BACKGROUND
Clinical practice guidelines for dementia highlight the importance of providing patient-centered care. This can be achieved by improving health professionals' attitudes and knowledge toward people with dementia.
OBJECTIVE
Quantitatively evaluate the impact of a virtual dementia experience on medical and pharmacy students' knowledge and attitudes toward people with dementia.
METHODS
A non-randomized controlled study from September-October 2016. The intervention group received a 1.5-hour multisensory, virtual simulation of light, sound, color, and visual content to experience the cognitive and perceptual difficulties faced by people with dementia. Controls participated in the standard curriculum only. All students were invited to complete the 20-item Dementia Attitudes Scale (DAS) pre- and post-intervention.
RESULTS
A total of 278 students (n = 64 medical, n = 214 pharmacy) were analyzed (n = 80 intervention, n = 198 control). The majority of students were female (n = 184, 66.2%), with an average age of 22.5 years. The intervention improved the DAS total score and subdomains of comfort and knowledge (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
The intervention had a positive impact on medical and pharmacy students' knowledge and attitudes toward people with dementia.
背景
痴呆症临床实践指南强调提供以患者为中心的护理的重要性。这可以通过改善卫生专业人员对痴呆症患者的态度和知识来实现。
目的
定量评估虚拟痴呆体验对医学和药学学生对痴呆症患者的知识和态度的影响。
方法
一项非随机对照研究，于 2016 年 9 月至 10 月进行。干预组接受了 1.5 小时的多感官、虚拟模拟光、声、色和视觉内容，以体验痴呆症患者面临的认知和感知困难。对照组仅参加标准课程。所有学生均被邀请在干预前后完成 20 项项痴呆症态度量表（DAS）。
结果
共分析了 278 名学生（n=64 名医学，n=214 名药学）（n=80 名干预，n=198 名对照）。大多数学生为女性（n=184，66.2%），平均年龄为 22.5 岁。干预提高了 DAS 总分和舒适度及知识子领域的分数（p<0.001）。
结论
该干预对医学和药学学生对痴呆症患者的知识和态度产生了积极影响。
