“A torch, a rope, a belly laugh”: engaging with the multiple voices of support groups for people living with rare dementia by Paul M. Camic, Emma Harding, Sam Rossi-Harries, Oliver S. Hayes, Mary Pat Sullivan, Lawrence Wilson, Nikki Zimmermann, Roberta McKee-Jackson, Joshua Stott, Nick C. Fox, Catherine J. Mummery, Jonathan D. Rohrer, Jason D. Warren, Rimona S. Weil, Sebastian James Crutch

“…The aim of the present study was to explore and better understand what the concept of support means for people living with different rare dementia (PLwRD) and their care-partners who attend ongoing support groups.MethodsRepresenting seven types of rare dementia, source material was collected from 177 PLwRD and care-partners attending in-person support groups, with the goal of developing research-informed group poems, co-constructed by a facilitating poet. Data were analyzed through a three-step process involving linguistic analysis followed by structured-tabular thematic analysis, relational analysis, and concluded with an online survey about participation in the study.ResultsLinguistic analysis found that co-constructed poems remained faithful to the original source material offered by participants. …”
