Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to identify variables associated with dementia attitudes among Korean dementia caregivers and to determine the effect size of the association between these variables and dementia attitudes.
Methods:A meta-analysis was conducted by analysing 29 master's and doctoral theses and journal articles published in Korea.
Results:Four distinct groups were identified among the variables: those related to practice, personality, psychological aspects of the job, and knowledge. The largest effect size was found for practice (effect size, ESr=.51), personality (ESr=.38), job-related psychological (ESr=.24), and knowledge (ESr=.17).
Conclusion:The results of this study can be useful in developing management and education programs to improve dementia attitudes in caregivers, taking into account variables related to dementia attitudes.
