AB  - BACKGROUND: Improving understanding about dementia in nursing is a priority area 
      for educators and policymakers. This is due to poor professional understanding 
      about dementia and suboptimal healthcare practice. While many educational 
      interventions exist, there has been a paucity of research which has considered 
      the use of artist-produced photobooks to improve knowledge and understanding 
      about dementia. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of an 
      artist-produced photobook on nurses' attitudes and beliefs about dementia. 
      RESULTS: Following a thematic analysis of four focus group interviews with 22 
      nurses and nursing students from Northern Ireland, three themes emerged. Theme 
      one was about how the artist-produced photobook helped participants to humanise 
      the person living with dementia. Theme two related to how the artist-produced 
      photobook supported participants to actively construct their own meanings about 
      dementia based on their previous professional and personal experiences. Theme 
      three explored how an artist-produced photobook could be successfully used to 
      complement existing dementia education in the future. CONCLUSIONS: Using an 
      artist-produced photobook was an innovative way to learn about dementia for 
      nurses and nursing students. The photobook functioned as a tool underpinned by 
      arts-based pedagogy (ABP), supporting nurses to understand the person behind the 
      dementia disease. As such, an artist-produced photobook has the potential to be a 
      useful complementary resource for supporting professional education about 
      dementia.
