AB  - BACKGROUND: The current study investigated the relationship between behavioural 
      and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) knowledge and positive aspects of 
      caregiving (PAC), in addition, how caregiving attitude and self-efficacy mediate 
      or moderate this relationship. METHODS: Two hundred twenty-nine formal caregivers 
      (51males and 178females) who has worked in nursing homes for more than a month 
      were recruited.With a cross-sectional, face-to-face survey, structural 
      questionnaires were implemented to evaluate formal caregiver's BPSD knowledge, 
      attitude, self-efficacy and PAC.A 13-item self-developed questionnaire was used 
      to assess caregiver's BPSD knowledge about disease characteristics, care and 
      risks, and treatment needs. Dementia attitude, self-efficacy and positive aspects 
      of caregiving were measured by dementia attitude scale, the General self-efficacy 
      scale, and Chinese version of positive aspects of caregiving respectively. Model 
      5 in the PROCESS micro was employed in order to verify the mediating effect of 
      attitude and the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between 
      BPSD knowledge and PAC. RESULTS: The results showed that greater BPSD knowledge 
      was associated with increased PAC, and this relationship was fully mediated by 
      increased friendly attitude toward people with dementia. Moreover, direct effect 
      was moderated by self-efficacy, and that only among those with high 
      self-efficacy, the direct effect of BPSD knowledge was found on promoting PAC. 
      CONCLUSIONS: By elucidating the knowledge-attitude-practice pathway in handling 
      patient's BPSD, the current study extends existing literature and provides 
      insights for developing psychoeducation programs among formal caregivers.
