“…The promotion of PWA personhood and cognitive stimulation and activation requires the participation of diverse experts (e.g., nurses, doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists, healthcare assistants, and other healthcare professionals), each one with the know-how necessary to attend to the multifaceted aspects of Alzheimer's disease [20,83]. Social networks configuration emerging in the current study provide some hint that centralized geriatric care, although based on pivotal senior and expert figures, might not provide rapid response in clinical conditions of novelty, emergence, and rapid deterioration of PWA [66] where in these last conditions (centralized knowledge management), and immediate consultation and information might not be available, for instance, in decentralized geriatric units, night shifts, community work and for 'peripheral workers', PWA are at risk for safety and health [66].…”

Introduction: Understanding the social networks of professionals in psychiatric hospitals and communities working with persons with Alzheimer’s (PWA) disease helps tackle the flow of knowledge in patient care and the centrality of team members in providing information and advice to colleagues. Objectives: To use Social Network Analysis (SNA) to confirm or reject the hypothesis that psychiatric professionals have equal status in sharing information and advice on the care of PWA and have reciprocal ties in a social network. Methods: The sample consisting of 50 psychiatric professionals working in geriatric psychiatry in the UK completed an anonymous online survey asking them to select the professional categories of the colleagues in the interprofessional team who are most frequently approached when providing or receiving advice about patient care and gathering patient information. SNA is both a descriptive qualitative analysis and a quantitative method that investigates the degree of the prestige of professionals in their working network and the reciprocity of their ties with other team members. Findings: The social network graphs and numerical outcomes showed that interprofessional teams in geriatric psychiatry have health carers who play central roles in providing the whole team with the knowledge necessary for patient care; these are primarily senior professionals in nursing and medical roles. However, the study reported that only 13% of professionals had reciprocal ties within teams. Conclusion: The current research findings show that the impact of psychiatric health carers in interprofessional teams caring for PWA is not evenly distributed. Those with apparently higher seniority and experience are more frequently consulted; however, other more peripheral figures can be equally valuable in integrated care.

“…Therefore, the promotion of personhood and cognitive stimulation and activation all require the participation of diverse experts ( e.g ., nurses, doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists, healthcare assistants, and other healthcare professionals) each one with the know-how necessary to attend to the multifaceted aspects of Alzheimer’s disease [19, 20]. World Health Organization defines collaborative practice as the activity of several healthcare professionals from diverse specializations who collaborate to deliver wide-ranging services to convey the best treatment to common patients [21].…”

Background:Little is known on investigating how healthcare teams in dementia wards act for promoting personhood in persons with Alzheimer’s disease (PWA).Objective:The current research aimed to identify the social networks of dementia health carers promoting the personhood of PWA in acute or long-term dementia wards in public and private psychiatric hospitals.Methods:We used a mixed-method research approach. Ethnographic observations and two-mode Social Network Analysis (SNA) captured the role and social networks of healthcare professionals promoting PWA personhood, using SocNetv version 2.4. The social network graphs illustrated how professionals participated in PWA care by computing the degree of centrality (%DC) for each professional; higher values indicated more statistical significance of a professional role compared to others in the provision of personhood care. The categories of personhood were biological, individual, and sociologic. Nurses, doctors, ward managers, hospital managers, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, care coordinators, physiotherapists, healthcare assistants, and family members were observed if they were promoting PWA personhood.Results:The highest %DC in SNA in biological personhood was held by the ward nurses (36%), followed by the ward doctors (20%) and ward managers (20%). All professional roles were involved in 16% of cases in the promotion of individual personhood, while the hospital managers had the highest %DC (33%) followed by the ward managers and nurses (27%) in the sociologic personhood.Conclusion:All professional roles were deemed to promote PWA personhood in dementia wards, although some limitation exists according to the context of the assessment.
