英国阿尔茨海默氏症协会两年前推出了“痴呆症之友”计划，目的是教育公众他们可以做些什么来改善痴呆症患者的生活。该项目的目的是为北方一所高等教育机构的整个一年级护理本科生举办一场由阿尔茨海默氏症协会撰写的为期两小时的“痴呆症友好社区研讨会”。爱尔兰。该方案交付后，学生们被要求完成一份简短的问卷调查，了解他们在痴呆症友好社区方案之前和之后对痴呆症护理的知识和信心。共有322名护理本科一年级学生参加了老年痴呆症友好社区方案。其中，304个返回的问卷，31.25%的学生表示他们的认知改善痴呆症的知识是“好”，而49.01%的学生表示他们的认知改善痴呆症的知识是“非常好”，13.49%的学生表示他们的认知改善痴呆症的知识是“优秀”。在与痴呆症患者接触的信心方面，31.91%表示“良好”改善，40.79%表示“非常好”改善，11.84%表示“优秀”改善。老年痴呆症友好社区方案得到了本科生的积极评价，因为它增强了与照顾老年痴呆症患者有关的知识和信心。
The 'dementia friends' programme was launched by the Alzheimer's Society in the UK two years ago with the purpose of educating members of the public about the things they can do which can enhance the lives of people living with dementia. The aim of this project was to deliver a two-hour 'Dementia Friendly Community Workshop' written by the Alzheimer's Society, to an entire cohort of first-year undergraduate nursing students in one Higher Education Institutions in Northern Ireland. Following delivery of the programme, students were asked to complete a short questionnaire on their knowledge and confidence in relation to dementia care before and after the Dementia Friendly Community programme. A total of 322 undergraduate first-year nursing students took part in the Dementia Friendly Community programme. Of these, 304 returned questionnaires; 31.25% of students stated their perceived improvement in dementia knowledge was 'good' while 49.01% stated their perceived improvement in dementia knowledge was 'very good' and 13.49% stated their perceived improvement in dementia knowledge was 'excellent'. In relation to confidence in engaging with people with dementia, 31.91% stated 'good' improvement, 40.79% stated 'very good' improvement and 11.84% stated 'excellent' improvement. The Dementia Friendly Community programme was positively reviewed by the undergraduate students as it enhanced knowledge and confidence in relation to care of someone living with dementia.
