摘要
In this article, perceived benefits, facilitators and challenges of peer support offered for and by people living with dementia are explored by comparing peer support provided by Dementia Lifestyle Coach (DLC) and Dementia Alliance International (DAI). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with interviewees from DLC and DAI. Interview recordings were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Peer support offered by DLC and DAI provided connection and emotional and informational support and promoted living well with dementia. Each programme had unique barriers and facilitators. The article concludes that peer support for and by people living with dementia should be considered in post-diagnostic dementia support programmes.
