Education of Caregivers of Alzheimer's Patients
The Effect of Education Given to Caregivers of Alzheimer's Patients Registered With Home Health Services on Their Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Alzheimer's Disease: Randomized Controlled Study
Purpose of the Research: This study will be conducted to determine the effect of the education given to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients registered to home health services on their knowledge and attitudes towards Alzheimer's disease.
Hypotheses of the Research H01: The education given to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients registered to home health services does not affect the caregivers' level of knowledge about Alzheimer's disease.
H11: The education given to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients registered to home health services increases the caregivers' level of knowledge about Alzheimer's disease.
H02: The education given to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients registered to home health services does not affect the caregivers' attitudes towards Alzheimer's disease.
H12: The education given to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients registered to home health services positively affects the caregivers' attitudes towards Alzheimer's disease.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale
Time Frame: In the pre-test of the research, the "Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale" will be administered to the caregivers by the researcher, and the "Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale" will be administered again 1 month later.
|
The scale developed by Carpenter et al. (2009) was adapted to Turkish by Yılmaz and Çolak (2020).
The scale consists of 30 items and evaluates people's level of knowledge about Alzheimer's disease.
Scale items can be answered as true or false, and participants receive one point for each item they answer correctly.
The scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 0 and 30.
An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the level of knowledge is high.
While the difficulty index values of the scale items ranged between 0.24 and 0.75, the discrimination index was calculated above 0.10.
The test-retest reliability calculated to evaluate the reliability of the scale was found to be 0.81, and the Kuder-Richardson 20 coefficient was found to be 0.74.
|
In the pre-test of the research, the "Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale" will be administered to the caregivers by the researcher, and the "Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Scale" will be administered again 1 month later.
|
Dementia Attitude Scale
Time Frame: In the pre-test of the research, the "Dementia Attitude Scale" will be administered to the caregivers by the researcher, and the "Dementia Attitude Scale" will be administered again 1 month later.
|
The scale was developed by O'Connor and McFadden in 2010 and translated into Turkish by Çetinkaya et al.
Adapted from (2020).
The scale was used with university students and direct care workers.
During the creation of the scale, the expression "Alzheimer's disease and related diseases" was used in the scale expressions due to the terminological confusion between Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.
The scale is a 7-point Likert type, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
6 items of the scale, which consists of a total of 20 items, are reverse scored (2,6,8,9,16,17).
As the score obtained from the scale increases, supportive and accepting attitudes increase, while exclusionary attitudes decrease.
Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.83.
|
In the pre-test of the research, the "Dementia Attitude Scale" will be administered to the caregivers by the researcher, and the "Dementia Attitude Scale" will be administered again 1 month later.
