Research participation of individuals with dementia : decisional capacity, informed consent, and considerations for nurse investigators
Beattie, Elizabeth (2009) Research participation of individuals with dementia : decisional capacity, informed consent, and considerations for nurse investigators. Research in Gerontological Nursing, 2(2), pp. 94-102.
Abstract
Decisional capacity is a precious component of personhood and is progressively diminished in dementia. Conducting research with individuals with dementia demands a commitment to ensure the quest for knowledge does not overwhelm the rights of those it is intended to protect. The purposes of this article are to describe current understandings of the concept of decisional capacity, describe recent regulatory developments related to the consideration of additional protections for decisionally impaired adults, and provide recommendations for nurse investigators working with this vulnerable group.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
