Most-cited papers in Dementia

Participatory research

Jan Dewing · 1 Feb 2007

Consent theoretically threads through the whole qualitative research method, so getting this right can set the tone for person-centred relationships between researcher and participants. However, most attention has been given in the UK to cognitively biased informed consent and to consent taking place at the beginning of projects; and in North America to assent or…

Qualitative research explores carers' experiences of positive aspects of caregiving in rich detail which lends itself to supporting theory development. The aim of the present review was to…

Development of a conceptual framework of positive aspects of caregiving in dementia

Hélène Carbonneau, Chantal Caron, Johanne Desrosiers · 1 Aug 2010

Research on family caregivers usually focuses more on stress and burden, especially in the context of looking after a person with dementia. This leads to fewer considerations of positive aspects of caregiving. Thus enhancing these positive aspects represents an innovative approach to caregivers’ support. Furthermore, these aspects need more conceptualization to underpin the development of…
