A growing number of people are living with dementia, which represents a huge proportion of residents in care facilities. Connecting Today is a facilitated remote visiting program designed to address loneliness experienced by people living with moderate to severe dementia in care homes. Connecting Today involved weekly, scheduled, facilitated remote visits by video call between a person living with dementia and a family member, friend or care partner.
The authors applied a qualitative descriptive approach to conduct semi-structured interviews and explore the remote visitors' perspectives of the challenges and benefits of participating in Connecting Today in relation to addressing loneliness of a person living with dementia. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze the data. The key strategies including investigator triangulation, detailed audit trail to link all data to codes, categories, sub-themes and final themes, memos and a team-based approach for data analysis were applied to ensure that the findings reflected the data and responded to the research question.
The themes support the use of remote visits to enhance, rather than replace, in-person visits; the benefits of remote visits for the person living with dementia and their remote visitors; and the conditions that lead to a successful remote visit. The findings highlighted that the visitors identified benefits related to decreasing loneliness and increasing social connection, found that remote visits helped them address the care needs of people living with dementia, and supported improvements to communication and relationships. Visitors also viewed that including a facilitator that provided support to both the person living with dementia and the visitor have contributed to a meaningful visit.
This study may impact clinical practice by guiding the use of remote visits in care homes and inform future interventional research to evaluate the effectiveness of remote visits for people living with dementia and their remote visitors.
