Introduction: Approximately 56,000 individuals with dementia were admitted to Canadian hospitals in 2016, and 75% of them experience responsive behaviors. Responsive behaviors are words or actions used to express one's needs (e.g., wandering, yelling, hitting, and restlessness). Health-care professionals perceive these behaviors to be a challenging aspect in providing care for persons with dementia. Aims: This study explores the perceptions of nurses about (a) caring for older adults with dementia experiencing responsive behaviors in acute medical settings and (b) recommendations to improve dementia care. Methods: Thorne's interpretive description approach was used. In-person, semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 nurses and 5 allied health professionals from acute medical settings in an urban hospital in Ontario. Interviews were conducted with allied health professionals to understand their perspectives regarding care delivery for persons with responsive behaviors of dementia. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's experiential thematic analysis. Findings: Themes related to caring for individuals with responsive behaviors included (a) delivering care is a complex experience, (b) using pharmacological strategies and low investment nonpharmacological strategies to support older adults with responsive behaviors, (c) acute medical settings conflicted with principles of dementia care due to a focus on acute care priorities and limited time, and (d) strong interprofessional collaboration and good continuity of care were facilitators for care. Conclusions: Findings provide guidance for improved support for nurses who provide care for individuals experiencing responsive behaviors in acute medical settings such as increasing staffing and providing educational reinforcements (e.g., annual review of dementia care education and in-services).

Introduction The acute care setting is not ideal for older people with dementia; responsive behaviours may be triggered when care is delivered within a strange environment by staff with limited knowledge of life history and personal preferences. Responsive behaviours (e.g., yelling, hitting, restlessness) are used by older people with dementia to communicate their needs and concerns. It is unknown whether non-pharmacological approaches used by nurses support the development of a meaningful interpersonal relationship between nurses and older people with dementia. Aims: The aims of this study were to explore: (a) the types of low investment non-pharmacological approaches (e.g., music, social activities) used by nurses caring for older people experiencing responsive behaviours of dementia in acute medical settings and (b) the factors that influence the decisions of these nurses to implement these approaches. Methods We present a qualitative secondary analysis of data from a primary study using Thorne’s interpretive description approach. Interviews were conducted with 11 nurses and four allied health professionals from acute medical settings in Canada. A qualitative secondary data analytic approach was used, specifically analytic expansion, and experiential thematic analysis. Findings: egardless of the educational preparation of nurses, the decision to use specific types of low investment non-pharmacological approaches were influenced by the perfunctory development of the interpersonal relationships in acute care hospitals. The factors that led nurses to use limited approaches (e.g., turning on the TV and providing a newspaper) were lack of dementia care education and attending to other acutely ill clients. Conclusions: This study revealed that nurses in acute medical settings require greater practice growth to deliver relational care which is crucial to supporting older people with dementia. Nurses need education and knowledge translation support to use creative low investment non-pharmacological approaches with the intent on upholding the quality of life older people with dementia.
