“…Our results are consistent with a recent study in South Korea, which showed that dementia knowledge reduced a negative behavioral intention through a positive cognitive attitude [14]. However, dementia knowledge was also shown to increase the negative behavioral intention through a negative affection and behavioral attitude towards dementia after controlling the variables in some studies [10,14,35].…”

“…Although two previous studies showed that dementia knowledge was signi cantly associated with attitudes towards persons with dementia [10,11], two studies found an insigni cant association between dementia knowledge and attitudes towards persons with dementia [12,13], making the association inconclusive. A recent study in South Korea on the relationship between dementia knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors found a positive attitude towards dementia reduced negative behaviors indirectly; whereas a negative behavioral attitude towards dementia indirectly increased negative behavior attitudes [14],…”

Background The rising prevalence of dementia is a global health issue due to the worldwide increase in the number of adults over the age of 65 years. Persons living with dementia often experience discrimination in their life; thus, building a dementia-friendly community is important for reducing biases towards this population. The relationship between dementia knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors towards persons with dementia are significant factors in creating a dementia-friendly community. However, limited research has prevented a better understanding of the relationships among these variables. This study aimed to examine the mediating effect of attitudes towards dementia on the relationship between dementia knowledge and behaviors towards persons with dementia. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey with participants recruited from Wanhua District, Taipei City using a non-probability sampling method. Data were collected regarding dementia knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors using the Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale (ADKS), Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire (ADQ), and two researcher-developed self-administered survey questions on unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia, respectively. The correlation between dementia knowledge, attitudes, and unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia was determined with Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Multiple linear regressions investigated predictors of unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia. A simple mediation model was used to examine the mediation effect of attitudes on the relationship between dementia knowledge and unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia. Results A total of 313 participants were surveyed and the mean age of the respondents was 53.24 years (SD = 17.20; range = 20 to 90 years). Scores for dementia knowledge, attitudes and unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia were significantly correlated. Higher scores for knowledge (β=-0.16, p < 0.01) and attitudes towards dementia (β=-0.32, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with lower scores for unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia. A significant mediating effect of attitudes towards dementia was observed. Conclusions Attitudes towards dementia was a significant mediator in the relationship between dementia knowledge and unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia. Our findings suggest that increasing public awareness and knowledge about dementia could help the general population develop better attitudes towards dementia, which could subsequently help improve behaviors towards persons with dementia.

“…Dementia is a degenerative brain disease that develops over the years, not a natural part of aging or mental illness (Alzheimer's Disease International, 2019; Boscart et al, 2019). A study conducted by Lim (2020) in South Korea reported that some participants considered dementia as being a part of the normal aging process and as senility rather than a disease. Lim (2020) also reported that such poor knowledge of dementia can have a negative effect on attitudes toward it.…”

However, participants with all three factors in this study shared a negative view of Q 8.…”

Aim: Older adult attitudes and perceptions of dementia can have a major impact on early diagnosis, efforts to prevent and appropriately treat it, as well as being a family burden. The aim of this study is to explore attitudes and perceptions of dementia of home-dwelling older adults using Q-methodology.Method: A total of 42 adults, age 65 or over, who live in South Korea ranked 37 Q statements about their attitudes and perceptions of dementia into A Q sort table grid. Results: The following three distinct viewpoints were extracted: (1) it is my responsibility to prevent and to care about dementia (family-centered view);(2) there are no ways to treat dementia (despairing views); and (3) dementia is a national responsibility (nation-centered view). Conclusion:Based on these results, central and local government and communities should work together with older adults to manage dementia and reflect these three viewpoints when developing systematic dementia management programs.

Purpose To examine the mediating effect of attitudes towards dementia on the relationship between dementia knowledge and behaviors towards persons with dementia. Participants and Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 313 adults (age ≤ 20 years). Participants were recruited using non-probability convenience sampling from medical clinics, community centers, and supermarkets located in the Wanhua District of Taipei City. Data were collected with the following self-report questionnaires: a demographic survey, validated instruments for dementia knowledge and attitudes towards dementia (assessed using the Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale and the Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire, respectively), and a researcher-developed survey on unfriendly behaviors towards persons with dementia. Results Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression analysis indicated that higher scores for dementia knowledge and more positive attitudes about dementia were significantly associated with lower levels of unfriendly behaviors towards persons living with dementia. Mediation analysis using a robust bootstrap test with 5000 samples indicated that attitudes toward dementia had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between dementia knowledge and unfriendly behaviors. Conclusion Our findings suggest that increasing public awareness and knowledge about dementia could help the general population develop better attitudes towards dementia, which could subsequently help improve behaviors towards persons living with dementia.
