior that challenges supporting a person with dementia in long-term care, (B) delirium in acute care, and (C) postacute care needs.

Background: Systematic reviews summarize and evaluate relevant studies to contribute to evidence-based practice. Internationally, researchers have reached a consensus that the active involvement of the public leads to better research. Despite this agreement, there are many reviews of research concerning healthcare interventions intended to promote the care of people living with dementia and those from their social network (e.

Background: Care counseling is an important psychosocial intervention for people with care needs and their relatives and can contribute to maintaining and/or improving a patient's quality of life and reducing the burden of caregivers. This is especially the case for people with dementia and their relatives, in which the methods of care counseling need to be different than those for individuals with non-dementia related care needs. Furthermore, the counseling content needs to be adjusted to the specific form and stage of dementia.

Introduction: Worldwide, our societies are characterised by increasing diversity, which is greatly contributed to by people who have migrated from one country to another. To provide person-centred care, healthcare staff need to consider the personal background, biography and preferences of people with care needs. Little is known about the care preferences of older migrants and minority ethnic groups.

Introduction: Literature reviews represent an important type of study for the various professions in healthcare. The consideration and inclusion of grey literature is gaining importance in all types of reviews. However, searching for grey literature is challenging for different reasons and the search is often insufficiently transparently reported in reviews.

Introduction: Various evidence-based interventions are available to improve the care of people with dementia in different care settings, many of which are not or are only partially implemented in routine care. Different implementation strategies have been developed to support the implementation of interventions in routine care; however, the implementation of complex interventions remains challenging. The aim of our reviews is to identify promising strategies for, significant facilitators of and barriers to the implementation of evidence-based interventions for very common dementia care phenomena: (A) behaviour that challenges supporting a person with dementia in long-term care, (B) delirium in acute care and (C) the postacute care needs of people with dementia.

Introduction: Consideration of the preferences for everyday living of older people with various care needs is a prerequisite for person-centred and evidence-based nursing care. Knowledge of and respect for these preferences by nursing staff are associated with better care outcomes for older people with various care needs. To assess preferences in a structured way, instruments focusing on different topics of everyday living appear to be useful.

Translation and culture sensitive adaptation of the PELI ("Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory") for nursing settings The consideration of individual preferences of people with care needs in the sense of person-centred care requires a systematic recording of preferences related to everyday living. Therefore, the Preferences for Everyday Living Inventory (PELI) was developed in the USA. The aim was to translate the current version of the PELI-NH (Nursing Home), into German (PELI-D) and to adapt this version in a culturally sensitive manner home care, adult day care and nursing home.

Unlabelled: Preferences for everyday living written in the nursing record - An explorative document analysis in various nursing settings Background: In Germany, there was previously no instrument for the systematic recording of preferences for the everyday living of older and people in need of care. Subsequently, in a pilot study, an instrument was translated in a culturally sensitive way (PELI-D), piloted and tested psychometrically. In terms of documentation quality, it is important that the preferences recorded by nursing staff are written down in the nursing record using PELI-D, plausibly based on the nursing process.
