Equipping Healthcare Providers with Knowledge and Skills to Support Driving Cessation in Dementia: Phase II

What is this Study about?

Interested in learning how to better support people with dementia through the process of driving cessation? Take part in an online learning program about driving and dementia while participating in a research study. This program aims to equip HCPs with the knowledge and confidence to support people with dementia and their family/friend carers through the often challenging process of driving cessation. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of the e-learning program on HCPs’ knowledge, confidence and competence about driving cessation in the context of dementia. Information will be collected via questionnaires and interviews.

What Will Happen in This Study?

Participation involves taking part in an e-learning program about driving cessation and dementia that takes about five hours and can be done anywhere and at any time. You will be asked to complete a five minute questionnaire before and after completing the modules and you will be invited to participate in two interviews (one within two weeks after completing the program and the other 3 to 6 months later). Questions will include your experiences of participating in the e-learning program and its impact on how you manage driving cessation with your patients/clients. Interviews will be conducted via telephone or online.

Who is Eligible to Participate in this Study?

You are eligible to participate in this research if you are a healthcare provider such as a primary care physician, geriatrician, geriatric psychiatrist, nurse practitioner, occupational therapist or medical trainee/student who cares for people with dementia as part of your practice.
