Barriers and facilitators to accessing support for people affected by rare dementias who are from culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse backgrounds

This study identified a lack of awareness of dementia within cultures as well as the wider community that was exacerbated by additional issues such as geographic, financial and gender disparities. Clinical care recommendations synthesised from the study results highlight a need to increase awareness of rare dementias within culturally diverse communities, as well as improving cultural competence within health and social care staff.

Abstract

This study identified a lack of awareness of dementia within cultures as well as the wider community that was exacerbated by additional issues such as geographic, financial and gender disparities. Clinical care recommendations synthesised from the study results highlight a need to increase awareness of rare dementias within culturally diverse communities, as well as improving cultural competence within health and social care staff.
