Community building is necessary to help create a dementia-inclusive society. In this study, a one-of-a kind dementia education program based on mutual learning using instructional design was developed alongside community members and stakeholders. The purpose was to implement and evaluate this program and gain insight into dementia education for the community. A total of 118 individuals participated in the program; however, data of 80 participants (Male = 26, Female = 54), who completed a questionnaire before and after the program, were analyzed. The results showed a significant pre–post difference in mean total scores on the Attitudes Toward Dementia Scale (32.1 points pre-program vs. 33.7 points post-program). Nine necessary learning topics were identified. The program could successfully teach participants to take the perspectives of various other people, view dementia as something relevant to themselves, and think about specific ways of responding to people with dementia considering their feelings. This study recommends creating education programs using scenario stories that depict the desire of people with dementia to be a part of the community, using visual depictions to create a shared impression and facilitate mutual learning.

Public health nurses (PHNs) face difficulties supporting vulnerable individuals and families. On-the-job training (OJT) is essential for improving nurses' competencies.However, PHN managers lack the knowledge to systematically implement OJT. The aim of this study was to develop a hypothetical model to systematically promote OJT for PHNs through case conferences (CC). Literature review, based on an integrative approach, has three stages: (1) theoretical framework development, (2) literature review, and (3) modeling. Literature review from five databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Japan Medical Abstract Society) was conducted to identify the OJT process, its outcomes, and the conditions associated with OJT according to the theoretical framework. Based on 18 articles, this model progressed from "OJT process through CC," comprising the CC design, implementation, and evaluation to OJT produced "outcomes through CC." Outcomes included staff perception and behavior changes, improvements in client's condition, and staff turnover reductions. The OJT model involved "conditions for implementing CC as OJT" and "individual and organizational conditions." Future research should incorporate the social, political, and historical contexts of specific practice situations into the hypothetical model to help refine the model to be used in practice.
