| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the concept of dignity and to discover the type of care that is needed to support the self-esteem of people afflicted with dementia (PWD). The researchers reviewed the past decade of research conducted in the healthcare field on the notion of dignity.We used a free questionnaire to survey care professionals with regard to their care practices that support dignity; 55 items related to their care practices were deemed applicable.The study was accomplished using the Delphi method to obtain a sense of the type of care practices that were appropriate to preserve the dignity of a PWD. This method made a degree of consensus possible by having experts answer the same questionnaire twice. To visually clarify the findings, the descriptive responses to the above-mentioned questionnaire were analyzed through correspondence analysis. The results revealed that the notion of dignity differed in the content of the responses from people of different occupations.
