Challenges when measuring person-centred dementia care in nursing homes: a discussion paper.
Review in International journal of nursing studies advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The gold standard of person-centred dementia care in nursing homes is required by international guidelines. Nevertheless, the implementation of this approach remains challenging. Measurements designed to observe outcomes associated with the implemented intervention, assess the attitudes of relevant audiences, investigate the effectiveness of person-centred care interventions, and evaluate the extension of person-centred care implementation in long-term care practice are necessary to overcome these challenges. Nonetheless, capturing the core of person-centredness remains challenging in implementation and intervention studies. For this discussion paper, we conducted a literature search to address three different perspectives on the measurement of person-centred care in the context of its implementation into practice: (1) conceptual, (2) interventional, and (3) organizational perspectives. This paper aims to provide insights into measurements that have been used in dementia care research and to discuss the challenges that correspond with measuring person-centred dementia care in nursing homes. Based on the discussion, we provide recommendations for future measurements of person-centred care in the conclusion section. Our recommendations address key aspects that we deem necessary for an adequate person-centred care measurement in the future, including (1) a consensus on a definition of core elements of person-centred dementia care and the provision of adaptable person-centred dementia care-related concepts and (2) multidimensional, (3) multiperspective, and (4) multimethodological approaches that aim to capture the core and adaptable elements of person-centred care. All key aspects are consistent with and are influenced by the engagement of people living with dementia, their relatives, and relevant stakeholders as well as a continuous, transparent and joint dialogue on every key aspect.
