| Annotation | Hen keeping is growing in popularity, and some 700,000 people in the UK look after poultry in their back gardens. The authors report on a qualitative pilot study which obtained the opinions of three staff members working in 24 hour dementia care settings about the use of hens in dementia care. The project also investigated the potential mechanisms of change underpinning the approach. Using Kitwood's 1997 person-centred care theory to underpin the study, the Hen Keeping and Creativity in Dementia Care Framework was derived. (RH). |
