Abstract
Background
Despite the rising demand for quality residential aged care to meet the needs of an ageing population with increased dementia levels, residential aged care is reported to be a less attractive career choice for nurses and student nurses than acute and other sectors. Previous research has shown that students are often fearful of working with residents with dementia when they are not supported effectively
