Research on dementia in British Bangladeshis. Implications for health policy and practice

      Аннотация: This book provides novel and current research findings on the knowledge and attitudes towards dementia among a Bangladeshi community in England. The findings will help improve the advice, care and support for other Bangladeshi elderly living with dementia and their family carers (as well as healthcare professionals delivering services) outside of the specific context of the research setting. This will also help to better understand the challenges family carers face, the barriers to accessing health and social care services, coping strategies and avenues for future action. In this context, it is vital that future studies highlight the importance of raising dementia awareness and provide more information to Bangladeshi community members about dementia, dementia caregiving and religiously sensitive healthcare services.
