Abstract Background Systematic reviews summarize and evaluate relevant studies to contribute evidence-based practice. Internationally, researchers have reached a consensus that the active involvement of public leads better research. Despite this agreement, there are many research concerning healthcare interventions intended promote care people living with dementia those from their social network (e.g., close contacts, both family non-family members) primarily involve only professionals other experts. Due lack dementia-sensitive framework actively network, as co-researchers in systematic reviews, it is important develop inform Methods For development process, we will recruit four total three working acute or long-term settings.

Abstract Background Improving quality of nursing home care for residents is a constant focus stakeholders involved within improvement projects. Though, achieving change in long-term challenging. Process evaluations provide insight into the nature, exposure and experiences influencing mechanisms implementation. The aim this study to gain process facilitating hindering implementing project that seeks create dementia-friendly community with at its core. Methods For evaluation we planned case design an ethnographic approach. Various research methods were used: qualitative observations, groups, interviews questionnaires various document review. Data collection analyses based on Consolidated Framework Implementation Research. Results Four main lessons learned. Firstly, staff are crucial achieve more freedom residents. Secondly, high-impact changes daily need strong sustainable from organisation. Thirdly, societies should be deployed multiple actors, which entails collaborations external stakeholders. Fourthly, transition society requires meeting spaces both people community. Consequently, local shifting internal stakeholders, extending beyond regular involvement informal carers volunteers home. Conclusions Nursing homes part opportunities collaborate society. However, required (promoting freedom, residents’ autonomy redesign processes) complex influenced by mechanisms. Understanding these can benefit other organisations strive implement similar initiative.
