Abstract

Objectives

To assess evidence regarding the effects of interventions aimed at improving dementia literacy for different groups of non-health-professionals.

Methods

A systematic search for relevant interventions was conducted using a range of online databases (e.g. CINAHL, Embase, Medline, ProQuest, and PsycINFO) and hand-searching of reference lists. Eligible interventions were identified based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria and methodological quality criteria. Meta analyses were performed using a random-effects model.

Results

The final review included 14 interventions, which were either randomised controlled trials or non-randomised controlled trials. The interventions had varied contents, approaches, settings, and outcome measures. Evidence of improved dementia literacy in various aspects was found, and the intervention effects were strongest on knowledge of dementia.

Discussion

There is evidence for the positive impact of dementia literacy interventions on different groups of non-health-professionals. Best practices in intervention contents, approaches, and outcome measures should be examined to guide future interventions.

痴呆扫盲干预对非卫生专业人员的影响：系统评价和荟萃分析

摘要

目标

评估旨在提高不同非卫生专业人员群体痴呆症素养的干预措施效果的证据。

方法

使用一系列在线数据库（例如 CINAHL、Embase、Medline、ProQuest 和 PsycINFO）并手动搜索参考列表，对相关干预措施进行了系统搜索。根据预定义的纳入/排除标准和方法学质量标准确定了符合条件的干预措施。使用随机效应模型进行荟萃分析。

结果

最终审查包括 14 项干预措施，这些干预措施要么是随机对照试验，要么是非随机对照试验。干预措施有不同的内容、方法、设置和结果测量。发现了在各个方面提高痴呆症素养的证据，并且对痴呆症知识的干预效果最强。

讨论

有证据表明痴呆扫盲干预对不同的非卫生专业人员群体产生了积极影响。应检查干预内容、方法和结果测量方面的最佳实践，以指导未来的干预。
