| Annotation | A study of dignity indicators for older people exposes the factors that undermine provision of sensitive care. The study, 'Measuring dignity in care for older people', by Helen Magee, Suzanne Parsons and Janet Askham, was published by the Picker Institute Europe for Help the Aged. The authors reviewed qualitative research exploring older people's perceptions of dignified care in care homes, hospitals and home care, to develop indicators of dignity in personal care. This article assesses the study's objectives, methodology, findings and recommendations, which it is suggested should be part of the early work by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The full report plus appendices is available via the Help the Aged website (at www.helptheaged.org.uk/policy). (RH) |
