Summary

Inpatient aftercare facilities concentrate a medically heterogeneous group of seniors who are very demanding in terms of nursing, medical, psychological and motivational care. These realities have significant implications for staff from all professions that provide direct care to patients in aftercare beds. The present study evaluates how staff providing direct care to clients in aftercare facilities perceive their particular psychological burden in their profession and whether and how their overall attitude and satisfaction is affected by attending educational seminars on communication and approach to patients with dementia. The P-CAT and PCTB questionnaires were used in the survey, and the workers were divided into an intervention group, which received a series of educational seminars, and a non-intervention group, and then the two groups were compared. The results of the study showed a statistically significant reduction in the perceived burden of the intervention group in communicating with patients with dementia, as well as a higher tolerance of problem behaviors in these patients.
