Objectives: The purpose of this study was to contribute to develope dental health intervention standard curriculum for dementia patients by identifying the extent of knowledge, attitudes and educational needs toward dementia in the dental hygiene department students. Methods: The study was conducted in the students of the dental hygiene department in colleges and universities, nationwide (from the first year students to the 3rd or 4th year students) for approximately 2 months from March to April, 2018. Among them, 545 students were selected as the subjects for the final analysis. Results: 91.0% of the subjects were not currently receiving education on dementia. The research on the factors to impact the dementia education needs of the subjects showed that the dementia education necessity (p<0.001) and the dementia attitude (p<0.001) had statistically significant effects on the educational needs on dementia. Conclusions: It is considered that the standard education curriculum for the dental health intervention for dementia patients in the department of dental hygiene should be developed and disseminated. This will provide a basis for the dental hygienists to be equipped with the relevant expertise in the intervention in the dental health of dementia patients in the future.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was first to identify knowledge about, attitude toward, and educational needs for dementia in certified caregivers; secondly, to understand the relationships among those variables; and thirdly, to provide base-line data for education program development. Methods: The participants in this study were 670 certified caregivers who were working in nursing homes or care hospitals throughout the whole of the country and engaged in education programs for improvement of their professional abilities. Collected data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA, Duncan, and Pearson's correlation coefficients with the SPSS 18.0 for Windows Program. Results: The scores for knowledge about, attitude toward, and educational needs for dementia were $14.12{\pm}2.83$ out of 20, $42.27{\pm}5.54$ out of 50 (item mean 4.22), and $121.51{\pm}22.13$ out of 160 (item mean 3.79) respectively. There were statistically significant positive correlations between knowledge and attitude (r=.238, p<.001), educational needs (r=.083, p=.032), and attitude and educational needs (r=.244, p<.001). Conclusion: Tailored and continuous educational programs for certified caregivers that can improve knowledge about the causes and symptoms of dementia should be developed. Nurses and professors who are experts in dementia should be on the front lines of education for caregivers.

Because the psychophysical symptoms of hearing loss and dementia in the elderly are very similar, untrained healthcare professionals in dementia facilities can easily overlook a severity of hearing loss in their patients. The present study identifies their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on hearing loss using a survey whether they may help hearing problem of the patients with dementia. A total of 29 health-care professionals responded to the KAP survey. Also, 2 family members participated. The results showed that most of the nurses and caregivers in elderly medical welfare facilities who worked with dementia patients did not have knowledge of their hearing loss. Even the facility managers did not know how to conduct hearing tests for their patients although they did recognize that some of their patients had a hearing loss. Eventually, actual practice was not possible at this moment by the professionals. However, our respondents did have a positive attitude toward screening for hearing loss and help their patients with dementia wear hearing aids if a clinical guideline was provided. We suggest to develop clear and precise clinical guidelines of the hearing screening test for the dementia patients due to the interrelationship between dementia and hearing loss. When these guidelines apply to elderly residents in a medical welfare facility, early diagnosis and treatment of their sensory loss will help alleviate their dementia as well.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships between knowledge of dementia care, attitude toward dementia and person-centered care among nurses in geriatric hospitals. Methods: Participants were 115 nurses from the seven geriatric hospitals. Data were collected from September $5^{th}$ through $21^{st}$ in 2018 and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Person-centered care was significantly different according to satisfaction with income, career of geriatric hospital, application of their opinions, and the satisfaction with hospital managers, administrators and nurse managers. Also person-centered care showed a significant positive correlation with the attitude toward dementia. Predictors of person-centered care were the satisfaction with hospital managers and the attitude toward dementia, which explained 23.0% of the variance. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the attitude toward dementia and the satisfaction with the hospital organization were related to the person-centered care in geriatric hospitals. Therefore, the strategies to improve the attitude towards dementia should be carried out to enhance the person-centered care among nurses in geriatric hospital.

본 연구는 중년층의 치매지식, 태도 및 치매예방교육 요구도를 파악하여 중년층의 치매예방을 위한 지식 향상과 긍정적 태도 강화를 통한 교육프로그램 개발과 지역사회 적용에 기초자료로 제공하고자 시도하였다. N시에 거주하는 40세~64세의 중년층 218명을 대상으로 2018년 10월 15일부터 11월 30일까지 자료를 수집하였다. 자료분석 방법은 빈도와 백분율, t-test, ANOVA, 사후검증은 Scheffé 검정, Pearson's correlation coefficients로 분석하였다. 연구결과 중년층의 치매지식 평균점수는 중간이상 수준(9.13±2.20)이었다. 치매에 대한 정답률이 가장 높은 문항은 '치매는 병이다' 88.1%이었고 '치매는 내과, 신경과, 정신과 질환 등의 병에 의해 걸린다' 30.3%은 가장 낮게 나타났다. 치매에 대한 태도(34.33±5.69), 치매예방교육 요구도(23.58±3.46)는 중간 이상 수준으로 나타났다. 치매에 대한 태도와 치매예방교육 요구도((r=.275, p<.000) 간의 통계적으로 유의한 양적 상관관계를 나타냈다. 결론적으로 치매에 대한 긍정적인 태도는 치매예방 교육요구와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 중년층의 치매관련 체계화된 교육 프로그램 개발과 지역사회와 국가가 함께 상호 협력하여 치매에 대한 바람직한 정책 개선방안이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 한국과 일본의 노인입소시설 케어워커를 대상으로 노인에 대한 태도 및 치매지식이 치매에 대한 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 검증하였으며 나아가 치매에 대한 태도를 결정하는 요인에 있어 한일 간에 차이가 있는지 비교 분석 하였다. 조사는 한국의 케어워커 320명, 일본의 케어워커 350명을 대상으로 하였으며 설문지를 활용한 우편조사방법으로 이루어졌다. 자료 분석에는 t-test, 다중회귀분석을 활용하였으며 이에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 한일 간에 노인에 대한 태도 및 치매지식, 치매에 대한 태도를 비교한 결과 치매지식에서는 유의미한 차이가 없었으나 치매에 대한 태도와 노인에 대한 태도는 한국에 비해 일본의 케어워커가 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 치매에 대한 태도에 상대적으로 영향력이 큰 변인을 살펴보면 한국은 치매지식(β=.305 p<0.001), 일본은 노인에 대한 태도(β=.348 p<0.001)라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 태도와 치매지식은 한일 양국에서 공통적으로 치매에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 나타났다.
