Cultural Adaptation and Evaluation of the Namaste Care Program for Home-Dwelling People With Dementia and Their Caregivers : Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
The cultural adaptation of the Namaste Care Home Program is a critical step toward advancing person-centered, home-based dementia care in China. Findings will provide evidence on feasibility and cultural appropriateness and will inform the design of future large-scale trials to test effectiveness in cross-cultural settings.
