In a response to the lack of public awareness of dementia, 'ageing in place' and 'dementia-friendly community' policies have been proposed, and a number of relevant studies have been carried out.
To map the evidence of public help for people with dementia in the community.
A scoping review.
A comprehensive search of nine databases was conducted to find studies from the inception of the databases to January 2024. We developed our inclusion criteria to identify studies about public help for people with dementia in the community. Data from included studies were charted (purposively designed template) and narrated synthesis in relation to the study's research questions.
Of 34 studies included, we found that difficult situations were encountered by people with dementia after developing cognitive, behavioural and psychological symptoms. We identified three types of helping behaviour, namely, formal planned, informal planned and spontaneous helping behaviour, which were influenced by general demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, responsibilities and understanding. Fourteen studies proposed interventions to promote public help for people with dementia in the community, covering three categories of teaching, practical and web-based methods.
It is necessary to develop a systematic intervention to promote public helping behaviour according to the characteristics of people with dementia and the modifiable influencing factors of helping behaviour.
No patient or public contribution. This is a Scoping Review.
为应对公众对痴呆症认识不足的问题，已提出“就地养老”和“痴呆友好型社区”政策，并开展了多项相关研究。
梳理社区中公众对痴呆症患者提供帮助的相关证据。
一项范围综述。
全面检索九个数据库，以查找从数据库创建之初到2024年1月的研究。我们制定了纳入标准，以确定有关社区中公众对痴呆症患者提供帮助的研究。对纳入研究的数据进行图表绘制（使用专门设计的模板），并围绕研究的研究问题进行叙述性综合分析。
在纳入的34项研究中，我们发现痴呆症患者在出现认知、行为和心理症状后会遇到困难情况。我们确定了三种帮助行为类型，即正式计划型、非正式计划型和自发帮助行为，这些行为受到一般人口统计学特征、知识、态度、责任和理解的影响。14项研究提出了促进社区中公众对痴呆症患者提供帮助的干预措施，涵盖教学、实践和基于网络的三类方法。
有必要根据痴呆症患者的特征和帮助行为的可改变影响因素，制定系统的干预措施来促进公众的帮助行为。
无患者或公众贡献。这是一项范围综述。
