| Annotation | Between 2001 and 2003, some international expert working groups were established to examine various aspects of Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) with the intention of revising and refining it. During 2004-2005, the revised tool (DCM 8) was piloted in seven service settings in the UK and validated against DCM 7th edition. At a group score level, Well/Ill Being (WIB) scores and spread of Behavioural Category Codes were very similar, suggesting that group scores are comparable between DCM 7 and 8. Interviews with mappers and focus groups with staff teams suggested that DCM 8 was preferable to DCM 7th edition because of the clarification and simplification of the codes, the addition of a new code relevant to person-centred care, and the replacement of Positive Events with a more structural recording of Personal Enhancers. DCM 8 appears comparable with DCM 7th edition in terms of data produced and is well received by mappers and dementia care staff. (RH). |
