Declaration
:
: This study has been approved by the Lakehead University Research Ethics Board (reference# 1466955) and renewed July 24, 2022 (attached). We will update ethics approval prior to returning to the LTC homes and align with COVID-19 regulations. Informed, written consent has and will be obtained from paid (LTC home workers) and unpaid (family members) care partners of the person with dementia. For LTC home residents with dementia, proxy consent will be obtained from the family substitute decision maker and ongoing ‘assent’ will be obtained from the person living with dementia.
: Not applicable.
: The authors declare that there are no competing financial interests. Dr. Kontos may have an academic competing interest, as her relational citizenship theory is used as a framework for the study methodology. However, the use of the theory and its competing interest may be more relevant during data analysis. The research team will reflect and question findings to ensure that analysis is consistent with the data (as stated on the manuscript).
