Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to adapt the SCIDS into the Turkish version and validate it in the social and cultural context of Turkey to assess staff competency in dementia care in the long-term care setting.

Description:

Most existing tools measuring care adequacy are targeted at family caregivers. Tools targeting formal dementia carers have focused primarily on dementia care knowledge, care attitudes and care workloads separately. There is less research investigating the assessment of competence in dementia care among formal healthcare staffs. There is no validated tool to accurately assess staff competency in dementia care in the long-term care setting in Turkey. Schepers et al. developed a scale dedicated to assessing Sense of Competence in Dementia Care Staff, including relationship building, maintaining personality, professionalism, and care challenges. Today, the scale has been used to evaluate the effectiveness of training programs and has demonstrated its applicability.

Primary	Sense of Competence in Dementia Care Staff Scale	This scale includes competence in the field of dementia clinical practice, knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding dementia care.; Scoring All items are scored from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Higher scores mean a higher level of sense of confidence.; Scores are added up for items from 1 to 17 for the overall SOCID-S score (ranging from 17 to 68) and for the subscales as follows: Professionalism: 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 (scores ranging from 5 to 20); Building Relationships: 1, 2, 3, 4 (scores ranging from 4 to 12); Care Challenges: 13, 14, 15, 17 (scores ranging from 4 to 12); and Sustaining Personhood: 5, 6, 11, 16 (scores ranging from 4 to 12)	Change from Baseline Scores at one week
Secondary	Caring Behaviors Inventory-24	Its correlation with Sense of Efficacy in Dementia Care Personnel will be conducted for construct validity.; Assurance (8 items = 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24), knowledge-skill (5 items = 9, 10, 11, 12, 15), being respectful (6 items = 1, 3, It consists of 4 subgroups and 24 items: 5, 6, 13, 19) and commitment (5 items = 2, 4, 7, 8, 14), and a 6-point Likert-type scale (1 = never, 2 = almost never, 3=sometimes, 4=usually, 5=most of the time, 6=always) is used for the responses.; As the subscale and total scale scores increase, the level of care quality perception of patients or nurses increases.
