Dementia

Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

1.6K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Nursing
  • Dementia Care Education
  • Nursing Workforce Development

Background:

  • Undergraduate nursing students are crucial for the growing population of older adults and people living with dementia (PLWD).
  • A significant gap exists in geriatric and dementia-specific training for nursing students, contributing to workforce shortages in these critical areas.
  • Many nursing graduates do not pursue careers in geriatrics or dementia care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess nursing students' interest and intention to work with PLWD.
  • To gather student suggestions for improving geriatric and dementia care training.
  • To evaluate student interest in a novel elective long-term care (LTC) externship.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to Bachelor of Science in Nursing students, incorporating elements of the Dementia Attitude Scale.
  • Survey questions assessed healthcare experience, attitudes towards older adults, comfort with PLWD, and willingness to develop geriatric/dementia skills.
  • Focus groups were conducted to explore desired curricular and clinical content for geriatrics education.

Main Results:

  • Seventy-six students completed the survey, with most reporting low interest and knowledge regarding older adults and PLWD.
  • Focus group participants indicated a desire for hands-on learning experiences.
  • Students identified specific training components that could enhance their attraction to geriatrics education.

Conclusions:

  • Findings from this study directly informed the creation and piloting of a new LTC externship.
  • The developed externship aims to bridge the gap in geriatric and dementia care training for nursing students.
  • This initiative seeks to enhance the pipeline of nurses prepared to care for aging populations and PLWD.
