“…Minimising developed over time with repeated exposure and protected participants from exhaustion. However, Robinson and Cubit (2007) highlight difficulties associated with this including inadvertently placing students in risky situations without prior knowledge which was raised as a potential issue for staff in this study (i.e., blasé attitudes).…”

Research assessing the impact of inappropriate sexual behaviour (ISB) on staff working in dementia care is circumscribed, yet studies from comparable settings indicate that ISB appears uniquely challenging, particularly to personal and cultural values. This study explored staff experiences of ISB exhibited by older adults with a dementia. Fourteen staff working within an in-patient setting were interviewed. Participants’ experiences of ISB appeared underpinned by complex social and psychological processes. Shock, embarrassment and incomprehension were prominent when ISB was initially encountered. Knowledge of dementia, familiarity with patients and social norms were important in contextualising ISB and staff often minimised its impact by construing a lack of capacity. Feelings about ISB appeared equivocal and findings suggest that the effect of ISB should be routinely considered in preparing staff who work within dementia care.

“…Direct contact or immersion in practice without prior preparation was not sufficient as it can lead to feelings of inhibition and intimidation when interacting with people with dementia (Robinson & Cubit, 2007). All the studies that included both theoretical sessions and practice experience in their interventions showed a positive effect in both qualitative and quantitative data in relation to the levels of comfort when interacting with people with dementia.…”

“…In contrast, based on thematic analysis of focus group interviews Robinson and Cubit (2007) found that intimidation and fear were common feelings amongst students completing a 3-week placement in residential elder care facilities without prior training or preparation. From the weekly focus group discussions, students reported feeling inhibited in communicating with residents as well as with experienced mentors, therefore their support needs were not met.…”

“…For instance, Robinson and Cubit (2007) reported the findings from students' experience during a placement in an elder care setting without indicating what the aims/objectives of the interventions were.

ABSTRACT ObjectivesIn an aging society, the number of people living with dementia is rapidly increasing. Health care students receive little input on dementia during their pre-registration education, hence there is a requirement to improve education to work with this client group. The review aimed to focus on education on working with people with dementia for pre-registration healthcare students. DesignA comprehensive review of the literature. Data SourcesOnline databases Medline, PsychInfo, CINAHL, Science Direct and PubMed were used. Review MethodsThe studies were selected according to the following criteria: main focus on education and training on working with people with dementia in pre-registration healthcare programs. Reports that described a training program but did not include evaluation were excluded. For inclusion, studies had to be published in English between January 2007 and March 2014. Identified papers were screened and reviewed by the three authors.

Most studies were based in North America, predominantly in nursing and medical education. Educational interventions chiefly aimed to improve students' knowledge, comfort level and attitudes towards people with dementia. It was shown that theoretical input alone did not give students the necessary skills to work with people with dementia.Educational interventions were most effective when a practice ba...
