Dementia Management Training Programme for Primary Health Care Providers
Sponsor: Fujian Medical University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of a dementia management competency training program for primary healthcare workers. A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted among primary healthcare institutions in Nanping, Fujian Province, China. Eligible primary health care providers will be recruited from community health service centers and township health centers.Participating institutions will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either a structured dementia management training group or a self-directed learning control group. The intervention group will receive a 12-week blended training program, including online learning, an in-person skills workshop, and case-based practice supervision. The control group will receive self-directed online learning materials. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention. The primary outcome is the change in dementia knowledge, measured using the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale. Secondary outcomes include dementia-related attitudes, dementia management practice competency, self-reported dementia management behaviors, objective screening and referral-related indicators, and implementation outcomes based on the RE-AIM framework.

Structured Dementia Management Competency Training Program
The intervention is a 12-week blended training program. During weeks 1-4, participants will complete seven online modules with a total learning duration of approximately 3 hours. At the end of week 4, participants will attend a 2-hour in-person skills workshop focusing on standardized cognitive screening and assessment. During weeks 5-12, participants will participate in online case-based supervision every two weeks and complete practice tasks, including cognitive screening records and dementia management case records.
Self-directed Dementia Learning
Participants will be provided with online dementia-related learning materials and will arrange their own learning time and place. No structured completion requirements, assessments, in-person activities, or expert supervision will be provided.
