Why do staff and family think differently about quality of life in dementia? A qualitative study exploring perspectives in care homes
2019
International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
Quality of life is important especially in incurable illness. In dementia, we often need proxy reports of quality of life, but we know little about how individuals make their judgements. In care homes, proxies may be staff providing care or relatives, but staff rate quality of life differently to family. To our knowledge, no one has explored this qualitatively, so we used qualitative interviews to explore why staff and family think differently about quality of life.
