Dementia care management in primary care practices: a descriptive study among nurse practitioners
Given the projected growth in the number of patients with dementia and the growing workforce of NPs worldwide, policy and practice efforts should be directed toward strengthening primary care practices to provide quality care for dementia patients. Bolstering NP workforce capacity and supporting NP roles in dementia care could improve organizational capacity to provide dementia care. However, widespread burnout among NPs found in our study could undermine their contribution to the dementia care workforce.
