The Confidence in Dementia (CODE) Scale: A review of its development and application

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

This review article outlines the development and properties of the Confidence in Dementia (CODE) scale, which was first published in 2014 in a study led by the first author of this review article. The validity and reliability of the CODE scale have been subjected to rigorous independent testing since its first publication, translated into several different languages, and used in dementia care settings and contexts outside of its original development in the general hospital setting. The CODE scale may be particularly useful when measuring staff confidence in working with people living with dementia who are experiencing behaviours that challenge.
