Popis: We evaluated an intervention designed to manage challenging behaviours of people with dementia. Framework analysis of interviews ( n = 21) showed the intervention modified practice and perceptions. The intervention ( n = 58; power calculation proposed n = 160 for medium effect) had no significant effect on attitudes to dementia for time ( p = .42) or care home ( p = .15). The Maslach burnout scores did not change significantly for person-centredness for time ( p = .83) or care home ( p = .29). Hope scores showed a significant effect post-intervention ( p = .004), but this was not maintained. No significant main effect was found for care home ( p = .36). Experiential learning enabled staff to experience benefits of person-centred care firsthand.
