Caregiver-involved reminiscence for persons with dementia: a scoping review protocol
Xin Min Lim, Esther Yin Hui Chew, George Frederick Glass, Ee‐Yuee Chan. Systematic Reviews, 2025-07-02
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
This protocol will outline the scoping review of current literature on caregiver-involved reminiscence for persons with dementia. The scoping review's findings aim to identify the research gaps in this emerging field where reminiscence is not just pertaining to persons with dementia but involved or even led by caregivers. This will thereby provide guidance for future studies on caregiver engagement with persons with dementia in the community and outpatient settings and provide insights into effective caregiver-involved reminiscence activities. Practical challenges include study heterogeneity on specific caregiver involvement. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/H2ZST .
