Age-related changes lead to an increase in skin problems, meaning around 80% of older people have a treatable skin condition. A study of residents in 10 German care homes found that almost every resident had at least one skin problem. Ageing and poor physical health can make it difficult for older people to care for their skin and eczema can develop. An estimated 1.8 million people in the UK have psoriasis. This inflammatory skin condition causes symptoms that range from mild to severe. Most people with psoriasis are cared for in primary care but, on occasion, may require specialist treatment. Although both conditions differ, psoriasis and eczema require meticulous skin care to reduce the risks of complications such as infection and discomfort. This article provides nurses with information about how to support people with eczema and psoriasis, how to manage these conditions and reduce the risks of complications.

Resistance to care is common in people with dementia and can involve active resistance, such as shouting, or passive resistance, such as stiffening of muscles or refusing to open the mouth. Resistance occurs within a complex legal and ethical backdrop, where care staff must consider issues of consent, mental capacity, best interests and duty of care. Resistance also sits within powerful cultures of care, where care staff must resist task-orientated, dehumanising care that fails to acknowledge the personhood of people with dementia. Rather than accepting resistance as an expected part of dementia, care staff must look closer and with curiosity for underlying causes and unmet need. A biopsychosocial approach can be useful in uncovering these needs, and in allowing the structuring of a person-centred response.
