This article describes the development of a theater script derived from a critical ethnographic study that followed people living with dementia--and their family and professional caregivers--over an 18-month period. Analysis of the ethnographic data yielded four themes that characterized home-based dementia care relationships: managing care resources, making care decisions, evaluating care practices, and reifying care norms. The research team expanded to include a colleague with playwright experience, who used these themes to write a script. A theater director was included to cast and direct the play, and finally, a videography company filmed the actors on a realistic set. To contribute to the qualitative health research and the research-based theater knowledge translation literatures, this article describes and explains the creative decisions taken as part of our effort to disseminate research focused on home-based dementia care in a way that catalyzes and fosters critical (actionable) dialogue.
本文描述了一个戏剧脚本的创作过程，该脚本源自一项批判性人种志研究，该研究对患有痴呆症的人及其家人和专业护理人员进行了为期18个月的跟踪。对人种志数据的分析产生了四个表征居家痴呆症护理关系的主题：管理护理资源、做出护理决策、评估护理实践以及固化护理规范。研究团队扩大到包括一位有剧作家经验的同事，他利用这些主题编写了一个脚本。邀请了一位戏剧导演来选角和执导这部戏剧，最后，一家摄像公司在一个逼真的场景中拍摄了演员。为了对定性健康研究和基于研究的戏剧知识转化文献做出贡献，本文描述并解释了作为我们努力的一部分所做出的创造性决策，即以促进和推动批判性（可采取行动的）对话的方式传播专注于居家痴呆症护理的研究。
