摘要

全球人口增长和老龄化导致痴呆症/阿尔茨海默病的增加。这表明，老年患者和照顾他们的人都必须了解这种疾病，以便告知患者适当的求医行为。由医疗保健专业人员提供诊断和护理。这篇评论试图强调老年患者和医疗保健专业人员对痴呆症/阿尔茨海默病的知识不足的优势。它提倡对初级保健专业人员（医生和护士）进行老年护理/痴呆症方面的培训和再培训，这将对患者教育和护理产生连锁反应。

Knowledge and attitudes about Alzheimer's disease in Nigerian geriatric outpatients: The role of primary care professionals.

The global population growth and aging have resulted in an increase in dementia/Alzheimer's disease. This suggests that both geriatric patients and those who care for them must be knowledgeable about the disease to inform appropriate health-seeking behavior on the part of the patient. and diagnosis and care provision by healthcare professionals. This commentary attempts to highlight the preponderance of insufficient knowledge of dementia/Alzheimer's disease among geriatric patients as well as healthcare professionals. It advocates training and retraining primary care professionals (physicians and nurses) in geriatric care/dementia, which will have a ripple effect on patient education and care.
