Ant 111 Assignment 1 (final draft) Participant Observation in Nursing Home Wards for People Suffering from Dementia The research concentrated on how nursing homes develop their care for inhabitants suffering from dementia. In order to study this, I was a known observer at Evenswood nursing home in Kingston Ma for 10 days "Getting in" did not prove to be very problematic, but "getting along" was a lot harder. There was no reason for staff to like a snooping college kid. It was quite clear that the information I received was influenced by the way I was perceived. Moreover, the dementia the inhabitants of the wards suffer from and their reaction to it did not leave me indifferent To get in to the nursing home, I first wrote a letter to the management, explaining what my research was about and asking if I could observe in the nursing home concerned.

This study lead to suggestions that situational factors and expectations may be
I was admitted to a surgical intensive care unit in India when I was 15 years old for an inflamed appendix. I was so amused by the way the nurses took care of me and the other patients over there during my 3 days stay in that ICU and in my heart I decided I want to be a nurse.

I followed him and my younger sister followed me to become a nurse. The financial conditions of my home did not allow me to go for a bachelor’s degree at that time as it was very expensive as we all were in nursing school at the same time.
