How do family carers assist people with dementia? A qualitative observation study of daily tasks
Our findings suggest carers employ different approaches when assisting people with dementia with daily tasks. Knowledge of these different modes of assistance could help Occupational Therapists and researchers understand what works well and what could be changed to facilitate the participation of people with dementia in daily activities.
