尊重一个人作出选择和参与决策的权利通常被视为生活质量和福祉的核心。然而，当一个人搬进住宅老年护理设施（RACF）时，决策变得更加复杂，特别是如果这个人被诊断患有痴呆症。关于RACF的工作人员如何看待他们在日常实践中支持痴呆症患者的决策，我们知之甚少，本文旨在解决这一知识差距。文章报道了在澳大利亚维多利亚州和昆士兰州进行的一项定性研究的结果，有80名直接护理人员。研究结果显示，参与者在支持痴呆症患者决策的意图中使用了许多策略，并且总体上认为“一点点努力就能走很长的路”。
Respect for a person’s right to make choices and participate in decision making is generally seen as central to quality of life and well-being. When a person moves into a residential aged care facility (RACF), however, decision making becomes more complicated, particularly if the person has a diagnosis of dementia. Little is known about how staff in RACFs perceive that they support decision making for people with dementia within their everyday practice, and this article seeks to address this knowledge gap. The article reports on the findings of a qualitative study conducted in the states of Victoria and Queensland, Australia with 80 direct care staff members. Findings revealed that the participants utilized a number of strategies in their intention to support decision making for people with dementia, and had an overall perception that “a little effort goes a long way.”
