“…Nonetheless, there is an important relationship between years of study and nursing students' knowledge of dementia. These results seem to be consistent with previous studies, which found the length of the study was one factor influencing the level of knowledge about dementia (22,27). In contrast, a previous study found that female students had a higher overall knowledge score than male students (5).…”

“…Despite this, numerous studies have revealed that most nursing students lack a basic understanding of dementia, including how it develops, how it can be prevented, and how it can be treated (21,31). Indeed, the students perceived dementia as associated with a "crazy" stigma (22). Furthermore, the qualitative study findings indicate that nursing students believe they are not qualified to care for dementia patients and do not get to know these patients (19).…”

Introduction: Providing care for vulnerable people, including older adults with dementia, that is safe and efficient is a significant factor in improving their health. This study aims to determine the knowledge and attitudes of undergraduate nursing students regarding dementia in older adults. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among 126 undergraduate students at a Malaysian university using purposive sampling. The respondents’ knowledge of dementia was measured using the Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale (ADKS), and their attitudes towards dementia were measured using the Adolescent Attitudes towards Dementia. The scale of P<0.05 was statistically significant, and the data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 26.0 for Windows. Results: The results showed that 78.6% of undergraduate nursing students had higher knowledge of dementia than 92.9% had positive attitudes toward dementia. There is a significant relationship between years of study and knowledge of dementia among UKM nursing students (χ2= 14.93, p = 0.001). Conclusion: Most undergraduate students have higher knowledge of and positive attitudes towards dementia. A better understanding of the disease process improves the quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers. Longitudinal and comparative studies were suggested for further research.

Background: To date, there is a wealth of evidence that patients have been invited to take an active role in prompting hand hygiene of hospital staff, but there is insufficient evidence on what happens in practice and whether this is acceptable to both staff and patients. Objective: To understand the role of patient involvement in the promotion of hand hygiene amongst nurses in the hospital setting. Methods: This qualitative interpretive study comprised of focus group discussions conducted with nurses (n = 36) and interviews with patients (n = 21). Data from nurses were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Data from patients were analysed by critical incident analysis. Results: Experiences from nurses and patients can be summarised into four themes: 1) both nurses and patients acknowledged the patients’ right to ask, 2) both groups reported concerns that asking about hand hygiene could have an adverse impact on the nurse–patient relationship, 3) patients reported negative reactions from nurses when promoting hand hygiene and 4) patients reported that the promotion of hand hygiene was not only offensive and upsetting for nurses but also embarrassing for patients. Conclusions: Findings from this study suggest that patients are expected to adopt a passive role in infection control and remain silent when observing non-compliance to hand hygiene within the hospital setting, to avoid being embarrassed, offensive and upsetting nurses.
