Final year students on a BSc Hons Nursing programme in Scotland were supported to become Dementia Friends facilitators and develop interactive dementia awareness sessions for children from local schools. The children were invited to indicate phrases and images they associated with 'dementia' at the outset and end of the session. Analysis of the responses suggested that there were positive changes in the children's values and beliefs when thinking about a person living with dementia during the sessions. We suggest that peer learning is a valuable strategy to increase public and professional awareness about dementia and supports the development of graduate attributes.
苏格兰护理学荣誉理学士学位课程的最后一年学生得到支持，成为痴呆症友好大使，并为当地学校的孩子们开展互动式痴呆症认知课程。在课程开始和结束时，孩子们被邀请指出他们与“痴呆症”相关的短语和图像。对这些回答的分析表明，在课程中思考与痴呆症共存的人时，孩子们的价值观和信念有了积极的变化。我们认为同伴学习是提高公众和专业人士对痴呆症认知的一种有价值的策略，并有助于培养毕业生的特质。
