Differences in self and proxy assessments regarding motivation, quality of life and care dependency of people with dementia considering a technology‐based intervention

Self‐reported assessments of people with dementia (PwD) are sparsely used in research, which may be due to the progressive impairment of cognitive functioning and higher time expenditures for assessments. Proxy assessments by healthcare professionals or relatives are often used instead. The aim was to investigate whether a technology‐based intervention significantly influences self and proxy assessments of PwD’s quality of life (QoL), motivation, and care dependency.
