Introduction: Due to demographic trends, caring for dementia sufferers is the subject of research by multidisciplinary research teams. In this paper, we declare the importance of increasing the knowledge, skills and competence of formal caregivers as a predictor of the quality of institutional care provided for dementia sufferers. Material and methods: In the presented study, we determine the subjective assessment of the level of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of formal caregivers in relation to the care of dementia sufferers. The research involved 46 formal caregivers in two specialist facilities that provide health and social care to dementia sufferers. In order to meet the objectives, we have chosen a quantitative method using a non-standard questionnaire of our own design. Results: We found that the questionnaire respondents positively assess their previous knowledge and practical skills in providing nursing care to dementia sufferers, yet declare an interest in continuing education. Conclusion: Preparation and implementation of continuing education of formal caregivers is the active part played by an educational institution in relation to the improvement of the quality of care provided to dementia sufferers and at the same time it is evidence of the link between theory and practice in professionally oriented study programs reflecting the currently expected demographic trends in society.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Brazilian long-term care (LTC) sector faced many challenges, which accentuated other common issues experienced by persons living with dementia (PLWD). The current pilot study evaluated staff perspectives regarding the care of institutionalized PLWD during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using an online survey, we collected the perspectives of 24 workers from seven long-term care facilities (LTCFs) located in São Paulo State, Brazil, about the impact of COVID-19 in caring for PLWD. Results highlight concerns about challenges related to following precautionary measures and the negative effects of social distancing on PLWD. Aspects related to workforce and staffing and person-centered care approaches were recognized by staff as important to provide good care for PLWD. Future research is needed to consider how to support LTCFs in achieving a balance between the protection and well-being of PLWD. [ Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 49 (5), 45–52.]
