The purpose of this study was to carry out a literature review on the effectiveness of the validation method (VM) in job satisfaction and motivation of care professionals working with older people in nursing homes. The review was carried out in specialised databases: Scopus, PsychINFO, PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), Google Scholar, Scielo, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 9046 results were obtained, out of which a total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria: five quantitative, four qualitative, one single case series, two quasi-experimental and two mixed methods studies. The results of the analysed studies report that the VM can be an effective tool that facilitates communication and interaction in care, reducing levels of stress and job dissatisfaction among care professionals. The VM facilitates communication between professionals and older people with dementia, and improves the management of complex situations that may arise in care, directly influencing a reduction in work stress and increasing job satisfaction.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic brings challenges to patient partnerships in research. In-person research meetings with patient partners were prohibited. In this presentation, we outline specific issues we encountered in a patient-led dementia research project, which involved a literature review study and gathering community stakeholders to identify the top 10 local priorities in the development of a dementia-friendly community. We will describe how we found shared solutions to complete the project. In response to COVID, computers and training were provided for patient partners to maintain team connection, plan project activities, conduct team analysis, and host a community workshop in the lockdown time. The drastic shift to virtual research methods created barriers and opportunities for co-research with older people with dementia. Virtual meetings can generate inequities for those who do not have a computer and knowledge in videoconferencing. Practical strategies to overcome barriers to using virtual technologies will be explored.

There is increasing recognition that the organisation of health care into specialist areas of practice can be counterproductive for older people with multiple morbidities and that dementia can raise particular challenges in health care. In the context of treatment for chronic kidney disease, these challenges concern complex decisions about the suitability and efficacy of dialysis and other treatments. This article draws on a literature review to present a psychosocial perspective on these decisions. It considers the value of the concept of ‘dementia friendliness’ for nephrology practice and suggests how this could provide a valuable frame of reference for the multidisciplinary nephrology team to ensure they are best equipped to work with people living with dementia and their carers and to ensure that the individual patient is truly at the centre of their treatment regime.
