Challenging behaviour is common in people with dementia at home. Nurses guide people with dementia and their informal caregivers managing challenging behaviour. However, common nursing guidelines for challenging behaviour in home care are unsuitable to the situation of migrants with dementia. We started a co-creation project with home care nurses, dementia case managers, informal caregivers of migrant background and student nurses as co-researchers that aims to develop an appropriate guideline. Semi-structured interviews at the start explored the current experiences with challenging behaviour. Interview results informed several working sessions where we discussed the results and used creative working methods such as role play to develop a first prototype of the guideline. The prototype was implemented in the daily practice of six home care teams and followed up during reflection meetings with our co-researchers. Our guideline puts special attention to getting familiar with each other before taking steps in managing challenging behaviour.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
