“…Our caregiver participants tended to have more top‐down than bottom‐up expectations about developing DFC (ADI, ; Lin, Becker, & Belza, ). This might be due to the cultural values about authority mentioned above and the dementia‐care movement and national dementia plan having only been initiated a few years ago (Ministry of Health & Welfare, Taiwan, ).…”

“…Specifically, our caregiver participants identified the Head of Boroughs and Neighbourhoods as the best initiator for creating friendlier DFC. They also expressed the importance of the government's role in educating the public about dementia through elementary schools, television and other media.Our caregiver participants tended to have more top-down than bottom-up expectations about developing DFC(ADI, 2015;Lin, Becker, & Belza, 2014).

Aims To identify dementia‐friendly communities’ indicators and their current conditions in Taiwan from the perspectives of people with dementia and dementia‐family caregivers. Design This qualitative study explored the opinions and experiences of people with dementia and dementia‐family caregivers regarding dementia‐friendly communities. Methods Participants (16 people with dementia and 20 family caregivers) were recruited from neurological clinics, day care centres for people with dementia and support groups for family caregivers in the Taipei community from July ‐ October, 2016. Data were collected in face‐to‐face interviews, which were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed by Miles and Huberman's (1994) guidelines. Results Similar indicators for dementia‐friendly communities were identified in Taiwan as in other countries, including dementia‐friendly care services, dementia‐friendly hospitals, dementia‐friendly community environment, dementia‐friendly transportation, dementia‐friendly stores and shops, dementia friendly people, integrated dementia‐related information and community contribution‐ and ‐involvement opportunities for people with dementia. However, Taiwanese people with dementia and family caregivers described no emphasis on the potential of people with dementia to contribute to developing dementia‐friendly communities and more top‐down expectations for the government's role. Conclusion These indicators can be a guide for developing and evaluating dementia‐friendly communities in Taiwan. Differences between Taiwan and Western developed countries in indicators for dementia‐friendly communities can be further explored. Community nursing assessment, interventions, and evaluation based on these dementia‐friendly communities indicators can be further developed. Impact This study developed indicators for dementia‐friendly communities in an Asian country. These indicators can be used as a guide for developing and evaluating dementia‐friendly communities.

“…This should be understood as a warning indicating the fact that the development of the SC should in the future be further improved. Providing constant education for public personnel and personnel in other services can yield higher life quality of PWD, their better social inclusion and their lower social stigmatisation [39,40]. By creating an environment which enables PWD to be better oriented we can also enable PWD to constantly remain mobile is very important for strengthening their health.…”

Introduction: Awareness and knowledge of the effectiveness of four supporting cornerstones (SC) (i.e. people, place, network, resources) for people with dementia (PWD) in rural region have not yet been well analysed. The purpose of the research was to collect data about general population's dementia-related knowledge and about the support for PWD according to the SC. Methods: The research was done using a questionnaire evaluating dementia-related knowledge thereby comparing different groups of respondents, established on the basis of demographical parameters and, respectively, parameters, evaluating SC for PWD in the environment, as expressed by the respondents. For analysing statistically significant differences between groups, we used ANOVA, T-test and Spearman's correlation coefficient. Results: The test's average estimate of dementia-related knowledge was high (9,23 out of 12). The performed statistical analyses demonstrated no statistically significant differences in dementia-related knowledge among the compared groups, the only two exceptions being between respondents with different degrees of education and between the groups with different evaluations for levels of information support in their environment. While the first
