| Annotation | General practitioners (GPs) are usually the first contact in the health care system for people with dementia and their family caregivers. This paper provides a synopsis of research findings and knowledge gaps regarding interactions among these participants in the health care triad: primary care physicians, family caregivers, and those with dementia. Research traditions that inform knowledge about health care triads and dementia include: older patient-physician relationships; the stress-coping social support health model that dominate family caregiver research; the social learning self-efficacy model; and literature on the quality of medical care. An integrative framework is presented to illustrate how the quality of interaction in dementia care encounters may be influenced by specific characteristics of the health care triad. (RH). |
