The validity of the Meaning in Life in Persons with Dementia Questionnaire (MIND)
Despite sample limitations, our findings suggest that the MIND questionnaire is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing meaning in life among nursing home residents with dementia. Its integration into clinical practice may support more individualized, person-centered care. Future research should explore its utility in diverse cultural and care settings, as well as its longitudinal sensitivity to change.
