Abstract
Education that enables direct care workers to provide person-centered care approaches to older adults with dementia is necessary to optimize quality of life and reduce unnecessary antipsychotic medication use in long-term care settings. A quasi-experimental repeated measure project design evaluated the effectiveness of a dementia training program (one of several interventions implemented to reduce antipsychotic medication rates) by measuring the perceived level of self-efficacy before the training, immediately after the training and four to six weeks after completing the training.
