| Annotation | Since the person-centred care revolution, social psychological factors that contribute to cognitive decline have been recognised. Increasingly, having an understanding of the person with dementia's experience is now seen as an important element of care. One approach that has been neglected in the research is whether the person-centred care revolution has resulted in a change in attitudes from the service providers. This research investigated the attitudes of service users and service providers towards dementia services using an interpretive phenomenological analysis. The analysis suggests that service user themes include personal understanding of the illness, staff members, nature of support, and limitations to services. Service provider themes focused on appropriate staff members, approach to dementia, personalisation, support, and constraints to provision. The discussion outlines the similarities in the themes, practical implications, limitations and the direction of future research. (RH). |
