Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Plain-language summary

ABSTRACT: Palliative care is essential for patients with serious illness, including those with dementia. Latino older adults are 1.5 times more likely to develop dementia than non-Latino White older adults and often do not receive palliative care, which has been shown to improve quality of life. In addition, there is great diversity among the Latino population, which comprises individuals from 20 countries, with different lived experiences and cultural expressions. Culture-centered palliative care (CCPC) is an approach to better serve the needs of this diverse community. In this article, the authors present a case study and tools for integrating CCPC into nursing practice for Latino people living with dementia and their families.

How to read this study

Design: our record does not state a study design, so check the methods section of the original before weighing the result.
Size: the record gives no participant count. Look for one in the original before trusting a pattern.
Effect: the record gives no effect size, so the summary above cannot say how large any difference was.

What the evidence grade means here

This page is graded low. alzhub.org assigns the grade automatically from keywords in the abstract, not from reading the paper. Low means the abstract matched neither pattern. It is the default label, and it does not mean the work is poor; many sound lab and imaging papers land here. It can add at most 5 of the 100 points in the study score, and it is a label about design, not a verdict on whether the findings are true.
