Cultural Adaptation and Evaluation of the Namaste Care Program for Home-Dwelling People With Dementia and Their Caregivers : Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Namaste Care program is a person-centered intervention that has been shown to improve the quality of life of people with dementia and to alleviate caregiver burden. However, its application in China remains underexplored. Given China's unique sociocultural norms, cultural adaptation is essential to ensure feasibility, acceptability, and contextual fit.

Objective

The primary objective is to culturally adapt the Namaste Care Home Program to the Chinese community context. The secondary objective is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted program (qualitative analysis), and to explore its preliminary effects (quantitative analysis) on quality of life and related outcomes for people with dementia and their family caregivers.
