Usability and Impact of the Web-Based Dementia Foundations Educational Program in Personal Support Workers (PSWs), PSW Trainees, and Care Companions: Quasi-Experimental Study

This pilot study in PSWs, PSW trainees, and unregulated care companions demonstrated high satisfaction levels with the web-based Dementia Foundations Program. There were substantial improvements in knowledge and small improvements in attitudes for participants, and it was perceived as a useful tool that complemented their existing education and training. The Dementia Foundations Program is a user-friendly and effective e-learning program, which can be conveniently scaled and spread to enhance unregulated care provider dementia education.
