Abstract

Background

The transition from home care to nursing home care is a significant event in the life of a person with dementia and also for informal caregiver, who deal with many crises and changes.

Aim

To describe a protocol for a systematic review based on the `‘PRISMA-P 2015 statement`. We will carry out this review firstly to identify interventions that support people with dementia and their informal caregivers in the transition from home care to nursing home care, secondly to synthesise the available evidence for the efficacy of identified interventions, and thirdly to examine whether the identified interventions have been systematically developed, evaluated and implemented according to the MRC framework.

Design

This systematic review will be conducted according to the recommendations specified in the Cochrane Handbook for Intervention Reviews; reporting will follow the PRISMA statement.

Methods

The search strategy covers six electronic bibliographic databases, Google Scholar and ALOIS. In addition, backward citation tracking will be applied. The protocol includes decisions made on the research questions, inclusion/exclusion criteria, search methods, study selection, data extraction, assessment of risk of bias, data synthesis and plans for dissemination and funding.

Discussion

This systematic review will summarise the body of evidence of interventions supporting people with dementia and their informal caregivers during the transition from home care to nursing home care.

Protocol Registration

This review protocol has been registered on the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO 2015: CRD42015019839).
