Abstract:
Eighteen family nurse practitioner students completed the Developing Empathic Experienced Providers dementia curriculum improvement project. The purpose was to examine the effects of a multicomponent curriculum designed to develop providers willing to work with older adults and to identify curriculum gaps. The project statistically and practically improved dementia knowledge, t (17) = 8.883, p ≤ .001, d = 2.221, and identified knowledge gaps in pharmacology and treatment content through pre- and postcontent evaluations. Minor improvements in attitude and intention to work with geriatric patients were identified using the Willingness to Work With Elderly People Scale.
