Beschreibung: Background Interventions promoting social activity may reduce behavioural psychological symptoms and improve quality of life in people living with dementia. This study aimed to identify social benefits for participants living with dementia in the context of Promoting Activity, Independence and Stability in Early Dementia (PrAISED), an exercise intervention programme promoting physical activity and independence in participants living with dementia in England. Methods This was a multi-method realist evaluation undertaking secondary analysis of data collected during the PrAISED process evaluation, including qualitative interviews with participants with dementia, caregivers and therapists, personal notes of researchers, and video recordings of therapy sessions. The study consisted of four phases: (1) Setting operational definition of social outcomes in PrAISED; (2) Developing Context, Mechanisms, Outcome (CMO) configurations; (3) Testing and refining CMOs; and (4) Synthesising definitive CMOs into a middle range theory. Results Two CMOs were identified. (1) When therapists were able to make therapy sessions engaging and had the caregivers’ support, the participants experienced therapy sessions as an opportunity to achieve goals in areas they were interested in. They also found the sessions enjoyable. This all led to the participants being highly engaged in their social interactions with the therapists. (2) When the participants realised that they were gaining benefits and progress through the PrAISED intervention, such as increased balance, this boosted their confidence in physical ability. It might also reduce caregivers’ risk-aversion/gatekeeping attitude, which in turn would lead to participants’ increased participation in social activities. Conclusion The PrAISED intervention supported social participation in participants living with dementia. Under certain circumstances, home-based therapy interventions can be beneficial for social health (regardless of physical health gains). Given the limitations of currently available outcome measures to assess social participation, qualitative methods should be used to explore social health outcomes.
