Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of a case-based dementia program for nursing staff in long-term care hospitals on their knowledge, attitude, and nursing practice towards people with dementia. Methods: A non-equivalent control-group pretest-posttest design was used. Nursing staff who attended the education program were included in an experimental group (n=30), and their knowledge, attitudes and nursing practice toward dementia were compared with nursing staff in a control group (n=30). The data were collected from July 21 to August 21, 2018. The experimental group received the case-based dementia program 4 times, scheduled once a week, with each session lasting 60 minutes. Test measures were completed before and after the 4 week intervention period for all participants. The data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk test, descriptive statistics, x test, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test with the IBM SPSS 23.0 program. Results: After the intervention, the knowledge of dementia (z=-4.86, p<.001), attitudes toward dementia (t=-3.04, p=.003), and dementia nursing practices (z=-4.55, p<.001) were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. Conclusion: The study findings indicate that this program could be effective on nursing staff in long-term care hospitals to increase their knowledge, attitudes and nursing practice toward patients with dementia.
