| Abstrakt: | Music-based interventions are acknowledged to be accessible and beneficial to people living with dementia. As part of an over-arching research project exploring the contributions of person-centered caregiver singing (PCCS) intervention to caregiver's provision of care, this study aimed to explore caregiver's experiences of a PCCS training program. 8 caregivers across 2 care homes in South Africa participated in 4 iterative participatory cycles aimed at refining the training protocol. We completed a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews of caregivers' experiences of the training. 3 themes emerged: workshop components contributed to positive learning experiences; caregivers' increased knowledge and insight into dementia, music, and personhood; and caregivers' enhanced self-efficacy which encompassed their emotional wellbeing, self-awareness, and confidence. Our study highlights caregivers' self-efficacy, self-hood, and personhood as valuable benefits in person-centered care training. Caregivers experienced training as both professionally and personally beneficial. While PCCS supported a shift toward a person-centered care approach, further research would help establish approaches to support sustainability of PCCS training and use in wider contexts.
