Background: Therapeutic lying is an intervention used by health care professionals (HCPs) when a person with dementia is disoriented and distressed and when all other interventions have not succeeded in deescalating the symptoms of dementia.
Method: The goal of this study was to evaluate a workshop on therapeutic lying and dementia care for HCPs specializing in the care of persons living with dementia with symptoms of dementia. Seventeen HPCs, including nurses and personal support workers (PSWs), participated in the workshop and evaluation survey.
