Summary
This study tested a special training and tool for home hospice nurses and social workers to help them better care for people with dementia and support their families. About 93 participants, including clinicians and family caregivers who are Black or White, took part. The goal was to see if the training reduces stress for family caregivers and improves clinicians' knowledge about dementia care at the end of life.
