Much of the UK’s ageing population lives in care homes, often with complex care needs including dementia. Optimal care requires strong clinical leadership, but opportunities for staff development in these settings are limited. Training using simulation can enable experiential learning in situ. In two nursing homes, Health Care Assistants (HCAs) received training in clinical communication skills (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation Education through Technology and Simulation, SETS: group training with an actor simulating scenarios); and dementia (A Walk Through Dementia, AWTD: digital simulation, delivered one-to-one). In this qualitative descriptive study, we evaluated the potential of this training to enhance HCAs’ clinical leadership skills, through thematic analysis of 24 semi-structured interviews with HCAs (before/after training) and their managers and mentors. Themes were checked by both interviewers. HCAs benefitted from watching colleagues respond to SETS scenarios and reported greater confidence in communicating with registered healthcare professionals. Some found role-play participation challenging. AWTD sensitised HCAs to the experiences of residents with dementia, and those with limited dementia experience gained a fuller understanding of the disease’s effects. Staffing constraints affected participation in group training. Training using simulation is valuable in this setting, particularly when delivered flexibly. Further work is needed to explore its potential on a larger scale.

“…[18] The videos used for the study were from the point of view of a person with dementia, with the use of editing technology to create agitation and perceptual distortions that are typically experienced with dementia. [6] By viewing these videos with the 360-degree video technology, an immersive experience of what it feels to have dementia was created.…”

Objective: This paper aims to look at raising nursing student awareness of how it feels to have dementia through the use of 360-degree video. We were particularly interested in raising awareness amongst nursing students perceptions of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia to promote holistic care provision guided by an empathetic understanding of how it feels to have dementia.Methods: We used a mixed methods approach to investigate nursing students’ awareness of how it feels to have dementia through the use of the 360-degree videos originally developed for a creative new media arts-exhibit at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute for raising dementia awareness. Data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively with thematic and content analyses. A focus group was conducted to explore participants’ awareness of how it feels to have dementia by viewing the 360-degree video, empathy towards people with dementia, and knowledge of dementia.Results: The 360-degree video is an arts-based knowledge-translation strategy that was used to raise nursing students’ awareness on behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. While the majority of the participants had some levels of awareness and understanding of dementia prior to the viewing of 360-degree video, they were nonetheless challenged by the content of the 360-degree video that led to new perspectives on dementia.Conclusions: The three themes identified in the thematic analysis of the focus group are understanding dementia from a new perspective, embodiment of dementia experience, and self-reflection and practice changes. These themes reflect the usefulness of 360-degree video as an arts-based knowledge translation strategy in raising dementia awareness in nursing students.

“…Other studies have tested whether viewing artist-produced photographs can improve the mood, well-being, and social interactions of people with dementia [34][35][36][37][38]. However, few projects have used photography as a tool for nursing education about dementia [39], and none that we could find have previously employed a photobook in an educational intervention.…”

Exploring nurse and nursing student experience of using an artist-produced photobook to learn about dementia

Background Improving understanding about dementia in nursing is a priority area for educators and policymakers. This is due to poor professional understanding about dementia and suboptimal healthcare practice. While many educational interventions exist, there has been a paucity of research which has considered the use of artist-produced photobooks to improve knowledge and understanding about dementia. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of an artist-produced photobook on nurses’ attitudes and beliefs about dementia. Results Following a thematic analysis of four focus group interviews with 22 nurses and nursing students from Northern Ireland, three themes emerged. Theme one was about how the artist-produced photobook helped participants to humanise the person living with dementia. Theme two related to how the artist-produced photobook supported participants to actively construct their own meanings about dementia based on their previous professional and personal experiences. Theme three explored how an artist-produced photobook could be successfully used to complement existing dementia education in the future. Conclusions Using an artist-produced photobook was an innovative way to learn about dementia for nurses and nursing students. The photobook functioned as a tool underpinned by arts-based pedagogy (ABP), supporting nurses to understand the person behind the dementia disease. As such, an artist-produced photobook has the potential to be a useful complementary resource for supporting professional education about dementia.
