Abstract
Background: Crisis intervention services for people with dementia in the UK are poorly defined with no standardised model of working. This may be due to the lack of a clear conceptualisation of dementia crisis, resulting in variation in national service delivery.
Methods: This study employed a novel public engagement questionnaire data collection technique with 57 participants to gain an updated perspective on the concept of health-related crisis from the point of view of the public.
Results: Analysis revealed crisis as a transformational moment that may arrive unexpectedly, but could also be the culmination of a sequence of events. Crisis resolution requires external and expert help, and associated feelings of panic and despair can engender the task of resolution by oneself insurmountable.
Conclusions: Participants had clear expectations of crisis intervention services, with initial practical and emotional support to reduce risks, and a person-centred approach with family involvement.
