Abstract
KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS DEMENTIA CARE AMONG HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN SOMALILAND: A NEED ASSESSMENT SURVEY
Author(s): Mohamed Abdilahi Duale*, Abdirahman Khadar Abdihaad*#, Abdiaziz Ali Nour**The present pilot survey assessed the levels of healthcare workers’ knowledge of dementia and attitudes towards dementia care in Somaliland. Between June and July 2023, we administered an adapted online survey with 30 Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale (ADKS) true or false statements and 10 Dementia Care Attitude Scale (DCAS) Likert-scale items. The reliability of the Likert-scale DCAS items was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. A Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U-test, and independent sample t-test were used to assess the relationship and differences of the outcome variables (knowledge and attitude) across the healthcare workers’ baseline information. The mean ADKS score was 18.7 (SD=3.1). Out of 107 healthcare workers who completed the survey, 49.5% had high dementia knowledge (score ≥ 18.7). The participants’ median (IQR) attitude score was 34 (25, 39), and 46.7% (50 of 107) had a positive attitude towards dementia care. In conclusion, health professionals in Somaliland had low levels of knowledge and negative attitudes towards dementia care. ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 27 (02) May, 2026; 1-8.
