Addressing relationship quality of people with dementia and their family carers...
Marques, Maria J.; Woods, Bob; Jelley, Hannah; Kerpershoek, Liselot; Hopper, Louise; Irving, Kate; Bieber, Anja; Stephan, Astrid; Sköldunger, AndersObjective: The quality of the relationship between persons with dementia and family carers influences health and quality-of-life outcomes. Little is known regarding those at higher risk of experiencing a decline in relationship quality, who could potentially benefit the most from interventions. We aimed to identify these risk profiles and explore the underlying factors. Methods: We applied a latent profile anal...
Needs for Care, Service Use and Quality of Life in Dementia: 12-Month Follow-Up...
Gonçalves-Pereira, Manuel; Marques, Maria J.; F. Alves, Regina; Verdelho, Ana; Balsinha, Conceição; Alves, Luísa; Alves Reis, Teresa; Woods, BobIntroduction: The intermediate stages of dementia are relatively under-researched, including in Portugal. The Actifcare (ACcess to TImely Formal Care) EU-JPND project studied people with mild-moderate dementia, namely their needs, access to and use of community services (e.g., day centers, home support). In our baseline assessment of the Portuguese Actifcare cohort, the unmet needs of some participants would ca...
Factors influencing the quality of relationship in dementia : a mixed-methods a...
Marques, Maria J.Introduction: Relationship quality between a person with dementia and a family carer potentially promotes health and quality of life outcomes for both. However, evidence supporting practical advice on how to tailor psychosocial interventions to relationship aspects is still limited. This may be due to overreliance on methods that miss the complexity of individual and dyadic characteristics and changing circumst...
Trajectories of relationship quality in dementia: a longitudinal study in eight...
Marques, Maria J.; Tan, Eva Y.L.; Woods, Robert; Jelley, Hannah; Kerpershoek, Liselot; Hopper, Louise; Irving, Kate; Bieber, Anja; Stephan, AstridObjectives: Relationship quality (RQ) between a person with dementia and a family carer may influence their health and quality of life. However, evidence regarding its course and influencing factors is limited. We aimed to explore RQ trajectories in dementia, and identify predictors of change. Methods: We analysed longitudinal data from a cohort of 350 community-dwelling people with dementia and their informal ...

Gonçalves-Pereira, Manuel; Marques, Maria J.; Balsinha, Conceição; Fernandes, Alexandra; Machado, Ana Sá; Verdelho, Ana; Barahona-Corrêa, BernardoIntroduction: People with dementia and their relatives should have timely access to formal care in the community. The EU-Actifcare project analysed access to and use of formal services, as related to unmet needs for care. We describe the cohort study implementation and baseline results in Portugal, with a focus on needs for care and service use assessments.Material and Methods: Our convenience sample consisted ...

Assessing shot-peening residual stresses by using the incremental hole-drilling...
Nobre, João P.; Oliveira, Miguel; Albertazzi, Armando; Viotti, Matias; Batista, António Castanhola; Coelho, Luís Manuel de Jesus; Marques, Maria J.The incremental hole-drilling technique was applied to determine residual stress profiles in shot-peened steel layers. The accuracy of using an enhanced Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry technique for measuring the strain relaxation arising around the drilled holes and, consequently, the in-depth residual stress distribution induced by shot-peening, was evaluated. The experimental results were systematical...
