Popis:	The purpose of this study is to clarify the practices of Certified Nurses in Dementia Nursing during the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) from two perspectives: 1) protecting elderly people with dementia from contracting the virus and 2) providing basic care for dementia to ensure the maintenance of cognitive function and comfort and safety. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to survey 386 Certified Nurses in Dementia Nursing working at hospitals in 23 prefectures where more than 30% of the population is 65 years old and over about their nursing practices and the measures they were taking during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was clarified that the certified nurses devised ways to prevent infection without undue imposition on people with dementia, and that they facilitated interactions with people and created a comfortable environment while paying attention to the prevention of infection.
