Virtual individual cognitive stimulation therapy (V-iCST): Mixed methods feasibility randomised controlled trial.

Objective: Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a dementia intervention shown to improve cognition and quality of life (QoL). Previous research on individual CST delivered by family carers showed no significant improvements in people with dementia. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Virtual Individual Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (V-iCST) delivered by healthcare personnel.

Traumatic life events and risk for dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To systematically review the association between traumatic life events (TLE) and dementia risk.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data Sources: APA, PsychINFO, Embase and MEDLINE from their inception to 29.

Equity in care and support provision for people affected by dementia: experiences of people from UK South Asian and White British backgrounds.

Objectives: To explore the care and support received and wanted by United Kingdom (UK) South Asian and White British people affected by dementia and whether access to it is equitable.

Design: Semi-structured interviews using a topic guide.

Setting: Eight memory clinics across four UK National Health Service Trusts; three in London and one in Leicester.

Tailoring STrAtegies for RelaTives for Black and South Asian dementia family carers in the United Kingdom: A mixed methods study.

Objectives: We culturally adapted STrAtegies for RelaTives (START), a clinically and cost-effective intervention for dementia family carers, for Black and South Asian families. It had previously been delivered to family carers around the time of diagnosis, when most people with dementia had very mild, mild or moderate dementia.

Methods: We interviewed a maximum variation sample of family carers (phase one; n = 15 South Asian; n = 11 Black) about what aspect of START, required cultural adaptation, then analysed it thematically using the Cultural Treatment Adaptation Framework then adapted it in English and into Urdu.

Understanding the subjective experiences of memory concern and MCI diagnosis: A scoping review.

Introduction: Many older people experience memory concerns; a minority receive a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Subjective Cognitive decline (SCD). There are concerns that medicalisation of MCI and memory concern may fail to acknowledge subjective experiences.

Aim: We explore the meaning individuals give to their memory concerns, with or without a diagnosis of MCI and SCD.

Experience of UK Latin Americans caring for a relative living with dementia: A qualitative study of family carers.

Introduction: Most studies of the Latin American immigrant experience and care for relatives living with dementia have been in the United States (US). In the United Kingdom (UK), unlike the US, most Latin Americans are first generation immigrants and are a rapidly increasing population. Therefore, we aimed to explore the UK experiences of Latin Americans caring for a relative with dementia.

Culturally tailored therapeutic interventions for people affected by dementia: a systematic review and new conceptual model.

Most people with dementia live in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and there is an increased dementia prevalence in some minority ethnic groups in high-income countries. However, most interventions are devised for majority populations in high-income countries. We systematically searched 11 electronic databases for culturally tailored interventions for people with dementia and their family carers in LMICs and minority ethnic groups, without limit on language or date.
