Knowledge gains and intent to change practice patterns after the Leveraging Existing Abilities in Dementia (LEAD)™ Training Program.
Dementia (London, England)(2019)
摘要
Few investigations have examined dementia training programs for rehabilitation professionals. To address this, the Leveraging Existing Abilities in Dementia (LEAD) program was developed and examined with a pilot study. LEAD addressed dementia knowledge; the Strength-Based Approach; strategies for communication, recognizing behaviors, and learning techniques; and documentation. Participants completed pre-program, post-program, and three-month follow-up questionnaires assessing confidence, practice patterns, and dementia knowledge. Confidence and use of treatment strategies increased through the three-month follow-up and dementia knowledge significantly increased following training. LEAD positively impacted rehabilitation professionals' knowledge, confidence, and use of evidence-based treatment strategies. Implications of LEAD and future research are discussed.
