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.

This is a good text that encourgaes active engagement by the student. It does not fullfill the essential requirements of the unit, but I would recommend it as a part of wider reading.

I liked this book because of the links to the NMC and the new standard of nurse education. Easy to read and direct links made to the new standards.

This is well set out book aimed mainly at student nurses. It follows the domains and essential skills for the new student nurse programme.
There are plenty of interactive activities and reflection points thoughout. The case studies are also progressive allowing theory to be integrated into the text.

as we are introducing the new NMC undergraduate nursing curriculum in september , this book is essential as it is designed to assist students to meet the NMC standards regardless ,of their field. it will also be valuable to health and social work undergraduates. I'll include the text in the reading list. I 'll recommend it to our learning resource centre.

a valuable text designed to assist learners to appreciate the importance of providing humanised person centred care to older people experiencing dementia. Through life case studies and patient real stories ,a very useful learning tool, will enable students to link theory to practice.
