| Annotation | This study aimed to generate an internationally applicable framework for the systematic assessment of the quality of life impacts of services and policies for people with dementia and their family carers. Qualitative analyses of text were conducted at open groups at six consecutive Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) Conferences (1999-2005) lasting between 1.5 and 2 hours. Data were: presenters' texts, transcribed points made during discussion and written contributions. Participants were 312 contributors of text. From 2246 chunks of text, eight interacting domains relating to quality of life emerged: Public Attitudes and Understanding; Government and Social Policy; Funding for Services; Health; Communication; Choice and Personhood; Environment; and Quality of Care leading to the development of the Stroud/ADI Dementia Quality Framework. In conclusion, the Stroud/ADI Dementia Quality Framework helps to structure assessment of the quality of life impacts of population level approaches in dementia. Information available can be mapped onto the framework. With its international approach, the Stroud/ADI Dementia Quality Framework has validity across cultures within and between countries. It is intended as a useful aid for the assessment of services and policies for people with dementia and their family carers. (KJ/RH). |
