|
This study analyzes the contents of and trends in nursing research on dementia and suggests directions for future research in this field. We analyzed papers published in five nursing journals as well as master theses and doctoral dissertations in the period from January 2000 to December 2012. Of the studies analyzed, 172 were related to dementia. The descriptive design was the most frequently used study design. The topics most frequently studied were related physical and physiological variables in elderly adults with dementia and psycho-social variables in caregivers. Only 43 studies were experimental ones. In the future, meta-analysis of intervention studies for elderly with dementia, various nursing intervention researches for elderly with dementia, including education nursing intervention and tai-chi exercise, and studies targeting the elderly with dementia nursing care providers will be needed.
