Our population is rapidly aging and vulnerable older patients have increasing care needs. The needs of these patients in acute hospital care, especially those diagnosed with dementia, have not been sufficiently explored.
Objective: Our project n. 760219 (Met and unmet needs of vulnerable older patients receiving healthcare at home and in hospital) was accepted for funding by the Grant Agency of Charles University. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the needs of vulnerable older patients and patients with dementia.
Initial deliverables of the project are scoping reviews of self-reported needs of 1) older people in home care; 2) older patients in hospital care; and 3) home dwelling people with dementia. The aim of this presentation is to explore the needs of people living with dementia in acute hospital care.
Methods: A scoping review of the articles published between 2009 and 2019 was carried out using the databases Scopus, Web of science, PsycInfo, ProQuest Central, CINAHL and PubMed to search for relevant articles according to PRISMA guidelines. Results: The poster will present the results from the scoping review of the needs of people with dementia in acute hospital care.
The context and comparison of the previous results of our project will be included.
