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.

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.

T1 - My Humorous Robot: Effects of a Robot Telling Jokes on Perceived Intelligence and Liking T2 - Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction N2 - Research suggests, interpersonal competences such as having a sense of humor can help establish sociality in human-robot interaction. This study tested the effect of different types of jokes told by either a human or a robot (NAO) on the perceived intelligence and liking of the narrator. Results of a mixed-design ANOVA showed that only clever jokes could increase the attribution of intelligence to a robot. No significant differences were found for different types of jokes on liking the robot.

T1 - A Mixed Reality Approach for Enhanced Understanding and Empathy: Simulating Auditory and Visual Phenomena in Schizophrenia T2 - InfraHealth 2023: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Infrastructures for Healthcare N2 - Simulation-based learning using virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) provides an immersive experience for teaching practical skills. While widely used in healthcare and workforce training, AR/VR simulation in mental health is still emerging. Research suggests that these simulations can offer a unique perspective on mental illness and reduce stigma. However, the results are mixed, and further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms. Factors such as empathy, knowledge, and visual design play a crucial role in successful interventions. Augmented reality allows for a more realistic and integrated experience. This article presents the development of a simulation aimed at reducing the stigma associated with mental illness, focusing on symptoms of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. A literature review, existing simulations, and the experiences of affected individuals were used to inform the content of the simulation. Expert validation was carried out to ensure its accuracy and effectiveness.

Wie diese Versorgung im ambulanten Bereich in Deutschland derzeit tatsächlich aussieht, ist unklar. Methode Wir führten eine Umfrage zur aktuellen palliativen Versorgungspraxis bei fortgeschrittener Herzinsuffizienz unter niedergelassenen Kardiolog:innen und Hausärzt:innen in Deutschland durch. Die Umfrage wurde von einer multiprofessionellen Projektgruppe der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kardiologie – Herz- und Kreislaufforschung e. V. entwickelt und durch den Bundesverband Niedergelassener Kardiologen e. V. online durchgeführt. Ergebnisse An der Studie nahmen 235 Personen teil. Eine Mehrheit der Befragten gab an, häufig oder immer mit Patient:innen mit fortgeschrittener Herzinsuffizienz über ihre Therapieziele gesprochen zu haben. Hausärzt:innen gaben wesentlich öfter als Kardiolog:innen an, immer oder häufig Aufgaben der palliativen Grundversorgung zu übernehmen. Keine:r der befragten niedergelassenen Kardiolog:innen, jedoch 35,1 % der Hausärzt:innen gaben an, bei Patient:innen mit fortgeschrittener Herzinsuffizienz häufig oder immer eine spezialisierte ambulante Palliativversorgung (SAPV) verordnet zu haben. Über 90 % der Kardiolog:innen gaben an, Patient:innen selten oder nie weiter zu betreuen, wenn diese nicht mehr selbst in die Praxis kommen konnten. Konklusion Nur wenige Niedergelassene in Deutschland überweisen ihre Patient:innen mit fortgeschrittener Herzinsuffizienz an spezialisierte palliativmedizinische Versorgungsstrukturen. Palliative Grundversorgung und die Involvierung der SAPV werden wesentlich häufiger von Hausärzt:innen als von niedergelassen Kardiolog:innen übernommen.
