Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of a dementia management competency training program for primary healthcare workers. A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted among primary healthcare institutions in Nanping, Fujian Province, China. Eligible primary health care providers will be recruited from community health service centers and township health centers.Participating institutions will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either a structured dementia management training group or a self-directed learning control group. The intervention group will receive a 12-week blended training program, including online learning, an in-person skills workshop, and case-based practice supervision. The control group will receive self-directed online learning materials. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention. The primary outcome is the change in dementia knowledge, measured using the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale. Secondary outcomes include dementia-related attitudes, dementia management practice competency, self-reported dementia management behaviors, objective screening and referral-related indicators, and implementation outcomes based on the RE-AIM framework.
