Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study was approved by the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (No. 49799).Both the person with dementia and the next of kin received oral and written information about the study and provided written consent to participate. A procedure for evaluating whether a person with dementia was capable of providing consent was developed and approved along with the approval of the study. Three persons with dementia were considered to lack the capacity to consent, and the next of kin consented on their behalf. The evaluation of their capacity to provide consent was conducted by either their next of kin or a health care provider from the farm or the municipality. The participants were assured that they could withdraw at any time during the data collection.
