abstract = {Although nursing homes are aware of the relevance of
person-centred care, the translation of this approach into
practice remains difficult. This study aims to explore the
meaning of person-centred dementia care and the role of
internal regulations in German-speaking nursing homes in
translating this concept into practice.This study (a
qualitative exploratory design) is part of an overall study
of internal regulations about person-centred dementia care
in nursing homes. In this substudy, we conducted nine
virtual focus group discussions with experts from theory,
practice, and regulatory authorities from Germany, Austria
and Switzerland about person-centred dementia care. We
analysed the data via qualitative content analysis using a
deductive-inductive approach.For experts, the leadership
function is crucial for the concept of person-centred
dementia care in nursing homes. Leadership is inextricably
linked to other elements, such as setting priorities,
mindset, structural requirements, internal regulations and
outcomes. Leadership therefore has a hinge function: it
enables a limited and controlled rotation of connected
elements to illustrate the dimensions of the individual
elements from person-centred to non-person-centred. In
addition to setting priorities and outcomes, mindset
development and structural requirements are particularly
relevant for the implementation of person-centred dementia
care in nursing homes. The experts described differences
between traditional internal regulations and regulations
about person-centred dementia care in nursing homes. The
development of internal regulations for person-centred
dementia care and the content of these regulations are
consequences of a circular, dialogical collective
understanding process. It leads processually in a bottom-up
manner to a common understanding of person-centred dementia
care, which is then written down. Experts recommend
formulating these regulations as concepts and options
analogous to mindset development, which employees can use in
the care of the resident while maintaining autonomy.The
study provides 1) insight into how person-centred dementia
care and the role of internal regulation are understood in
German-speaking nursing homes and 2) a precise description
of the development of a mindset and regulations for
person-centred dementia care in nursing homes that requires
both top-down and bottom-up processes.},
