The aim was to capture experiences of PPI across the five countries, explore the benefits and challenges of PPI in dementia research, and identify contributions made to the study. Methods We surveyed PPI members and academic researchers who collaborated on the HOMESIDE study. The survey was co-designed through consultation with PPI members and academics, alongside a small scoping literature review. Survey questions covered four topics: (1) expectations for PPI, (2) perceived contributions of PPI to the research study, (3) benefits and challenges of PPI, and (4) recommendations for future PPI in dementia research. Results There were 23 responses, representing 50\% of the PPI members (n = 16) and 29\% of academics (n = 7). PPI was found to be beneficial to the research and individuals involved. Contributions to the research included supporting recruitment and publicity, advising on the design of participant-facing materials, guiding the design and delivery of the interventions, and identifying cultural differences affecting research delivery. PPI members benefited from building connections, sharing experiences and receiving support, learning about dementia and research, and gaining new unexpected experiences. Academics learned about the realities of living with dementia, which they felt informed and grounded their work. Several challenges were identified, including the need for clear expectations and objectives, inconsistency of PPI members across research stages, limitations of meeting online versus in-person, scheduling difficulties, and language barriers. Conclusions This study identifies important considerations for implementing PPI within dementia studies and international healthcare research more broadly. Our findings guided the development of five recommendations: (1) involve PPI members as early as possible and throughout the research process; (2) create a space for constructive criticism and feedback; (3) have clear tasks, roles, and expectations for PPI members; (4) involve PPI members with a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds; and (5) embed infrastructure and planning to support PPI.}, language = {en} } @article{StedjeKvammeJohanssonetal., author = {Stedje, Kristi and Kvamme, Tone S{\ae}ther and Johansson, Kjersti and Sousa, Tanara Vieira and Odell-Miller, Helen and Stens{\ae}th, Karette Annie and Bukowska, Anna A. and Tamplin, Jeanette and Wosch, Thomas and Baker, Felicity Anne}, title = {The Influence of Home-Based Music Therapy Interventions on Relationship Quality in Couples Living with Dementia—An Adapted Convergent Mixed Methods Study}, series = {International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health}, volume = {20}, journal = {International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health}, number = {4}, publisher = {MDPI AG}, issn = {1660-4601}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph20042863}, abstract = {Relationship quality is important for well-being and quality of life in couples living with dementia. Home-based music therapy interventions may be conducted with the aim of enhancing relationship quality. However, the effects or influences of such interventions are only briefly investigated in previous studies. This study's aim was to identify how a 12-week home-based music therapy intervention may influence relationship quality in couples living with dementia, through an adapted convergent mixed methods design. In this case, 68 participating couples from the HOMESIDE RCT study, and four individually recruited couples, received the music therapy intervention. Relationship quality for all participants was measured by the standardized Quality of Caregiver-Patient Relationship scale, and qualitative interviews were conducted with the four individually recruited participants at baseline and post intervention. Quantitative analysis indicated no statistically significant intervention effect. However, relationship quality remained stable over the intervention period. The qualitative analysis identified that the music therapy interventions primarily led to positive emotions, closeness, intimacy, and communication between the persons with dementia and their care partners. Intervention influences could also be ambiguous, as sharing music experiences might involve a risk of evoking vulnerabilities or negative emotional responses.}, language = {en} } @article{CampbellHogueDuetal., author = {Campbell, Elsa and Hogue, John and Du, Jian and Issing, Katharina and Wosch, Thomas}, title = {Music moves: Ettlingen dementia study - a pragmatic randomised controlled trial}, series = {Aging \& Mental Health}, volume = {29}, journal = {Aging \& Mental Health}, number = {6}, publisher = {Informa UK Limited}, issn = {1360-7863}, doi = {10.1080/13607863.2025.2451744}, pages = {980 -- 991}, language = {en} } @article{StedjeSatherKvammeOdellMilleretal., author = {Stedje, Kristi and S{\ae}ther Kvamme, Tone and Odell-Miller, Helen and Stens{\ae}th, Karette A. and Bukowska, Anna A. and Tamplin, Jeanette and Wosch, Thomas and Baker, Felicity Anne}, title = {Music therapy approaches to support relationship quality in couples living with dementia: A hermeneutic-phenomenological study of music therapists' reflections}, series = {Nordic Journal of Music Therapy}, journal = {Nordic Journal of Music Therapy}, publisher = {Informa UK Limited}, issn = {0809-8131}, doi = {10.1080/08098131.2025.2497805}, pages = {1 -- 18}, language = {en} } @article{BakerBlauthBloskaetal., author = {Baker, Felicity A. and Blauth, Laura and Bloska, Jodie and Bukowska, Anna A. and Flynn, Libby and Hsu, Ming-Hung and Janus, Edyta and Johansson, Kjersti and Odell-Miller, Helen and Miller, Hayley and Petrowitz, Carina and Pool, Jonathan and Stens{\ae}th, Karette and Tamplin, Jeanette and Teggelove, Kate and Wosch, Thomas and Sousa, Tanara Vieira}, title = {Recruitment approaches and profiles of consenting family caregivers and people living with dementia: A recruitment study within a trial}, series = {Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications}, volume = {32}, journal = {Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications}, publisher = {Elsevier BV}, issn = {2451-8654}, doi = {10.1016/j.conctc.2023.101079}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MenneLangeUnz, author = {Menne, Isabelle M. and Lange, Benjamin P. and Unz, Dagmar C.}, title = {My Humorous Robot: Effects of a Robot Telling Jokes on Perceived Intelligence and Liking}, series = {Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction}, booktitle = {Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, doi = {10.1145/3173386.3177015}, pages = {193 -- 194}, abstract = {Research suggests, interpersonal competences such as having a sense of humor can help establish sociality in human-robot interaction.
