Description

<p>Older people with dementia have different personalities, and it is important to focus on “Humanitude,” which help them live better and to provide care that brings out the patientʼs own abilities.　The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the effectiveness of “Humanitude” care for older people with dementia.　The search was restricted to articles. The search terms were “dementia,” “communication,” “humanitude” and “care.”　The literature extracted from 2014 to 2022 included from Ichushi 66, CiNii 7, and Google Scholar 147 articles.　After screening for research content, 7 references were selected for this literature review.　One quantitative study and seven case studies were included.　All articles demonstrated the potential for Humanitate to have a positive effect on dementia patients and their caregivers.　However, all extracted studies were case reports.　Randomized controlled trials are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of “Humanitude” for people with dementia and their caregivers.</p>
