42/100

✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 42 out of 100. Disparities

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

78% of students agreed or strongly agreed that Time for Dementia had increased their knowledge of psychosocial issues, and 69% enjoyed the programme. The multiple regression analysis found satisfaction was statistically significantly higher for students who completed more visits; took part after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; were of Black or Asian ethnicities (compared to White British/European); and were relatively older. The themes related to the best aspects of the programme were that Time for Dementia provides relational learning, understanding the impact of dementia on family and thinking psychosocially. Improvements include preferred programme structure, the need for clarity of expectations and addressing barriers to learning. This study supports the value of Time for Dementia as assessed by students. Key considerations to ensure satisfaction include the fidelity of programme experience and clear expectations.

Why it matters

This cross-sectional study found that most students in a dementia education programme reported increased knowledge of psychosocial issues and enjoyed the programme. It addresses education and satisfaction, not treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
