Integrating Creative Approaches to Dementia Care Into Nursing Programmes: Findings From an International Qualitative Study.
Article in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe literature suggests that the use of creative methods (e.g., art, theatre, and music) in the care of older people can promote interactions and positive experiences. However, there are no studies that have explored the perspectives of nursing programmes internationally regarding their inclusion in the curriculum. Therefore, to expand knowledge from a multinational perspective, this study explored (a) the views and perceptions and (b) the potential barriers to the inclusion of creative approaches in nursing education in the development of competences for the care of people with dementia.
methodsA qualitative descriptive study according to the Consolidated criteria for Reporting Qualitative research checklist. Semi-structured face-to-face and focus group interviews with a purposive sample of 79 participants in four countries (Finland, Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands). Participants were nursing students (n = 32), educators/professors (n = 17), healthcare professionals (n = 13), family members (n = 8), policy makers (n = 6), and people with dementia (n = 3). The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsViews, perceptions, and barriers/advantages related to creative approaches were summarised into four themes: (a) Being already familiar with creative approaches; (b) Perceiving their potentialities; (c) Bolstering the personalised approach in nursing education; and (d) Ensuring preparedness and support.
conclusionsThe inclusion of creative approaches in nursing education appears to be both mature and desired by stakeholders at the international level, given their diverse potentialities. These approaches are also seen as an excellent way to improve the teaching of personalised care. However, resources as well as a particular attitude and the ability of professors to act as role models are required.
