“…This work has paved the way for increased critical attention on older woman. For example, there has been research into older women's contribution to civic society (McHugh ), and work on the role of older women as ‘transmitters of values’ (Quéniart & Charpentier ). However, little attention has been paid to older women with dementia within this area of feminist enquiry, as a dementia diagnosis tends to exclude people from mainstream ageing studies.…”

What is known about this topic• Gender is a neglected dimension in public discourse about dementia.• Gender is a key factor structuring the lives of those living with dementia.• There are gender differences in the care-giving experience. What this paper adds• A critical review of the research literature on gender differences in dementia care from a feminist citizenship perspective.• Insights into the gaps in the research literature.• Recommendations as to how policy makers can incorporate gender into national plans. AbstractGender is a neglected dimension in public discourse related to people with dementia. Those living with this condition are typically portrayed in policies and strategies in gender neutral terms as 'people with dementia' and 'family carers' as if gender does not matter, when clearly it does. The purpose of this scoping review was to take stock of knowledge about gender differences in relation to dementia care to inform policy and future research. The work is grounded in a feminist perspective to citizenship, as this provide a lens with which to expose and examine gendered assumptions within dementia studies. A search of four databases, including CINAHL, Web of Science, Medline and Cochrane was conducted using systematic techniques between May and July 2014. A repeat search was conducted in February 2015. We found a significant amount of valuable research concerned with gender differences in relation to dementia care published from 1990 to 2014; the majority of which lacks a feminist citizenship perspective. Moreover, a disproportionate number of studies focused solely on caregivers rather than citizens with dementia. As such, questions about gender equality are not being raised and the voices of men and women with dementia are silent. Thus we argue for increased gender-sensitivity in policy making and recommend that social scientists inject a feminist citizenship perspective into their work.

“…In the research, however, transmission is analyzed through intergenerational relationships within the family or public space, whether from the standpoint of values (e.g., policies) and practices (music, reading, etc.) that are passed down from one generation to another, or from the standpoint of the up‐and‐coming generation (e.g., in feminist groups or unions) . The transmission of altruistic values is a subject that has attracted little study, and in the case of blood donation, none at all.…”

Our results point to two kinds of families: in the first type, blood donation has been an integral "part of life" for generations and we can observe a process of transmission--a set of practices that encompasses imitation or modeling. In the second type of family, the act of donating blood was perceived and defined as an individual one, in the sense of personal, and sometimes even as a private gesture: a majority of young donors started giving at their colleges' blood drives without discussing it with their families.

Background:Whole person care is appropriate for seriously ill persons. The current framework of palliative care domains in the National Consensus Project (NCP) Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care offers an opportunity to reassess the domains of care delivered at home, earlier in the course of illness.Objective:This qualitative study was used to test the applicability of a proposed, expanded set of domains. The results were used to inform a home-based, upstream model of supportive care for serious illness.Methods:Quotes relating to the experience of late-life serious illness were derived from transcripts of 12 semi-structured group interviews conducted with patients, family, and professionals. Quotes originally coded to the NCP domains of palliative care were then coded to the proposed domain set, which included new categories of family/caregiver, legal/financial, and legacy/bereavement domains.Results:A total of 489 quotes were assigned to the proposed expanded set of domains. One hundred one (19%) coded to the family/caregiver domain, 28 (5%) to the legacy/bereavement domain, and 27 (5%) to the legal/financial domain. Ninety-seven (87%) of the 111 quotes coded to family/caregiver had been initially coded to the NCP social aspects of care. Family/caregiver themes included challenges, rewards, insights, and family growth.Conclusion:The preponderance of family-related issues suggests that including the family domain may promote recognition and support of family caregivers and the services they provide. Although this study provides some support for including the legacy/bereavement and legal/financial domains, additional research is needed to determine whether there is a basis for including them in the domain structure.
