目得：本文的目的是报告如何评估工具最初开发的老年痴呆症友好城市进行了试点测试的背景下，老年痴呆症友好社区（DFC）倡议的城市谢菲尔德/英国。它提出了发现和输出上，其他社区与痴呆症友好agenda.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH：原来的评估工具进行了调整，以专注于痴呆症友好。数据收集涉及范围对话，文件分析，访谈和小组讨论。证据评估后，谢菲尔德的痴呆友好的方法进行了评估。一个当地的指导小组是中央的study.FINDINGS：证据表明，在谢菲尔德的痴呆友好的方法的优势领域：老年人的参与;提供服务;合作;监测和评估。围绕资源分配和使用现有的痴呆症友好指南确定了改进的范围。对政策和实践的建议包括加强资源的汇集，更详细地记录分配给痴呆症相关活动的资源，以及收集有关受痴呆症影响的人如何塑造该市DFC倡议的证据。关键的研究成果是一个适应性强的逻辑模型和一个新兴的评估框架DFCs.RESEARCH限制/含义：这项研究是一个短期的试点有限的资源。其调查结果和产出必须被视为初步的。原创性/价值：调查结果和产出为进一步研究提供了基础。该研究提出了发展筹资委员会评价框架的关键组成部分。它正在为制定这样一个框架的持续工作提供信息。
PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to report how an evaluation tool originally developed for Age-Friendly Cities was pilot-tested in the context of the Dementia Friendly Community (DFC) initiative of the city of Sheffield/UK. It presents finding and outputs on which other communities with dementia friendly agendas can draw.DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The original evaluation tool was adapted to a focus on dementia friendliness. Data collection involved scoping conversations, documentary analysis, interviews and group discussions. Following evidence appraisal, Sheffield's approach to dementia friendliness was assessed. A local steering group was central to the study.FINDINGS: The evidence indicates areas of strength in Sheffield's approach to dementia friendliness: involvement of older people; service provision; collaboration; monitoring and evaluation. Scope for improvement was identified around resource allocation, and use of existing guidance on dementia friendliness. Recommendations for policy and practice include enhancing pooling of resources, more detailed recording of resources allocated to dementia-related activity, and collection of evidence on how people affected by dementia have shaped the city's DFC initiative. Key research outputs are an adaptable logic model and an emerging evaluation framework for DFCs.RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: The study was a short pilot with limited resources. Its findings and outputs must be considered preliminary.ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The findings and outputs provide a basis for further research. The study has suggested key components of an evaluation framework for DFCs. It is informing ongoing work to develop such a framework.
