A pre-post comparative study demonstrates improved attitudes among healthcare students towards dementia, suggesting better education strategies.
Audiovisual game-based education programs effectively enhance healthcare students’ attitudes toward dementia. This single-arm study aimed to adapt and translate an audiovisual game-based educational program and evaluate its effectiveness in improving Indonesian healthcare students’ attitudes towards people living with dementia (PLWD). A total of 308 nursing and public health students participated in a 90-minute program. Demographic data, attitudes, dementia knowledge, ageism, and helping intention were assessed pre- and post-intervention and analyzed using paired t-tests. The participants’ mean age was 20.3 ± 0.7 years, and 87% were women. Attitudes, dementia knowledge, and helping intention improved significantly (all p < 0.001) post-intervention. The program can effectively improve attitudes toward PLWD, making healthcare settings more supportive and dementia-friendly. It can be used as a healthcare education method to enhance attitudes toward PLWD, dementia knowledge, and helping intention. Future studies should utilize game-based education to enhance the care for PLWD.
