What is Dementia Care From the Voice of People with Dementia about their Needs in the Chinese Society

In Hong Kong, the medical gaze and the stigmatization of dementia have been thoroughly influenced by the region’s sociocultural environment, in which providing physical and tangible care to people with dementia is preferred over attending to their psychological needs. As a result, their subjective views on and feelings about their conditions and care have been neglected, which has only further silenced their voices. Regarding the concept of person-centred care, there is an urge to understand more about the experience and perception of people with dementia about their needs. To guide the research, interpretivism and thematic analysis were adopted as frameworks in applying participatory observations, in-depth interviews and other qualitative methods.
