Summary

This study tested whether a 90-minute gaming-based education program could improve healthcare students' attitudes toward people with dementia. 400 students in Indonesia participated in the single-session program, which included a lecture, a gaming tool called N-impro, and short dramas. Researchers measured changes in attitudes, knowledge, and stigma before and after the program.
