Abstract

Karen Johnston investigated the experiences of dementia in Fiji from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. She constructed a grounded theory about processes that caregivers use to manage dementia care, 'letting it be'. Positive change centres on the integration and promotion of community understandings and cultural values with service provision.
