Caregiver Attitudes, Motivations and Care Quality in Residential Memory Care: a Scoping Review Protocol.
Review in Canadian geriatrics journal : CGJ, 2026. 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 motivations and attitudes of caregivers strongly influence the care they provide. Motivation is also a central component in staff retention and care consistency, whereas attitude shapes delivery and degree of person-centeredness in care. Although caregiver attitudes and motivations have been examined separately in dementia care research, these constructs have not been comprehensively mapped together within residential memory care settings or explicitly linked to care quality. Objective: This review aims to assess literature pertaining to attitudes and motivations of formal caregivers in residential dementia care facilities and to examine how these constructs are associated with care quality. This review seeks to generate practical insights to inform workforce training and recruitment strategies to support high-quality, person-centered dementia care. Inclusion Criteria: Literature focused on the attitudes and motivations of formally employed caregivers providing care to residents in a residential memory care setting. Studies published of any design, from any year, country, or language will be considered. Method: This scoping review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) method. A comprehensive search will be conducted across major health, social science, and interdisciplinary databases, along with grey literature sources. Data will be extracted according to a JBI template informed by three theoretical frameworks: the Tripartite Model of Attitudes, the Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis, and Person-Centered Care. Results will be reported in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Registration: Open Science Framework https://osf.io/8yrge.
