Introduction: Dementia is a chronic advanced disease that affects higher brain functions. The disease brings problems that primarily destroy relationships due to the misunderstanding of the altered health status of the person with dementia. The depressions, anger, and similar emotional distress and difficulties in understanding, memory loss and orientation are just some of the changes perceived by relatives at the beginning. There are many different approaches to treating people with dementia, medical, rehabilitative, ecological, social-therapeutic, psychosocial, integrated, and more. A congruent model is a new approach for the treatment of people with dementia, also called attentive and congruent caregiving which has positive effects on people with dementia or people with borderline disorders. Purpose: The purpose of this diploma work is to present the treatment of people with dementia according to the method of congruent model and to compare it with other ways or methods of treatment of persons with dementia. The aim of this diploma work is to present how relationships and teamwork affect the treatment of people with dementia, and to present the quality of people with dementia treated according to the congruent model method. Methods: In this thesis a descriptive method of work with the review and analysis of domestic and foreign scientific and professional literature is used. The search was conducted using bibliographic databases: Medline, COBIB.SI, CINAHL, and Google's web browser. Articles from various journals, contributions, and other publications in the field of gerontology, as well as the specific work of persons with dementia, were reviewed. The search of the literature was conducted from January 2019 to June 2019. Results: The congruent model achieves very good effects in elderly care facilities, especially in people with dementia. It has also a great effect on the elderly who do not have additional illnesses and experiences in all other fields of healthcare in the past. Relationships in working groups are transformed into trusting relationships. Nurses report positive changes and are satisfied with the model. Discussion and conclusion: Nursing congruence is a way we want to interact with patients to make them feel good and want to achieve health goals. The healthcare provider first recognizes himself, becomes aware of his actions, responses, understands himself because only when we understand and know ourselves can we understand and get to know others. Open and honest communication is important for good participation in the patient care process and for a successful and uniform nursing care a respectful, correct attitude is required.
