The study proposes a mixed methods exploration of the impact of adult nurse and paramedic science students’ cultural heritage on their: understanding of dementia, provision of person-centred care, and intensions to work and care for people with dementia and older adults. The knowledge gained from this study will provide an understanding of the intersect of culture and dementia of future healthcare professionals.
The purpose of this study is to understand the intersect of culture and dementia for healthcare students to inform culturally sensitive and appropriate undergraduate education and positive socialisation of students into their profession with reference to dementia.
