An Innovative Occupational Program Using New Technologies (KODRO) Life of Nursing (KODRO)

Randomized Controlled Trial for Assessing the Effects Resulting From an Innovative Occupational Program Using New Technologies (KODRO) on Nursing Home Residents' Quality of Life (Pilot Study)

Randomized controlled trial for assessing the effects resulting from an innovative occupational program using new technologies (KODRO) on nursing home residents' quality of life

Context : improving quality of life (QOL) for the nursing homes residents (NHR) is a national priority (2010 report from French ANESM).

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Home Residents
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: stimulating activities

Detailed Description

KODRO stimulation program makes available stimulating activities through the use of a tactile tablet computer. These tablets are linked to an internet-based service platform The project main objective is to demonstrate by way of a randomized controlled trial the significance of the improvement of residents' QOL achieved by 2 one-hour KODRO sessions per week during 6 months (KODRO nursing homes) when compared with the usual stimulation activity program (nursing homes "controls") (difference for the QOL-AD score > 2 points).At last, the objective of the study is also observational, i.e. to determine the quality of life of NHR at baseline, in its differents aspects.Subjects & methods Analysis will be conducted to compare quantitative parameters at the beginning of the trial to verify the comparability of the two groups and of the mean average change between parameters measured at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months in both groups.
