| Σύνοψη: | Despite the extensive literature on Christian and Muslim perspectives on dementia care, there has been an absence of scholarly research on dementia care from a Buddhist perspective. What appears to be largely missing from this discourse is the potential of incorporating traditional Buddhist beliefs and practices as part of a comprehensive approach to contemplative, spiritual caregiving for people living with dementia. A multi-faith approach to dementia care is necessary to truly appreciate the diverse spiritual/religious needs of individuals with this condition. Contemplative care informed by Buddhist ethics, beliefs, and practices is an approach that deserves further exploration. For chaplains and healthcare professionals who identify themselves as Buddhists, it is important to develop care strategies that are congruent with their spiritual and cultural beliefs to effectively support the well-being of individuals living with dementia. |
