- Abstract
- Background: The knowledge and awareness of dementia among the public have been poorly estimated by the regional center for dementia.
Methods: To assess the feasibility of dementia care facilities and the attitudes of community members toward dementia care facilities, we conducted semi-structured interviews with patients and caregivers who utilize regional centers for dementia. The questionnaires consisted of an assessment of the understanding of dementia, the items and amount requested for facility use and satisfaction with dementia care facilities.
Results: A total of 151 residents completed this questionnaire form. The rate of interest in dementia was very high, 48.3% of total responses; however, the knowledge and familiarity with dementia were very low in comparison to the rate of interest (36.4%, 37.1%, respectively).
Most of the responders suggested that more precise and easily understandable information should be provided by the regional center for dementia.
Conclusion: The public need for dementia care facilities is very high, despite their minimal understanding of dementia. Therefore, it is crucial for the public to receive urgent preventive education. and a conversion of knowledge regarding dementia.
