ABSTRACT
This study was a one-group pretest-posttest study to examine the effects of cognitive rehabilitation program education on dementia attitudes and geriatric nursing self-efficacy. The results showed that the of dementia attitude knowledge, dementia attitude stability, and total score of dementia attitude were not statistically significant. However, the average score showed a slight improvement. And there was no statistically significant difference in the geriatric nursing self-efficacy, but it showed a slight improvement in the average score. Based on the results of the research, the cognitive rehabilitation program education is an effective and beneficial program for the care of the elderly with dementia. However, it is difficult to generalize because the number of participants is small. Therefore I suggest that should increase the number of participants and study it repeatedly.
