Evidence-Based Report: Home Nursing Care for Dementia Patients

This report presents a literature review focused on evidence-based home nursing care for individuals with dementia. The assignment investigates the effectiveness of physical exercise interventions in improving activities of daily living (ADLs) for elderly patients with dementia, drawing on research articles from databases like CINAHL, Medline, and Google Scholar. The review analyzes five key articles, evaluating their methodologies, findings, and limitations, while also assessing their applicability to the Australian healthcare context. The report then integrates the evidence-based practice within a person-centered care framework, outlining how the healthcare team can embed the new practices and how transformational leadership can be utilized. The report concludes by recommending practical strategies for implementing these findings within a homecare health service, ultimately aiming to enhance patient outcomes and well-being.
