This was to explore the experience of Assistants in Nursing being exposed to Dementia Care Mapping coupled with reflection to improve older residents care in a residential aged care facility.<br \/>\nDesign and Setting: A qualitative exploratory design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of Assistants in Nursing&nbsp; experience of creating new care for older residents using Dementia Care Mapping and feedback. The study was conducted in a dementia specific nursing home, located in urban Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.<br \/>\nSubjects: The study participants were ten Assistants in Nursing and five older residents diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia by a Physician.<br \/>\nResults: For the first time, the study illuminated the Assistants in Nursing innovative care following Dementia Care Mapping feedback and reflection. Their experience was highlighted in three major themes: (i) Reflecting on Care (ii) Creating a Caring Connection and (iii) Empathetic Communication.<br \/>\nConclusion: These Assistants in Nursing valued and used findings from Dementia Care Mapping feedback coupled with reflection to improve contemporary practice. In addition, they felt empowered to create new nursing strategies for quality care. The study highlighted the usefulness of providing Assistants in Nursing with these types of educational strategies to encourage the development of creative caring for residents with dementia living in a residential aged care facility.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Martha Manash<\/li>\n<li>Lyn Coulon<\/li>\n<li>Peter Brown<\/li>\n<li>Heather Reynolds<\/li>\n<li>Sarah Kissiwaa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>dementia, dementia care mapping, assistants in nursing, residents, residential aged care facilities, reflective practice<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Tailoring Dementia Care Mapping and Reflective Practice to empower Assistants in Nursing to provide&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4616,3988,4615,4140,4291,4617],"class_list":["post-7482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-assistants-in-nursing","tag-dementia","tag-dementia-care-mapping","tag-reflective-practice","tag-residential-aged-care-facilities","tag-residents","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
