Abstrakt: | A recent study conducted by researchers at University College Cork in Ireland aimed to measure the knowledge and attitudes of undergraduate occupational therapy students towards older adults with dementia. The study found that more advanced students demonstrated higher levels of dementia knowledge, but attitudes towards dementia remained similar across different year groups. Students with familial dementia experiences displayed significantly more positive attitudes. The results of this study could be used to inform and develop undergraduate occupational therapy programs in Ireland. [Extracted from the article] |
