Abstract:
Objective:To develop a comprehensive training curriculum to enhance the effective implementation of the national initiative promoting dementia care and prevention.Methods:The Delphi method was utilized in an expert consultation that included 44 participants.The initial draft of the training curriculum was developed based on the current state of dementia care and prevention.This draft was subsequently evaluated for its importance, feasibility, and ease of dissemination.Experts offered targeted modifications and additional recommendations.Results:The recovery rate of the expert consultation questionnaire was 95.5%, with a recovery validity rate of 90.9%.The expert authority coefficient was 0.91, and the Kendall's coordination coefficient( W)for expert scoring was 0.316, with a significance level of P<0.001.Four course modules were ultimately identified: the foundation of memory clinic work, the complete management practice skills, group counseling techniques for caregivers, and practical skills for caregivers.The importance of these modules was rated with a mean of 4.92 to 4.95, and the coefficient of variation ranged from 0.044 to 0.063.Each module had a mean value of 4.92 to 4.95, with a coefficient of variation of 0.044 to 0.063; the mean value for practicality was between 4.78 and 4.92, with a coefficient of variation of 0.055 to 0.098; and the mean value for ease of generalization ranged from 4.28 to 4.65, with a coefficient of variation from 0.140 to 0.203.The four modules comprised a total of 55 specific course content items, with the mean value for each item ranging from 4.76 to 5.00 and a coefficient of variation from 0.000 to 0.121.The mean value of usefulness assigned to each entry ranged from 4.55 to 4.98, with a coefficient of variation from 0.031 to 0.150.Additionally, the mean value for ease of propagation assigned to each entry ranged from 4.00 to 4.83, with a coefficient of variation from 0.091 to 0.245. Conclusions:The developed training curriculum, which comprises four course modules and 55 items, demonstrated consistently high levels of importance, practicality, and ease of dissemination.These findings indicate that the curriculum is well-aligned with national initiatives aimed at enhancing dementia care and prevention.
