Aim:
To explore the experiences of Certified Nurses in Dementia Nursing (DCNs) concerning the effective education of staff in acute hospitals.

Design:
A qualitative design using a thematic analysis.
Methods:
Data were extracted from a focus group discussion conducted with 10 DCNs working in 10 different acute hospitals in central Japan. Participants answered semi-structured, open-ended questions about their experiences related to effective staff education. Categories, subcategories and themes were created. This study complied with the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research.
Results:
The two themes identified were "building a foundation for dementia care education" and "continuous support based on practical processes."
