“…The sample size (n=51) in one study is rather small . In conclusion, only eight quantitative studies (Li et al, 2012;Edvardsson, 2014;Marventano et al, 2015;Wetzels et al, 2010;Crespo et al, 2011;Black et al, 2012;Terada et al, 2012;Monteiro et al, 2014 ) are considered to be as high quality, which meet all the quality criteria. Five articles were considered to be low-quality articles (Altus et al, 2002;Winzelberg et al, 2005;Hodgson et al, 2014;Heggie et al, 2011;Banerjee et al, 2005), as they only meet one or two criteria (See Table 1).…”

“…The facilitation of meaningful activities and relationships that promote quality of life and thriving (Bergland & Kirkevold, 2006, 2008; Edvardsson, Petersson, Sjögren, Lindkvist, & Sandman, 2014; Edvardsson et al., 2017; Patomella, Sandman, Bergland, & Edvardsson, 2016; Zingmark, Sandman, & Norberg, 2002) is highlighted as a relevant dimension of person‐centered care practices in NHs. There has been particular attention in research on the role and meaning that activities have for older adults living in NHs (Gustavsson, Liedberg, & Larsson Ranada, 2015; McCormack, Karlsson, et al., 2010, 2011; Van't Leven & Jonsson, 2002).…”

Doing tasks, such as watering plants, doing laundry or setting the table, has been addressed as meaningful for older adults living in NHs (Edvardsson, Petersson, et al., 2014; Harnett, 2014). This knowledge about activities meaning for older adults is important, but limited because these tasks constitute just a small part of everyday activities in a NH.…”

This study focuses on influence that older adults, living in nursing homes, have over everyday activities. Everyday activities are key to sustain a sense of stability, predictability, and enjoyment in the local world of people's everyday and therefore a critical dimension of the person‐centeredness framework applied within gerontology. This narrative ethnographic study aimed to shed light on how influence can be situated contextually, and how it can emerge through activities as well as how it is negotiated in everyday by frail older adults living in a nursing home. Residents, staff members, and significant others from one nursing home in an urban area of Sweden participated in this study. Data were gathered through fieldwork, including participant observation and formal and informal conversations during a period of 6 months. Data were analyzed through a narrative interpretative approach. The findings are presented in narrative form as exemplars. The exemplars—Craquelures as justification, Seeking a place for other life worlds and An almost perfect trip—reveal a gap between the client‐centeredness framework and lived experiences regarding older adults’ influence in everyday activities. The role of everyday activities in the context of frailty is discussed in terms of ethical and responsive engagement, and implications for health‐care practices are considered.

“…This may need to be further investigated in other ways. This may also indicate that the purpose and use of the trained therapy dog team has not yet been clearly justified and established in the care of older persons with dementia, and not yet in a totally person-centred way [38,39] where the person's need for activity and sleep are taken into consideration. The therapy dog's impact on each person needs to be individually evaluated in respect of both daytime activity and night-time sleep.…”

The aim was to investigate how continuous and scheduled visits by a prescribed therapy dog affected daytime and night-time sleep for persons with Alzheimer's disease. Methods:In this case study, registration of activity and sleep curves was conducted from five persons with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease living at a nursing home, over a period of 16 weeks using an Actiwatch. Data was analysed with descriptive statistics. Result:The study shows no clear pattern of effect on individual persons daytime activity and sleep when encounter with a therapy dog, but instead points to a great variety of possible different effects that brings an increased activity at different time points, for example during night-time sleep. Conclusions:Effects from the use of a Animal-Assisted Therapy with a dog in the care of persons with Alzheimer's disease needs to be further investigated and analysed from a personcentred view including both daytime and nightime activities.
