Te Kete Marie - the peaceful basket: an initiative for supporting people with dementia or delirium

International Journal of Palliative Nursing 2016, 22 (3): 130-6
Leanne Bolton, Tanya Loveard

Having identified the challenge to staff on an inpatient unit of caring for an increasing number of patients with dementia and delirium, an occupational therapist and two nurses developed a toolkit to improve their care.  The initiative took place in a hospice in New Zealand and the authors hope that sharing their findings will enable it to be duplicated in similar settings.
