The journal Dementia has recently published an article by two researchers from the University of South Australia. The impact of dementia on marriage : a qualitative systematic review appraised the literature on this subject and concluded that two major themes emerged. The transition theme included relationship, roles and intimacy, and reflected the changes in the marriage relationship accompanying dementia. The loss theme included losing a partner and losing a marriage. The two themes were found to be interrelated.
The abstract of the article is freely available, but please contact your library for the full text.
