Description

Hui Zhao and five co-authors review past work on the spiritual needs of older adults with dementia in two thousand twenty-three. Faith and spirit can aid sleep, mood, and thought in later life. People with dementia may need such support more, yet care rarely gives it. Unmet needs can lead to low mood, worry, and more pain.

The team searched five databases for studies over two decades. Five studies met their rules, most of them based on talks with patients. Needs centered on bonds, meaning, and a sense of peace. Bonds spanned faith, kin, nature, art, and self. The authors say low cost care that honors these needs can support worth and well-being.
