To gain knowledge about how the original culture may influence communication and interaction with institutionalised patients with dementia and of what particular cultural aspects may come to the fore, exemplified by Sami patients.
Qualitative narrative interviews with 15 interviewees, family members of Sami patients with dementia and nursing staff experienced with dementia care were conducted. Hermeneutic, thematic analysis was used.
Although the way dementia influence mental functions, language, etc. is universal, behaviours, reactions and responses may be coloured by the patient's background culture. Knowledge of language, cultural codes and the patient's former life are primary keys to understanding. Rhythm of life, spirituality, singing and tangible aspects of traditional culture like clothes and food constitute important aspects of culture-appropriate care.
了解原生文化如何影响与患有痴呆症的住院患者的沟通与互动，以及哪些特定文化方面可能会凸显出来，以萨米族患者为例进行说明。
对15名受访者进行了定性叙述访谈，这些受访者包括患有痴呆症的萨米族患者的家庭成员以及有痴呆症护理经验的护理人员。采用诠释学主题分析法。
尽管痴呆症影响心理功能、语言等的方式具有普遍性，但行为、反应和回应可能会受到患者背景文化的影响。语言知识、文化代码和患者以前的生活是理解的关键。生活节奏、精神性、唱歌以及传统文化中的实物方面，如衣服和食物，构成了适宜文化护理的重要方面。
