Expression of sexuality by older people, particularly those with dementia, can be challenging and confronting for residential aged care staff. Not only is education on this topic often a low priority area for aged care organisations, there appears to be limited training programs available. Dr Jones' study will seek to evaluate the ease of use, quality and effectiveness of an online education intervention to increase knowledge and improve attitudes of residential aged care staff towards the expression of sexuality by older people including those with dementia.
