Considering culture and ethnicity in family-centred dementia care at the end of life : a case study

Article indépendant

MOUNTFORD, Wendy | DENING, Karen Harrison

BACKGROUND: The UK older population is becoming increasingly ethnically diverse, with a projected eight-fold increase in dementia among black, Asian and minority ethnic communities over the next 30 years, compared with a two-fold increase in white British people with dementia. AIMS: This Admiral Nurse case study explores an understanding of culture and ethnic background in families' experiences of dementia and caring using a culturagram assessment framework. FINDINGS: The culturagram enabled a more comprehensive assessment, so that care delivery was sensitive to the specific cultural and ethnicity issues in a relationship-centred approach to dementia care. CONCLUSION: An understanding of the cultural influences in light of a diagnosis of dementia were essential in developing a care package that met the needs of all family members.
