Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of person-centered care on nutritional status of patients with dementia. In this study, we think that since the practices that reduce the eating difficulties of patients with dementia and prevent possible problems will be applied in a person-centered manner, a different perspective will be developed in this field and will affect the care of the patients more positively.
