Beschreibung
This new updated edition draws on the theory of person-centred care to challenge the perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes of professionals working in dementia care settings. It shows the importance of interacting with and caring for people with dementia and stresses the need to consider the world from the perspective of people with dementia.
New chapters in this edition develop on the management of end-stage dementia and end of life by underlining the importance of advanced care decisions and planning, or of psychosocial and spiritual support. New chapters will also help manage distress and changes in behaviour as well as common symptoms associated with end of life in dementia.
In addition, this book studies dementia care environments, positive interactions, meaningful activities and the concept of personhood, to show their significance in improving the health and well-being of people living with dementia.
Finally, this book gives a voice to the carers by sharing their experiences of dementia, and underscores the need to remember that the focus of care should be on maximizing the person’s abilities, enabling them, and promoting person-centred care.
