“…The signi cant improvement in BPSD competence after adaptive learning could support the previous nding that individually adaptive education that suits each nursing professional's level leads to more competent practice and thus to more effective care [10]. Although the experimental group was signi cantly improved more than the control group, the web-based education without adaptive learning also had a signi cant positive effect on BPSD care competence.…”

“…Improving the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) care competence has been a major dementia educational goal for nursing staff in LTCFs [9,10]. Because choosing an appropriate pharmacological and/or non-pharmacological approach is a comprehensive process that simultaneously takes into account both a resident's presenting symptoms and his or her personal characteristics while keeping in mind a facility's environment, BPSD care in LTCFs requires a more intensive education [11,12].…”

Background Continuing education in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) is faced with a transition to distance learning, such as web-based education, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic. As behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are managed by integrative direct care of nursing staff that includes nurses, nursing assistants, and care workers whose educational background and needs are diverse, an effective and efficient web-based education with concrete pedagogical and theoretical basis is needed. In this context, adaptive learning could be considered an innovative educational strategy that enables individual approaches to focus on only the necessary elements by adapting time and content according to individual needs. Therefore, we aimed to develop an adaptive learning web-based BPSD education system for LTCFs nursing staff.Methods The adaptive learning web-based BPSD education was developed based on the frameworks of BPSD education and adaptive learning models. The system was developed as a Google Chrome-based website with an embedded artificial intelligence chatbot that promoted an interactive learning experience. The educational program was evaluated with a multisite single-blinded quasi-experimental design. The experimental group (N = 28) received an adaptive learning system that allowed learners to adapt the educational content according to their prior knowledge. The control group (N = 30) received a web-based learning system that could not be adapted.Results All components of learning effectiveness, including BPSD competence, BPSD knowledge, and self-efficacy, were significantly improved in the experimental group compared with the control group (p = .036; p = .003; and p = .002; respectively). System satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (p = .002), and 75% of the participants in the experimental group actively adapted their individual educational contents.Conclusions This study developed and evaluated an adaptive learning web-based BPSD education system for LTCF nursing staff. From a pedagogical theory and educational framework basis, it was identified that the adaptive learning system had positive outcomes on learning and system effectiveness, which suggest an innovative strategy toward a ‘new normal’ education for nursing staff of LTCFs in the post-COIVD-19 era.

“…We analysed 33 qualitative papers that focused on dementia care in hospitals. Eleven papers reported findings from focus groups (Baillie et al, 2012a; Baillie et al, 2012b; Chater and Hughes, 2013; Fry et al, 2015, 2016, 2017; Fukuda et al, 2015; Kable et al, 2015; Robinson et al, 2013; Ryan et al, 2012; Taneichi and Rokkaku, 2020) and 22 papers were interviews (Aita et al, 2007; Borbasi et al, 2006; Bryon et al, 2010, 2012a, 2012b; Cowdell, 2010; Dowding et al, 2016; Eriksson and Saveman, 2002; Handley et al, 2019; Hunter et al, 2017; Hynninen et al, 2015; Krupic et al, 2016; Lichtner et al, 2015, 2016; McPherson et al, 2016; Moyle et al, 2011; Nilsson et al, 2013; Nolan, 2006, 2007; Scerri et al, 2015; Spencer et al, 2014; Turner et al, 2017a). The findings have been grouped under the following theoretical themes which were generated from a systems framework: patient–staff relationships, patient care decisions, staff–family relationships, staff–staff relationships, hospital policies and protocols, hospital environment and hospital tools/equipment.…”

Background: Significant numbers of people with dementia are admitted into acute settings. They are likely to face poor health outcomes during hospitalisation. There is the need to fully understand the care provided to people with dementia through novel methods such a systems approach (i.e. human interactions, policy, environment and equipment). Aim: The aim of this literature review is to explore hospital practitioners’ views on dementia care and to analyse findings using a systems approach. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of primary studies that examined dementia care in acute settings. We analysed a total of 33 papers using Thomas and Harden’s thematic synthesis guidelines. Results: Thirty-three papers met the inclusion criteria for the review. The findings were as follows: (1) staff-patient relationships (e.g. coping with difficult behaviour), (2) staff–family relationships (e.g. the benefits of involving families in patient care), (3) staff–staff relationships (e.g. building a robust multidisciplinary team), (4) staff–patient care decisions (e.g. decisions directly related to the patient), (5) the environment (e.g. difficulty in adjusting to the hospital environment), (6) policies (e.g. hospital bureaucratic processes) and (7) equipment (e.g. pain assessment tools). Conclusion: The paper revealed multidimensional challenges in the provision of dementia care within hospitals. We conclude that training programmes, hospital policies and processes aimed at improving outcomes for patients with dementia should adopt a systems approach which focuses on the relational, environmental, procedural and instrumental aspects of the hospital system.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to highlight key issues pertaining to making use of Islamic equity indices and proposing possible solutions to address the problems faced in advancement of the concept of Shariah investing (SI) with the aim to advance the discourse on the subject. Design/methodology/approach Online focus group discussion (FGD) was carried out in which ten Islamic finance researchers and analysts belonging to institutions considered as authority on the subject matter participated to share their viewpoints on Islamic equity indices. Content analysis on the collected data of FGD was carried out which has revealed six key themes. Findings Six broader themes were identified based on the analysis of FGD, which includes criteria for constructing Islamic equity indices, utilization of Islamic equity indices for comparison with conventional stock indices, stock market efficiency perspectives, reason for integration of different equity markets, investors’ awareness of SI and future directions of Islamic equity indices. Results of the study indicate that Islamic finance researchers and analysts opined that there is a need for revising the criteria for construction of Islamic equity indices. There are conflicting viewpoints regarding performance and efficiency of Islamic indices in comparison with conventional indices and main reasons for stock market integration are trade liberalization, globalization and other factors. Moreover, there is a need for making investors and other market players aware about the attractiveness of Islamic indices from investing point of view. Originality/value Based on this extensive literature review and as highlighted by Masih et al. (2018) in their recap of literature on Islamic equity indices indicating that there are bulk of empirical studies carried in the past in the domain, however, there is a dearth of theoretical and qualitative studies. Hence, this preliminary qualitative study not only makes theoretical contribution but also deploys FGD, which is rarely used in the similar context, and offers candid views of the participants on key issues pertaining to Islamic equity indices. This lends novelty to this study.
