ABSTRACT
The unmet needs of people living with dementia have been shown to be multidimensional and impact well-being. However, there are a lack of studies examining variability of unmet needs and need-related distress from the person living with dementia's perspective. The current study (n = 12) examined the self-reported unmet needs and need-related distress of people with mild to moderate dementia. Seventy-five percent of participants (n = 9) identified at least one unmet need and 50% (n = 6) reported 10 or more unmet needs. "Finding and Arranging Services" and "Health Information" subscales had the highest reported average unmet needs. The most frequently reported unmet need-item was "getting information about your memory problems?" Participants reported variability in distress for both unmet and met needs. Continued research can provide beneficial information on the relationship between unmet needs, need-related distress, and outcomes of well-being for future interventions.
