Changes in Perceptions of People with Dementia Among Vietnamese College Student via Media Exposures: A Pilot Study

This pilot study investigates how Vietnamese college students' perceptions of dementia change over times, including before, right after, and a week after watching a video about how a person with dementia (PWD) sees the world; and what the students perceive as their lessons learned and own changes in perceptions of dementia and PWD. A total of 109 students completed the open-ended questions about their own depictions of dementia and their changes between before, right after, and a week after watching the video. The conventional content analysis results provide important evidence for educational strategies to reduce dementia stigma.
