abstract = {Psychosocial wellbeing is increasingly recognised as a key
outcome in dementia research and care, reflecting a shift
towards person-centred care and patient-reported outcome
measures. However, progress is hindered by a lack of a clear
and consistent definition. The present systematic review
aimed to establish how previous dementia research has
defined the term and how existing definitions may be
unified.A systematic literature review was conducted in
PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science using only the term
'psychosocial' as well as terms related to dementia in the
search string. Two blinded reviewers independently conducted
the abstract screening and full-text screening. Definitions
used in included records were extracted and their content
grouped into categories and domains. For papers presenting
empirical findings, quality screening was performed using
Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists and
findings were narratively summarised.A total of n = 36
records were identified that provided a definition for
psychosocial wellbeing. Conceptualizations most commonly (86
$\%)$ included emotional wellbeing, social health $(64\%),$
behavioural symptoms $(44\%),$ and subjective lived
wellbeing $(42\%).$ A total of n = 23 records also contained
empirical data, which indicated that psychosocial wellbeing
may be improved by several interventions such as tailored
activities and validation group therapies, among others.The
construct of 'psychosocial wellbeing' as currently used in
dementia research predominantly incorporates emotional and
subjective lived wellbeing, social health, and behavioural
symptoms. This indicates an emerging consensus. To progress
dementia research and care practice, it is essential that
future studies use a common operationalisation.},
