Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Medical Ethics
  • Healthcare Professional Education

Background:

  • Increasing elderly population and dementia rates necessitate enhanced decision-making capacity assessments (DMCAs).
  • Many healthcare professionals (HCPs) lack confidence in conducting DMCAs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of DMCA workshops for HCPs and physicians.
  • To assess improvements in self-reported understanding and comfort with core DMCA concepts.

Main Methods:

  • Pre-/post-test design evaluating DMCA workshops.
  • Workshops included 3-h, 2-day (physicians), and 4-h (HCPs) formats.
  • Participants rated comfort and understanding of 15 core DMCA concepts using Likert-type items.

Main Results:

  • Physicians showed significant post-workshop improvement in understanding and comfort (62.7%-89.6%).
  • HCPs demonstrated significant post-workshop gains (49.6%-78.9%) in comfort and understanding.
  • Statistical significance (p < 0.001) confirmed improvements for all core concepts.

Conclusions:

  • DMCA training is essential for physicians and HCPs.
  • Workshop content and methods effectively enhance self-reported DMCA knowledge and comfort.
  • Training addresses a critical gap in healthcare for the aging population.
