Abstract

This study aimed to examine the actual state of awareness regarding care that respects individuality for elderly persons with dementia, as well as its implementation and influencing factors. The subjects were 250 care providers from 32 facilities who were recruited from the 329 group homes across Japan and consented to participate in this study. The subjects completed questionnaire surveys with 14 items that, according to a previous study, indicate care that respects individuality. The results revealed that while there is ample awareness for all 14 survey items regarding care that respects individuality, its implementation was significantly low. It appears to be that years of experience with dementia care influences four of 14 survey items and numbers of training times influences one of 14 survey items.
