Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on the development and application of dementia prevention education and program by identifying the degree of knowledge and attitude towards dementia of nursing students who have experienced as dementia partners. The participants were 157 nursing students who have experienced as dementia partners and analyzed by using SPSS 23.0 program. The participants showed knowledge toward dementia($9.77{\pm}2.55points$, range 0 ~ 15 points), attitude towards dementia($39.76{\pm}4.00$점, 0 points, range 0 ~ 60 points), and the relationship between knowledge and attitude towards dementia had a positive correlation (r = .213, p = .001). In conclusion, It is imperative to develop a variety of programs as well as drafting national policies that enable the cultivation of knowledge and attitude towards dementia.

본 연구의 목적은 치매파트너로서 활동을 경험한 간호학생의 치매에 대한 지식과 태도의 정도를 파악하여 치매예방교육 및 프로그램 개발과 적용에 대한 기초자료를 제공하기 위함이다. 치매파트너로서 활동을 경험한 간호학생 157명을 대상으로 하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 대상자들은 치매에 대한 지식수준이($9.77{\pm}2.55$점, 범위 0~15점), 치매에 대한 태도가($39.76{\pm}4.00$, 범위 0~60점)으로 나타났고, 치매 지식과 치매 태도간의 상관관계에서는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=.213, p=.001). 결론적으로 치매에 대한 지식과 태도를 함양하기 위해 다양한 프로그램 개발과 국가 차원의 다양한 정책이 이루어질 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
