Table 1.

Five intervention targets and the overarching principle

	Targets	Antecedents
1.	Relationship with carer	Carer might just do things for people with dementia (no chance to self-manage)
		Carer has to encourage people with dementia to self manage
		Need to do activities as a couple
		Activity might not get done by people with dementia
		Care roles are not always clear
2.	Maintaining an active lifestyle	Not encouraged to stay active
		People with dementia want to be able to take basic care of themselves
		People with dementia have no access to activities
3.	Psychological wellbeing	Insecurity, low self-efficacy and low self-esteem
		People with dementia and carers might be in denial (or might not know)
4.	Memory techniques	Memory techniques are not routinely taught
5.	Information	Lack of information for people with dementia
		People with dementia don’t know much about their condition
		People with dementia don’t know what treatments or resources there are (e.g., Finance)
	Overarching principles	Services and systems do not address individual needs of people with dementia
		Individual differences are not taken into account
