Barriers and facilitators to implementing person-centred care among people living with dementia in nursing homes: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Person-centred care is considered the gold standard for long-term care of people living with dementia, yet there remains a significant gap between this standard and its actual implementation. Integrating this Western-developed approach into the distinct cultural context of Chinese nursing homes presents unique challenges. Currently, there is a lack of qualitative research exploring the barriers and facilitators faced by Chinese nursing home staff in implementing person-centred care for people living with dementia.

Objective

To investigate the barriers and facilitators encountered by nursing home staff in implementing person-centred care for people living with dementia.

Design

A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted.

Methods

Purposive sampling
