How does specialist dementia nursing work? A mixed methods study of UK Admiral Nursing

全世界约有4680万人患有痴呆症，预计到2050年这一数字将增加到1.315亿(1)。大多数痴呆症患者希望继续尽可能独立地生活在自己的家中。家庭照顾者的幸福和支持是实现这一目标的关键。英国最广泛采用的专科痴呆症护理模式(Admiral Nursing)旨在提供关系护理，重点是为家庭护理人员提供专家情感支持、指导和护理协调。这项奖学金将汇集英国痴呆症组织，这是第三部门组织，支持所有海军上将护士的专业和实践发展，拥有国家和国际学术和临床学术专业知识(通过伦敦大学阿尔茨海默氏症协会卓越中心和城市大学护理学院)。

Around 46.8 million people worldwide have dementia, and this is expected to increase to 131.5 million by 2050 (1). Most people with dementia want to continue living in their own homes as independently as possible. Family carer wellbeing and support is critical to enabling this. The most widely adopted model of specialist dementia nursing in the UK (Admiral Nursing) aims to deliver relational care, with an emphasis on providing family carers with expert emotional support, guidance and care coordination. This studentship would bring together Dementia UK, the third sector organisation that supports the professional and practice development of all Admiral Nurses, with national and international academic and clinical academic expertise (through the UCL Alzheimer's Society Centre of Excellence and City University School of Nursing).
