Background: Healthcare supported by technology may be experienced as simultaneously supportive and contributing to an increased distance between persons. What is important for persons living in a nursing home, how do they experience using technology and how do they experience healthcare quality, are questions seldom asked persons with dementia. Aim: To explore the person with dementia’s experiences of care quality and use of technology in a nursing home and what is of importance for the person with dementia when living in a nursing home. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in one Norwegian nursing home for persons with dementia using the questionnaire Quality from the patient’s perspective (QPP), including six items on technology. Persons who could give their informed consent, understood and were able to express themselves verbally and that their mental and physical health made it ethically justifiable, were invited to participate. In all 33 persons with dementia participated (RR 37,5%). Descriptive statistics (frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation) and chi-square tests were run using IBM SPSS 27. Results: The respondents’ mean age was 85 years (range: 72-96 years) and 68% were women. A total of 61% of the respondents experienced that the quality of care they received in the nursing home was satisfying. Having a computer, an Ipad, or internet connection in the person’s room had statistically significant low importance. Having a mobile phone was neither important nor unimportant. On the other hand, having their own remote tv-controller and safety alarm were of high significant importance. Conclusion: Persons with dementia can answer questions about what is of importance for them and how they experience care quality when living in nursing homes. Their answers can be used in quality improvement work so that a higher number of persons can experience living in nursing homes based on their individual terms.
