Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review evidence about the effectiveness of educational programmes in promoting the delivery of person-centered care by staff in dementia services. METHODS Several databases were searched, and the methodological quality of identified studies systematically evaluated. A summary mean effect size was calculated for several types of outcome (direct knowledge, applied knowledge, attitudes, self-reported and observed working practices). RESULTS Eighteen studies were identified. Results were mixed, with findings of no change, significant improvement, and (in attitude) significant deterioration. Effect size was modest for direct knowledge (standardized mean difference = 0.6), but small or negligible for applied knowledge (0.29) and self-reported (0.06) and observed (0.25) working practices. There was a negative effect for attitudes (-0.17). CONCLUSIONS The quality of evidence was poor. Apart from attitudes, the effect sizes are likely to be overestimates. There was little evidence that education programmes can reliably produce substantial improvements in working practices. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Education alone is unlikely to be sufficient for establishing high standards of person-centered care in services. It needs to be supplemented by steps to ensure that staff develop skills in delivering such care in practice, and by organizational support to ensure staff have sufficient motivation, cues and opportunities for implementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To ensure the sustainable implementation of dementia-specific person-centred care (PCC) in nursing homes, internal policies are crucial. The preliminary German Dementia Policy Questionnaire, which features 19 dichotomous items, assesses the existence of and evaluates these policies. This article reports the results of an exploration of the construct validity of the preliminary Dementia Policy Questionnaire. METHODS This study is a cross-sectional study that references a secondary data set drawn from a national survey study of a randomized, stratified sample of 134 nursing homes in Germany. To explore the construct validity of the preliminary Dementia Policy Questionnaire, we conducted an adjusted multiple correspondence analysis of the pretested 19-item assessment. We included data assessed using the preliminary Dementia Policy Questionnaire from 134 care units associated with 134 nursing homes; these data were collected via telephone interviews with nursing home administrators or their representatives. RESULTS Two items assessing visitor regulations and regulations regarding the inclusion of residents in staff selection were less frequent and were therefore excluded from the adjusted multiple correspondence analysis. In total, nine items were assigned to two dimensions. The items assigned to the first dimension assess existing regulations for PCC as well as existing regulations regarding the involvement of the resident, relatives and the multiprofessional team in the collection of information concerning preferences, case conferences or decision making. The items assigned to the second dimension assess existing regulations regarding the systematic assessment of resident preferences and their requirements. CONCLUSION The study produces exploratory evidence concerning the preliminary Dementia Policy Questionnaire. Since the dimensions of the items included in this questionnaire cannot be conceptualized clearly, the instrument in its current state requires further development.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Person-centred care is a philosophy rather than a method ready for implementation and utilization in daily clinical work. Internationally, few methods for person-centred care have been widely adopted in clinical dementia care practice. In Norway, the VIPS practice model is one that is commonly used for the implementation and use of person-centred care in primary healthcare. METHOD Nursing home physicians, managers and leaders in the municipalities, care institutions and domestic nursing care services were eligible for inclusion if their workplace had implemented and used the VIPS practice model for a minimum of 12 months. Individual interviews were conducted via Facetime, Skype or telephone and analysed with qualitative content analysis. FINDINGS In all, 20 respondents were included: one manager of health and care services in the municipality, six managers and leaders working in domestic care or daytime activity centres and 10 managers/leaders and three physicians working in nursing homes. Two global categories emerged: category 1: Change in staff's professional reasoning with two sub-categories: (a) an enhanced professional level in discussions and (b) a change in focus from task to person; and category 2: Changes in the clinical work, with three sub-categories: (a) effective interventions, (b) a person-centred work environment and (c) changes in cooperation between stakeholders. CONCLUSION Regular use of the VIPS practice model appeared to change the work culture for the benefit of both service users and frontline staff. Increased cooperation between frontline staff, nurses, physicians and next of kin was described. Staff were more focused on the needs of the service users, which resulted in care interventions tailored to the needs of the individual with dementia, loyalty to care plans and fewer complaints from next of kin.
