Focus group study reveals training needs for healthcare personnel to improve quality of care in frontotemporal dementia.
People with FTD and other dementias with frontotemporal symptoms need rigid, easy-to-understand, predictable surroundings and healthcare personnel that are clear, friendly, and respectful in their communication. Post-diagnostic support provided in flexible systems ensuring smooth transitions between services and levels of care is required. To ensure quality of care, frontline healthcare staff should be able to recognize FTD symptoms. To achieve this, supervision and training are needed. More research about clinical care interventions and how to derive good nursing practice should be prioritized.
