The interventional group attendance staff will accept 3-month e-training care online course, which was supervised by the supervisor and participated in the monthly counseling mentoring support group. The control group will accept the traditional dementedness care traditional classroom teaching course and will not accept any e-training .

The curriculum and counseling support group will collect information on the knowledge, attitudes, care abilities, work stress and burnout of the two groups in the pre-test, 3rd and 6th months and learn about their effectiveness. ;
