Study summary

This study consists of two phases: an observational phase and a single-arm interventional phase. In Phase 1, qualitative interviews will be conducted to explore the decision-making challenges faced by second-year students in a two-year undergraduate program who are approaching graduation when providing care for people with dementia. In Phase 2, a single-arm intervention will be implemented using an interactive web-based digital clinical decision support training platform. The following research questions will be examined:

  1. Does the interactive web-based digital clinical decision support training platform significantly improve students' decision-making competency in providing assistance with activities of daily living for people with dementia?
  2. Does the interactive web-based digital clinical decision support training platform significantly improve students' judgment competency in managing behavioral problems associated with dementia?
  3. Does the interactive web-based digital clinical decision support training platform significantly improve students' competency in supporting family caregivers experiencing caregiving burden and in connecting them with appropriate resources?

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Dementia Care Professional Competency Assessment Scale

    1. The Dementia Care Professional Competency Assessment Scale was developed in our previous research supported by the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology (Grant No. 106-2511-S-255-002-MY3) to assess dementia care competency among students. 2. The original scale contains nine subscales with 74 items. In this study, three subscales comprising 33 items are used. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater dementia care competency.

    Time frame: Baseline and after completion of all training modules (up to 18 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Problem solving, Teamwork Competency Assessment Scale

    1. The Dementia Care Professional Competency Assessment Scale was developed in our previous research supported by the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology (Grant No. 106-2511-S-255-002-MY3) to assess dementia care competency among students. 2. The scale contains 22 items, including 10 items assessing problem-solving competency and 12 items assessing teamwork competency. Higher scores indicate greater problem-solving and teamwork competency.

    Time frame: Baseline and after completion of all training modules (up to 18 weeks)

  2. Participants' Experiences and Feedback on the Training Program

    Students will complete a feedback form to provide their perceptions and experiences regarding the interactive web-based care decision support training program. The form includes open-ended questions regarding their learning experiences, perceived usefulness of the training, difficulties encountered, and suggestions for improvement. Qualitative responses will be analyzed to explore participants' experiences and perspectives regarding the training program.

    Time frame: After completion of all training modules (up to 18 weeks)
