to describe the views of healthcare workers on the facilitators of communication with people with dementia in a care setting.
thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews.
all participants were interviewed in their place of work.
sixteen healthcare workers whose daily work involves interacting with people with dementia.
four overarching categories of themes were identified from the interviews that impact on communication: the attributes of a care worker, communication strategies used, organisational factors and the physical characteristics of the care environment.
many strategies used by healthcare workers to facilitate communication have not yet been studied in the research literature. Participants' views on training should be incorporated into future dementia training programmes.

对半结构化访谈进行主题分析。
所有参与者均在其工作场所接受访谈。
16名日常工作涉及与痴呆症患者互动的医护人员。
从访谈中确定了影响沟通的四大类主题:护理人员的特质、使用的沟通策略、组织因素以及护理环境的物理特征。
医护人员用于促进沟通的许多策略尚未在研究文献中得到研究。应将参与者对培训的看法纳入未来的痴呆症培训计划。
