- Abstract:
- Background: The care for individuals with dementia, primarily provided at home mostly by female informal caregivers, poses significant challenges. In many cases caregiver overburden leads to a nursing home transmission, which can result in poor quality of life, expants healthcare costs and increases physical, psychological and family strains. In an effort to understand which factors and experiences during the decision-making process may modulate the decision, a meta-ethnography approach was used to gain insight in this complex process. Aim: To find explanations on how future interventions and policy making can support home care for individuals with dementia and how the decision making process can effectively supported to decrease emotionally and physically burdens.
