Meaningful connections promote the quality of life of people living with advanced dementia in nursing homes. However, evidence internationally suggests people living with advanced dementia in nursing homes spend the majority of time alone, with little contact with anyone. Frontline care workers are in powerful positions to meaningfully engage with residents, yet research to date has not focused on their experiences. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of nursing home staff, specifically, what care workers feel enables them to meaningfully engage with residents living with advanced dementia.

以身作则：疗养院工作人员体验什么有助于他们与患有晚期痴呆症的居民进行有意义的互动

有意义的联系提高了疗养院中晚期痴呆症患者的生活质量。然而，国际上的证据表明，在疗养院中患有晚期痴呆症的人大部分时间都是独处，很少与任何人接触。一线护理人员在与居民进行有意义的互动方面处于有利地位，但迄今为止的研究并未关注他们的经历。本研究的目的是探索疗养院工作人员的经历，特别是护理人员的感受，使他们能够与患有晚期痴呆症的居民进行有意义的接触。
