الوصف: Aim: To explore home-dwelling people with dementia and family members' perceptions of the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention using dementia-related literature excerpts to facilitate conversations on ethical issues related to living with dementia. Background: Ethical issues in dementia care emerge throughout the illness.

Addressing ethical issues and providing adequate support to home-dwelling people with dementia and their families are often lacking. Design: An exploratory-descriptive qualitative study. Methods: We conducted eight interviews with 14 home-dwelling persons with dementia and their family caregivers. Six were dyadic interviews, and two were individual interviews with family caregivers. We analysed the interview data using template analysis. We adhered to the COREQ checklist in reporting this study.
