Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Neuroscience Education
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Dementia research predominantly focuses on adults, neglecting children's perspectives.
  • Understanding children's attitudes toward dementia is crucial due to dementia's societal impact and early education's influence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess attitudes toward dementia in Spanish primary school children.
  • To examine the psychometric properties of a novel questionnaire for assessing children's dementia attitudes.
  • To identify factors influencing children's dementia attitudes and evaluate social desirability's impact.

Main Methods:

  • A 23-item questionnaire, the Spanish Children's Attitudes Toward Dementia Questionnaire, was developed and validated.
  • Data collected from 8-11 year olds in Madrid, Spain, using the questionnaire and a social desirability scale.
  • Exploration of factors like cohabitation with grandparents influencing attitudes.

Main Results:

  • Data collection ongoing, with 164 participants recruited from 3 schools as of July 2025.
  • Analysis pending, with results anticipated for publication in 2027.
  • The study is currently unfunded, with data collection concluding January 2026.

Conclusions:

  • This study offers a novel approach to understanding children's dementia attitudes.
  • Findings may guide the development of targeted educational interventions for dementia awareness in schools.
  • Results could support integrating dementia education into primary school curricula.
