| Abstract |
Many older people with dementia currently prefer home care; however, homes are neither professionally designed nor regulated like health care facilities, and home care is more prone to safety incidents. Many studies have examined home care safety for older people with dementia. However, factors contributing to safety incidents in home care have not been adequately considered. This study explored the risk factors for home care safety for older people with dementia based on the perspective of family caregivers. This study used a qualitative research approach; a total of 24 family caregivers were interviewed face-to-face and semi-structured from February 2022 to May 2022, and the Colaizzi seven-step phenomenological research method was used to analyze the data and refine the themes. Safety risks in home care for older people with dementia stem from five areas: poor health of older people with dementia, dementia symptoms, unsafe home environment, the insufficient caring ability of family caregivers, and lack of safety awareness of family caregivers. The risk factors for home care safety for older people with dementia are complex. And as the primary caregivers of older people with dementia, the caregiving ability and safety awareness of family caregivers primarily determine the safety of home care for older people with dementia. Therefore, when addressing home care safety for older people with dementia, the focus should be on providing targeted education programs and support services for family caregivers of older people with dementia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 April 2023.
All research outputs
#15,843,787
of 23,544,006 outputs
Outputs from BMC Geriatrics
#2,420
of 3,199 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#134,646
of 248,569 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Geriatrics
#41
of 63 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,544,006 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,199 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.9. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 248,569 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 63 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
