Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to adapt the SCIDS into the Turkish version and validate it in the social and cultural context of Turkey to assess staff competency in dementia care in the long-term care setting.

Detailed Description

Most existing tools measuring care adequacy are targeted at family caregivers. Tools targeting formal dementia carers have focused primarily on dementia care knowledge, care attitudes and care workloads separately. There is less research investigating the assessment of competence in dementia care among formal healthcare staffs. There is no validated tool to accurately assess staff competency in dementia care in the long-term care setting in Turkey. Schepers et al. developed a scale dedicated to assessing Sense of Competence in Dementia Care Staff, including relationship building, maintaining personality, professionalism, and care challenges. Today, the scale has been used to evaluate the effectiveness of training programs and has demonstrated its applicability.
