Menschen mit Demenz zwischen Häuslichkeit und Kurzzeitpflege: Qualitätssicherung settingübergreifender Kommunikation, ein systematischer Review

Abstract

To identify safety-relevant communication structures and processes considering the handover between home and respite care for people with dementia (PwD). In a systematic review, MEDLINE, -EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO and GeroLit were searched for publications indexed until April 2011 including a search via Google and Google scholar. An update for publications indexed between May 2011 and December 2012 was added. A total of 1 832 search results were identified and one relevant publication of a project for PwD to improve the handover between settings was included. With regard to that project, additional literature was identified. The practice-based project identified through the literature search could be suitable to improve handover communication between home and respite care for PwD after further validation. A large gap in the evidence with regard to the research question was identified.
