Abstract
China attaches great importance to the issue of population aging, actively addressing it as one of the country’s important measures, with the care model for elderly people with dementia being a focus of society. This study explores the spiritual support care model for elderly people with dementia from the perspective of supply-demand matching, aiming to construct more feasible and economical care models and nursing care plans to improve the quality of nursing services and enhance the quality of life of elderly people. At the same time, it enhances the quality of life for the elderly. This study provides a better understanding of the research progress related to the spiritual support care model for medical staff, offering a rich guiding experience for elderly people with dementia in China. It provides a solid theoretical foundation for the application of spiritual support care. In future development, interdisciplinary research models can be promoted to drive innovative development, combining China’s profound traditional cultural heritage and adapting to the diversified demands arising from social development, ensuring that every elderly person has support and care and enhancing the spiritual health level of the elderly.
