      abstract     = {Aim:The extent to which psychosocial factors are considered
                      in the treatment and care of people with dementia is
                      unknown, despite their promising treatment effects.
                      Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the
                      relevance, implementation, and the challenges of integrating
                      psychosocial factors in dementia care.Subject and methods:A
                      qualitative design, in adherence to the COREQ checklist, was
                      used with three expert focus groups in the treatment and
                      care of people with dementia (10 health professionals and 6
                      informal caregivers). The focus group discussions were
                      transcribed verbatim and analyzed using qualitative content
                      analysis.Results:It emerged that psychosocial factors,
                      particularly social contact, seem to come with a beneficial
                      effect on daily life performance and general well-being.
                      Psychosocial interventions also seem to aid people with
                      dementia in experiencing competency. Findings also indicate
                      that needs, interests, and preserved abilities should be the
                      focus when deciding on the integration of psychosocial
                      factors into care. Perceived barriers to the implementation
                      of psychosocial factors in daily life were bureaucracy,
                      inadequate staffing, cost, societal challenges, and limited
                      offers of appropriate psychosocial
                      services.Conclusion:Psychosocial factors were consistently
                      perceived as beneficial. Programs should be developed to
                      address the barriers and implement model projects within the
                      respective medical health care system to serve the dementia
                      patients in the community as a whole.},
