This book looks at the role nurses play when working with people who have dementia and their relatives. Dementia Care Nursing is a fascinating insight into the field, which outlines approaches that may be used by nurses within practice and provides advice on how dementia care may be developed and enhanced.
'..provides a welcome focus on aspects of dementia care that are frequently neglected...suitable for students on pre-registration undergraduate nursing programmes and required reading for undergraduate and postgraduate nursing courses relating specifically to dementia care and/or care of the older person..a suitable toolkit for practitioners wishing to engage in thoughtful evidence-based dementia care practice' - Louise Daly, Nurse Education Today
'This text does make substantial leaps forward in developing theory about dementia care nursing, moving away from polarised approaches to a broader whole systems approach. [It] should succeed in its aim of contributing towards a new understanding of dementia care nursing. Dementia Care Nursing should be essential reading for all nursing involved in care of people with dementia, and an essential item on reading lists for nursing education.' - Margot Lindsay, London Centre for Dementia Care
'...this is a valuable resource for nurses wishing to critically consider their approach to working with people with dementia and their families.' - Jenny La Fontaine The Journal of DementiaCare
'The style of the book is accessible and easy to read, while being grounded in theory...this is a very useful book that could inspire and guide good practice, not just among nurses but other caregivers too.' - Ros Levenson, Mental Health Today
'This is an excellent addition to the emergent canon of texts that are mapping out the role of the mental health nurse in dementia care and it is highly recommended.' - Mental Health Practice
