Nursing staff could be classified into four latent profiles according to their ADK level (p < 0.05), namely, the 'Low ADK group', 'Medium ADK group', 'Medium-high ADK group', and 'High ADK group'. Age, education, experience in AD care and training in ADK were the main factors influencing the classification of the nursing staff's ADK level.
