| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to understand the situations around the dementia care provided by nurses for elderly patients with dementia in hospitals, and also examine factors influencing the execution of this care to alleviate ethical dilemmas among nurses. We created a dementia care check list, where nurses rate care items in terms of ‘importance’ and ‘frequency of use’. The analysis yielded 29 items grouped into five factors for the ‘importance’ of dementia care and 28 items grouped into six factors for the ‘frequency of use’. The reliability and construct validity of the items was confirmed. For the relationship between ‘frequency of use’ and demographic characteristics, nurses who reported that they had specialized knowledge as well as nurses who reported that they had no help from superiors and colleagues showed higher frequencies of use.
