Participants included 23 dyads of older adults with dementia and their CAs from a long-term care facility in South Korea. Upon completion of the APP intervention, focused group interviews were conducted with six CAs and five nurses.Results: The results of paired t-tests showed that the effects of the APP intervention on the older adults with dementia and their CAs were not significant; however, the results of the focused group interviews support the potential usefulness of the APP for CAs.Conclusion: The APP may be applicable to long-term care workers who need meal assistant skills education.Keywords: dementia, eating, mobile applications, nursing interventionJung DDe Gagne JCLee MLee HLee KChoi EChung JDove Medical Pressarticledementiaeatingmobile applicationsnursing interventionGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2019-2029 (2020)
