Slow Nursing and Its Holistic Place in Dementia Care: A Secondary Analysis of Qualitative Data From Nurses Working in Nursing Homes

Abstract

Despite a growing body of research literature within dementia care, research concerning how to provide holistic quality care and its benefit for people with dementia is still scarce. In this study, a secondary analysis of original qualitative data from a former study was employed. Findings demonstrated that slow nursing embodies a holistic caring approach, which may improve the care quality provided to people with dementia. The current findings also provide key knowledge that may contribute to nursing research and education.
