Dementia Communication Training Program for Novice Home Care Workers
Sponsor: Tzu Chi University
This trial is testing two different training methods to help novice home care workers communicate better with people who have dementia. One method uses a real-time interactive virtual trainer; the other uses scenario-based group discussions. Researchers want to know which approach works better. This is a Phase NA study, meaning it is evaluating a training program rather than a drug or medical device.
You may qualify if
- Novice home care workers who had been employed in home care agencies for less than one year.
- ages ranging from 20 to 65 years,
- completed care worker training program
- Had not previously received any virtual trainer training.
- Taiwanese nationality
- provided informed consent to participate in the study.
You're excluded if
- home care workers who do not meet the inclusion criteria
