Chinese-Australian carers' perceived needs and preferences in planning to embed an iSupport for Dementia program in aged care services
CONCLUSIONS: Chinese-Australian carers' perceived needs and preferences in this study will inform the implementation of a culturally tailored iSupport program to be embedded in community aged care services provided by Chinese ethno-specific aged care organisations. Findings will also inform culturally and linguistically congruent iSupport programs for carers from other culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Australia.PMID:38415371 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13287 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Dementia in Australia: Clinical recommendations post-diagnosis
Australas J Ageing. 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.1111/ajag.13291. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe delivery of a dementia diagnosis, the information provided, and the practical advice and support arranged can have a long-lasting impact on patients and their families and deserves attention equal to that given to the assessment and investigation process. Patients and their families need a constructive yet sensitive conversation about the nature and cause of their difficulties, communicated in plain language, and tailored to their main concerns and needs. This conversation should lead to the provision of high-quality, easily accessi...

Evaluating a virtual reality dementia training experience using psychophysiological methods: A randomised controlled study
CONCLUSIONS: Virtual reality is more engaging than traditional training in highly experienced dementia care practitioners. Despite this, VR may not be superior to traditional training techniques to improve knowledge and attitude for many learners. A focus of future research in the area should be on how to capitalise on VR's greater emotional engagement so that Australia's nursing workforce is better equipped to care for the increasing number of people living with dementia.PMID:38406892 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13294 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Implicit attitudes towards dementia after education: Preliminary trial results from Japan
CONCLUSIONS: Although measuring implicit attitudes using IRAP is deemed not feasible for people in their 70s and older, the differences in interaction experience would be evidence supporting the validity of the measurements of implicit attitudes towards dementia. The results suggest that dementia-friendly education, using VR, improves implicit attitudes towards dementia.PMID:38357750 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13284 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)
