Description
Mohammad Rababa, a solo author, studies how feeling close to family relates to agitation in older adults with dementia, in a 2023 Jordanian study. Most people with dementia would rather stay home than move to a nursing home, a preference reinforced by local culture and faith. Yet work outside the home leaves many alone for long hours.
The study compared 51 adults with dementia living at home and 51 in nursing homes. It measured emotional closeness, social network size, and positive and negative feelings, then set them against agitation levels. Neglect at home can harm body and mind, so the balance of ties matters. Findings can guide family support that keeps home living safe rather than merely preferred.
