Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Mental Health
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • Many older adults requiring care have mental health concerns, necessitating skilled eldercare workers.
  • Frontline staff need enhanced skills for supporting individuals with mental illnesses.
  • The Community Psychogeriatric Programme provides training and consultation to eldercare providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of standardized training workshops on eldercare workers' knowledge and perceptions.
  • To evaluate changes in stress levels and knowledge regarding mental illness in older adults.
  • To measure the retention of knowledge and altered perceptions at a three-month follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • 71 eldercare workers participated in two four-hour workshops on dementia and depression.
  • Knowledge was assessed pre-workshop, post-workshop, and at three-month follow-up.
  • Perceptions of working with older adults with mental health issues were measured pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in knowledge scores for dementia and depression were observed (p < 0.001).
  • Knowledge gains were maintained at the three-month follow-up.
  • Most measures on Ryden's Perception Scale showed significant changes (p < 0.05) at follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Training eldercare workers in mental healthcare effectively enhances knowledge and positively shifts perceptions.
  • Sustained support from mental health professionals can further improve care for older adults with mental health conditions.
  • Such training programs are vital for enhancing the quality of care for a vulnerable elderly population.
