The Importance Of Knowledge In Dementia
What I knew before MOOC:
Before MOOC my knowledge of dementia was old because I have nursed for over thirty years and had not gained recent knowledge in this field, only through personal experience. Since 2008 I have worked on a private ward which includes a mixture of medical, surgical and palliative clients. Last year through Alzheimer’s WA I undertook the Dementia Champion course. The course provided a dementia file and instructed us on how to educate. The file emphasized that my knowledge base was absent across areas of dementia care including validation theory, the impact environmental design and dementia people-centred care. It was time to improve my knowledge in dementia care.
