Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to identify variables associated with dementia attitudes among Korean dementia caregivers and to determine the effect size of the association between these variables and dementia attitudes.
Methods
A meta-analysis was conducted by analysing 29 master's and doctoral theses and journal articles published in Korea.
Results
Four distinct groups were identified among the variables: those related to practice, personality, psychological aspects of the job, and knowledge. The largest effect size was found for practice (effect size, ESr=.51), personality (ESr=.38), job-related psychological (ESr=.24), and knowledge (ESr=.17).
Conclusion
The results of this study can be useful in developing management and education programs to improve dementia attitudes in caregivers, taking into account variables related to dementia attitudes.
