Despite its global importance and the recognition of dementia as an international public health priority, interventions to reduce stigma of dementia are a relatively new and emerging field. The purpose of this review was to synthesize the existing literature and identify key components of interventions to reduce stigma of dementia. We followed Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review process to examine peer-reviewed literature of interventions to reduce dementia-related stigma. A stigma-reduction framework was used for classifying the interventions: education (dispel myths with facts), contact (interact with people with dementia), mixed (education and contact), and protest (challenge negative attitudes). From the initial 732 references, 21 studies were identified for inclusion. We found a variety of education, contact, and mixed interventions ranging from culturally tailored films to intergenerational choirs. Findings from our review can inform the development of interventions to support policies, programs, and practices to reduce stigma and improve the quality of life for people with dementia.
尽管痴呆症具有全球重要性且被视为国际公共卫生重点，但减少痴呆症污名化的干预措施是一个相对较新且正在兴起的领域。本综述的目的是综合现有文献，并确定减少痴呆症污名化干预措施的关键组成部分。我们遵循阿克西和奥马利的范围综述流程，审查了关于减少痴呆症相关污名化干预措施的同行评审文献。一个减少污名化框架被用于对干预措施进行分类：教育（用事实消除误解）、接触（与痴呆症患者互动）、混合（教育和接触）以及抗议（挑战负面态度）。从最初的732篇参考文献中，确定了21项研究纳入。我们发现了从文化定制电影到代际合唱团等各种教育、接触和混合干预措施。我们综述的结果可为干预措施的制定提供参考，以支持相关政策、项目和实践，减少污名化并改善痴呆症患者的生活质量。
