認知症サポーター養成講座受講後の看護大学生の変化

抄録

In 2022, as Japan continues to experience rapid aging, approximately one in every 3.6 elderly individuals is either living with dementia or considered to be at risk. In response to this, initiatives such as the "Dementia Supporter" program have been launched to promote community-based dementia care. At University A's Department of Nursing, students attend the Dementia Supporter Training Course to deepen their understanding of the elderly and contribute to the local community. This study examined the learning outcomes of students who participated in the course. The findings revealed that the students achieved four out of the five expectations outlined by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for dementia supporters. Furthermore, even among students who gave different responses in the survey, common areas of learning were identified, as well as insights gained from unique individual perspectives.
