Relationship of care staff attitudes with social well-being and challenging behavior of nursing home residents with dementia: a cross sectional study.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates a relationship between attitudes of care staff and resident well-being. The results indicate that it is important to address attitudes towards residents with dementia in the education of (future) care staff. Care processes may also be improved by focusing on the attitudes of care staff. In this way, the well-being of residents with dementia can potentially be improved as well.
