A Study on the Effectiveness of Dementia Education Program for Volunteer Workers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is an one-group pretest- and posttest pre-experimental design intended to verify the effectiveness of dementia education program on dementia attitude and dementia nursing self-efficacy in volunteer workers. This education program was provided for 15 volunteer workers from Jul. 20 to Aug. 30, 2018. This program was given one session in a week (five sessions in total). As a result, dementia attitude (DAS : Dementia Attitudes Scale) was not significant statistically with total score (pretest M± SD=90.07±19.32)(posttest M± SD=92.93±16.10), stabilization score (pretest M± SD=53.00±11.8)(posttest M± SD=55.27±0.95), and knowledge score (pretest M± SD=37.07±9.54)(posttest M± SD=37.67±10.19), but showed a slight improvement in mean score. This result suggests that the program is a useful one as it provides the volunteer workers looking after the elderly with dementia with stable volunteer activities based on knowledge. dementia nursing self-efficacy (Inventory of Geriatrem Nursing Self Efficacy, IGNSE) was not significant statistically, but the mean score declined slightly (pretest M± SD=45.33±10.78)(posttest M± SD=44.93±10.79). This result shows that self-efficacy improvement for volunteer workers needs to be considered while developing a program. Therefore, dementia education program appeared as a useful program for the effective activity of volunteer workers taking care of the elderly with dementia. But the educational contents are needed to improve the self-efficacy for dementia when developing a program and to generalize this, the number of subjects has to be secured.
