Emotional Care Competency Scale for Dementia: Development and Correlations With Knowledge, Attitudes, and Confidence
This study is not a clinical trial testing a drug, device, or health intervention. It is a research project developing and validating a measurement scale to assess how well long-term care professionals handle the emotional side of dementia care. Researchers will interview caregivers, build the scale, then survey care workers twice to test whether it holds up. The phase is unspecified because this is a tool-development study, not a treatment trial.
