| Details | We conducted the study at 482 medical centres for dementia. We received responses from 162 participants, 158 of which were valid. We applied item response theory to 45 staff-rated items regarding post-diagnosis support for patients with MCI and found that item difficulty ranged from -2.56 to 1.02; 40 items had negative values and were deemed relatively easy. The staff-rated ability to provide post-diagnosis support was significantly higher for ‘The role in assisting patients with MCI is clear’ (P < 0.005), ‘A reasonable number of personnel is available to assist immediately after MCI diagnosis’ (P = 0.001), and ‘Collaboration with family physician available immediately after MCI diagnosis’ (P < 0.001). |
