AimsThis study aimed to conduct a collaborative dementia care training that the researchers have been developing in district A, observe for changes in self-assessments of interprofessional work competency between before and 3 months after the training , and obtain findings about the effectiveness of the training program. MethodsParticipants were 40 professionals who were members of "A Collaborating Association," an organization composed of workers of public health, healthcare, and social service institutions of district A, who participated in the collaborative dementia care training.The participantsʼ multidisciplinary collaborative competency was assessed before and after the training to study their changes.The purpose of the training was to encourage mutual understanding of professionals and institutions involved in collaborative dementia care so that common goals are shared in order to improve collaborative dementia care provided in district A. The training was thus composed of lectures, groupwork, and inter-group sharing.The Otsuka Interprofessional work Competency Scale-Revision 24 (OIPCS-R24) was used to assess the outcomes. ResultsThe highest numbers among 40 participating professionals were care managers (22.5%).They had a mean of 8.7 years of experience in their profession (SD=8.2).Mean OIPCS-R24 scores for the "Understanding and Respect for Others" subscale increased significantly 3 months after the training, from 20.8 points at baseline to 21.7 points after training (p＝.016).Participants were divided into groups with fewer and greater numbers of years of professional experience to compare their self-assessments after the training to baseline.This resulted in a significant increase in scores for the "Understanding and Respect for Others" subscale only in the group with fewer years of experience.There were no significant changes in the other subscales. ConclusionsThe collaborative dementia care training was conducted and assessed on professionals in district A. The self-assessments of competency in multidisciplinary collaboration increased, which confirmed the effectiveness of the training program, though it was limited to professionals with less experience.
