"I Hope That the People Caring for Me Know About Me": Exploring Person-Centred Care and the Quality of Dementia Care.
Article in Canadian geriatrics journal : CGJ, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Person-centred care is at the core of high-quality dementia care but people living with dementia are often excluded from quality improvement efforts. We sought to explore person-centred care and quality of care from the perspectives of persons living with dementia in the community and their care partners. Methods: We used a qualitative descriptive approach with in-person, semi-structured interviews with 17 participants (9 persons living with dementia and 8 care partners) from Ontario, Canada. Results: Participants report that person-centred care is essential to the quality of dementia care. Three themes were identified that describe connections between person-centred care and quality of care: 1) "I hope that the people looking after me know about me", 2) "I just like to understand [what's happening] as we go down the road", and 3) "But the doctor doesn't even know all the resources that are available." Participants perceived that quality indicators over-emphasized technical/medical aspects of care and do not entirely capture quality of care. Conclusions: Persons living with dementia and their care partners provide important insights into person-centredness and quality of care. Their perspectives on "quality" may differ from clinicians and researchers. Research is needed to better integrate their perspectives in quality improvement and person-centred care.
