This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a dementia and disability simulation (DDS) program on dementia knowledge, attitude, empathy, and activity design skills for seniors among college nursing students.
This two-group randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a dementia and disability simulation program on dementia knowledge, attitude, empathy, and activity design skills for seniors among college nursing students.
The interventional group will receive a 6-week dementia and disability simulation program of activity design for seniors.
The control group will receive 6 weeks of regular dementia course and group discussion of activity design for seniors with no dementia and disability simulation.
Both groups will be assessed for their dementia knowledge, attitude, empathy and activity design skills for seniors at baseline, week 12, and week 18.
