Project overview
This project will scope the content, design and potential usability of a practical guide for homecare workers when supporting people living at home with dementia who have continence-related needs. The guide aims to facilitate homecare workers in their conversations with people living with dementia and their family carers, specifically to:
• support communication
• promote independent toilet-use
• enhance continence care.
Funded by the NIHR Three Schools’ Dementia Research Programme, we will plan the development, evaluation and wide-scale implementation of usable, useful and acceptable bespoke continence care resources for homecare workers. Currently, there are no resources of this type specifically developed for this professional group.
A stakeholder group, comprising members with a wide range of experiences and professional backgrounds, including a range of lived experience from people living with dementia and their family carers, will provide feedback on the content, style and implementation of the proposed practical guide for homecare workers.
