The impact of early-stage dementia on community-dwelling care recipient/carer dyads' capacity to self-manage.
Gillian Stockwell-SmithWendy MoyleUrsula KellettPublished in: Journal of clinical nursing (2018)
Nurses play a significant role in advising and supporting care recipient/carer dyads with dementia, and a better understanding of the dyadic perspective provides them with essential information to support self-management. A proactive approach including information and support, offered at the beginning of the condition/care trajectory, may have the potential to delay progression into more dependent stages.
