The authors Hayden and Glenn commented on the paper ‘The introduction of a nursing guideline on depression at psychogeriatric nursing home wards: Effects on Certified Nurse Assistants’. This publication responds to the reply given by Hayden and Glenn.

The paper concluded that the introduction of the nursing guideline ‘Depression in dementia’ had a positive, though small, significant effect on the perceived professional autonomy of Certified Nurse Assistants. And found that effects could probably be enlarged if non-Certified Nurse Assistants and nursing helpers were also trained, and managers paid more attention to the necessary conditions for successful introduction. Hayden and Glenn do not agree with these conclusions, and state that the correct conclusion would be that the introduction of guidelines on depression did not have any beneficial effects on Certified Nurse Assistants. Therefore, such nursing guidelines should not be administered.
