Abstract: Dementia not only affects the person living with the condition but also their family and wider social circle. For that reason, it is important to educate family members, the wider public and health professionals. How a child and young people's (CYP) nurse supports and responds to a CYP whose family member has dementia or acts as a carer is of interest to pre-licensure (pre-registration) CYP nursing programs. With serious games becoming more common as a method to educate a diverse population regardless of age and gender, this study aims to learn if playing a kid's dementia awareness game improves CYP nursing student's attitude to dementia using a validated pre-/posttest questionnaire. This study adopted a pretest, posttest design to assess the attitudes of pre-licensure CYP nursing students toward dementia. The Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire (ADQ) was administered before and after playing a serious CYP kid's dementia game developed by children and people living with dementia for 10- to 11-year-old children. The ADQ measured the total score, Hope subscale, and person-centered approaches. Matched paired t-test was used for analysis conducted with SPSS statistics 29. Seventy-two participants, from one university in Northern Ireland, completed pretest measures, of these, 55 also completed the posttest questionnaire. The participating CYP pre-licensure undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students demonstrated a significant increase in overall dementia attitudes post-gameplay, with an increase from 78.31 to 83.27. Subscales for Hope (27.75 to 30.44) and person-centered approaches also exhibited significant improvement (50.56 to 52.84). Demographic data revealed all participants as female, with 50% knowing a person living with dementia, and limited training experiences. In conclusion, this study has shown a positive response to playing a dementia game relevant to the child population. This adds to the literature building on the use of serious games for health education. Attitudes and hope scales increased with the use of the game. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
