The Knowledge of Caregivers About Care for People Living With Dementia and Its Associations in Nursing Homes and Home Care—A Quantitative Study
Offering educational programmes to caregivers could increase dementia-care knowledge. Additionally, caregiver experience in caring for PwD could potentially be optimised through short internships, shadowing and staff retention. Future research should explore valid, effective and attractive educational programmes for the various functional groups, in addition to identifying strategies for accelerating the process of acquiring experience in care for people with dementia.
