Overview
Both Hebrew SeniorLife’s Institutional Review Board (IRB; the IRB of record during data collection and data coding) and VA Boston Healthcare System’s IRB (the IRB of record during subsequent analysis of de-identified data) ruled this qualitative study protocol to be of minimal risk and thus exempt from further IRB review. The latter organization’s Research and Development Committee, however, maintained oversight of the protocol.
Setting and Participants
Interview participants were health care providers recruited from a variety of community-based (e.g., adult day center, outpatient memory care clinic, independent housing) and long-term care (e.g., assisted living facility, continuing care retirement community) settings in the Greater Boston area. Participants were eligible for the study if they worked directly with persons living with dementia and were eligible even if they did not report having a spiritual or religious affiliation. We purpos...

Mean interview duration was 40 min (range: 22–59 min). Interview sessions began with participants completing a brief demographics form. Subsequent...

The emergent themes and subthemes shed light on several types of intervention implications: the “what,” “who,” and “when” of dementia-focused spiritual care (see Table 3for the thematic structure with types of intervention implicatio...
This qualitative study gathered health care providers’ views on salient spiritual needs in dementia. We found that the salient elements of spiritual experience in dementia are hard for individuals to mitigate independently and that spiritual distress may be particularly salient with self-awareness, making early stages of dementia a vital time to in...

Nov 15, 2022 · Our findings suggest that supporting spirituality is included as part of nursing care for older people in home care and long‐term care settings. We suggest that supporting spirituality is implemented individually, respecting the way in which each older person living with dementia expresses their spirituality and through which elements it manifests.
