q2 · i? · qualitative · r?
Scoping review of studies on graduate nurses caring for people living with dementia. One included study, a qualitative study by Sorrell and Szweda (2015) at Cleveland Clinic that used a docudrama in a new graduate nurse residency programme, is the basis of this claim; the review reports it as finding that "the docudrama helped nurse residents gain empathy and understanding." This entry reports the review's summary of that study, not the study itself.
"The docudrama helped nurse residents gain empathy and understanding through stepping into the lives of families experiencing dementia"
