Dementia Care in Nursing



June 2012 | 184 pages | Learning Matters
Dementia care presents a huge challenge to health and social care both now and in the future. The number of those in the UK with dementia is expected to increase to 1.4 million in the next 30 years. Regardless of the field of nursing, all nurses need to understand the experiences of a person with dementia and the issues related to their care. This book provides an introduction to dementia care for nursing students with an emphasis on humanizing care. Real life case studies show the person behind the patient and explore the ethical dilemmas that a nurse may face.

I have already recommended this book as a starter text to a group of HCA's I recently taught and I will be placing the book on the reading list for my Dementia Care modules both L4 and L6.

Part of the transforming Nursing practice series. Recommended for students in line with Dementia content for module. Good use of case studies and full of useful resources and websites which should be accessed by the student. ideal for raising awareness of the issues around caring for dementia patients. Can be easily transferred into clinical practice.

This is an excellent book that gives great insight into the care of patients with dementia.
It is useful additional reading for those working in end of life care though it does not address this topic in any specific detail.
