“…Family carers learn largely by trial and error, active information seeking, application of previous knowledge or skills and being guided by others. 14 Similarly, unregulated care workers/assistants, 15 as well as health care students, 16 gain knowledge through experience, in addition to more formal training opportunities.…”

Building dementia knowledge globally through the Understanding Dementia Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)

The prevalence of dementia is escalating world-wide and knowledge deficits remain a barrier to community inclusiveness and quality care. The need for quality, comprehensive education has been identified as a key priority for global action plans on dementia. The Understanding Dementia Massive Open Online Course (UDMOOC) offers the potential to improve dementia knowledge globally. Completion rates for the UDMOOC (2016–2017) were on average 42% of enrolments, and 69% of participants care or have cared for people with dementia. The current study shows baseline dementia knowledge was positively related to previous learning about dementia from various types of exposure to the condition including having family members and/or working with people with the condition, and having undertaken dementia education. However, knowledge of all participant groups showed substantial improvements after completion of the UDMOOC. This was shown regardless of educational background and previous experience of dementia, and group differences after completing the UDMOOC were minimised. The UDMOOC is therefore an effective knowledge translation strategy to improve dementia knowledge for a diverse, international learner group.

“…Education is considered an attribute of patient-centered care [67], and many outreach intervention studies have examined the effects of education and training on patients, community health workers and students who participate in outreach projects. Community outreach programs provide education to raise awareness about specific health matters, available services and the importance of various services [13,67]. Future outreach research needs to emphasize education as one of the key attributes of patient-centered care in primary care settings.…”

“…Therefore, to better understand and broaden knowledge about outreach, it is necessary to review the research on it. Although meta-analysis and systematic reviews using secondary data as an accumulation of outreach research are also increasing, there are some limitations to such studies; their strict methodology tends to focus on a specific topic or knowledge of a few experts, thus failing to cover the studies comprehensively [13,14].…”

Outreach programs are considered a key strategy for providing services to underserved populations and play a central role in delivering health-care services. To address this challenge, knowledge relevant to global health outreach programs has recently been expanded. The aims of this study were to analyze the knowledge structure and understand the trends in aspects over time and across regions using text network analysis with NetMiner 4.0. Data analysis by frequency, time and region showed that the central keywords such as patient, care, service and community were found to be highly related to the area, target population, purpose and type of services within the knowledge structure of outreach. As a result of performing topic modeling, knowledge structure in this area consisted of five topics: patient-centered care, HIV care continuum, services related to a specific disease, community-based health-care services and research and education on health programs. Our results newly identified that patient-centered care, specific disease and population have been growing more crucial for all times and countries by the examination of major trends in health-care related outreach research. These findings help health professionals, researchers and policymakers in nursing and public health fields in understanding and developing health-care-related outreach practices and suggest future research direction.

“…A third approach strives to provide a view of what it feels like to live with dementia [22,34,53,95], for example through a frst-person virtual reality program [53,95]. Often, the target of these interventions are college students [29,38,39,71,121], in particular individuals studying to become health care professionals [17,22,33,47,52,53,72,73]. The goal with intervening during the training of students in health felds is twofold.…”

“…The World Health Organization describes an "urgent need" for improving awareness and understanding of dementia, "across all levels of society" [84]. One segment of society that has received special emphasis in past work seeking to improve awareness and understanding of dementia are college students [38,39,71], and individuals studying to become health care professionals in particular [17,33,52,53,72,73]. Students (including but extending beyond computer scientists, engineers, designers, informaticists and information professionals) are an important population to target for attitudinal change and improvement in their understanding of dementia given that they are preparing for a variety of careers and opportunities where they may interact with this population.…”

Negative attitudes shape experiences with stigmatized conditions such as dementia, from afecting social relationships to infuencing willingness to adopt technology. Consequently, attitudinal change has been identifed as one lever to improve life for people with stigmatized conditions. Though recognized as a scaleable approach, social media has not been studied in terms of how it should best be designed or deployed to target attitudes and understanding of dementia. Through a mixed methods design with 123 undergraduate college students, we study the efect of being exposed to dementia-related media, including content produced by people with dementia. We selected undergraduate college students as the target of our intervention, as they represent the next generation that will work and interact with individuals with dementia. Our analysis describes changes over the period of two weeks in attitudes and understanding of the condition. The shifts in understanding of dementia that we found in our qualitative analysis were not captured by the instrument we selected to assess understanding of dementia. While small improvements in positive and overall attitudes were seen across all interventions and the control, we observe a diferent pattern with negative attitudes, where transcriptions of content produced by people with dementia signifcantly reduced negative attitudes. The discussion presents implications for supporting people with dementia as content producers, doing so in ways that best afect attitudes and understanding by drawing on research on cues and interactive media, and supporting students in changing their perspectives towards people with dementia.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI).
