AnnotationThe authors evaluate whether the role-playing techniques used in a US Alzheimer's disease research project are effective in increasing nurses' knowledge in person-centred care. The project RELATE (Research and Education for Living with Alzheimer's Disease: Therapeutic Eldercare) measured reactions to and knowledge gained by nursing staff using such techniques in training person-centred care. Findings suggest experiential techniques are efficacious as learning methods. (KJ/RH).
