Dementia Friends sessions for nursing students.
Nursing Older People 2015 November
All health and social care students must learn about dementia in the curriculum. This article explains how Dementia Friends sessions, which aim to raise awareness about dementia, were delivered in the students' induction at one university. The objective was for all new students to understand some important facts about dementia, thus addressing any misconceptions at an early stage and establishing a foundation for further learning. The sessions were evaluated through an analysis of written comments, which indicated that nursing students enjoyed the sessions and had learnt the five facts about dementia. Students intended to apply their learning through: changes in attitudes and interactions, raising awareness, volunteering, supporting people with dementia in the community, seeking further knowledge and personal support to their families. After this positive response, Dementia Friends sessions will continue to be delivered during induction for undergraduate health and social care students.
