Abstract

Background: Due to the progressive nature of dementia, concerns about nursing home residents' safety are frequently raised. Surveillance technology, enabling visual and auditory monitoring, is often seen as a solution for ensuring safe and efficient care. However, tailoring surveillance technology to individual needs is challenging due to the complex and dynamic care environment involving multiple formal and informal stakeholders, each with unique perspectives.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the scientific literature on the perspectives and values of stakeholders involved in applying surveillance technology for people with dementia in nursing homes.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review and systematically searched five scientific databases. We identified 31 articles published between 2005 and 2024. Stakeholder characteristics were extracted and synthesized according to Schwartz' theory of basic human values.

Results: Twelve stakeholder groups were identified, with nursing staff, residents and informal caregivers being the most frequently mentioned. Among stakeholder groups close to residents, values related to benevolence, security, conformity and tradition were most commonly addressed. Further, values such as self-direction, power and achievement seemed important to most stakeholder groups.

Conclusions: Several stakeholder groups emphasized the importance of being and feeling involved in the application of surveillance technologies. Additionally, they acknowledged the necessity of paying attention to stakeholders' perspectives and values. Across these stakeholder groups, values related to benevolence, security, and self-direction were represented although various stakeholders assigned different meanings to these values. Awareness of stakeholders' perspectives demands a willingness to acknowledge each other's values and bridge differences.
