Cultural Adaptation and Evaluation of the Namaste Care Program for Home-Dwelling People With Dementia and Their Caregivers : Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The Namaste Care program is a person-centered intervention that has been shown to improve the quality of life of people with dementia and to alleviate caregiver burden. However, its application in China remains underexplored. Given China's unique sociocultural norms, cultural adaptation is essential to ensure feasibility, acceptability, and contextual fit. Objective: The primary objective is to culturally adapt the Namaste Care Home Program to the Chinese community context. The secondary objective is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted program (qualitative analysis), and to explore its preliminary effects (quantitative analysis) on quality of life and related outcomes for people with dementia and their family caregivers. Methods: A 3-stage, 11-step mixed methods design is used in this study. The process includes a baseline stage for community assessment and stakeholder consultations, a formulation stage for adapting the intervention and training materials, and an execution and evaluation stage in which trained family caregivers deliver the intervention. A 1-group, pretest-posttest design will be used, with quantitative assessments at baseline (T0), immediately after intervention (T1), and at the 3-month follow-up (T2), complemented by qualitative process evaluations. Results: The study was approved in April 2025 (2025-NZY-4-01) and registered on April 18, 2025 (ChiCTR2500101042). Recruitment occurred from January to April 2025, enrolling 15 caregiver-people with dementia dyads. As of April 2025, baseline data collection is complete, and analysis is ongoing. Primary results are expected in mid-2026. Conclusions: The cultural adaptation of the Namaste Care Home Program is a critical step toward advancing person-centered, home-based dementia care in China. Findings will provide evidence on feasibility and cultural appropriateness and will inform the design of future large-scale trials to test effectiveness in cross-cultural settings.
