Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Veterans being bathed and the healthcare providers providing the bath will be consented in this study.
Inclusion Criteria Veteran with dementia: A veteran with dementia is eligible to participate if they meet the following inclusion criteria:
- Medical diagnosis of advanced stage dementia (MMSE rating 0-20)
- Residing within the VA CLC in Lake City, Florida for at least three months
- Consistently demonstrate high levels of aggression/agitation during assisted bathing, showering, and/or tub bathing.
- Must have legally authorized representative (LAR) on record
Exclusion criteria Veteran with dementia: A veteran with dementia is ineligible to participate if they meet one of the following exclusion criteria:
- Predominant diagnosis of psychosis including schizophrenia
- Patients whom care staff believe would not benefit from MSE.
Inclusion Criteria VA healthcare provider: VA healthcare provider is eligible to participate if they meet the following inclusion criteria:
- Provides assisted bathing, showering, and/or tub bathing to veterans with dementia at the VA CLC in Lake City, Florida
- Has worked at the VA CLC in Lake City, Florida for at least three months
- Speaks English
Exclusion criteria VA healthcare provider: VA healthcare provider is ineligible to participate if they meet one of the following exclusion criteria:
- Has any limitations that will prevent him/her from providing assisted bathing, showering, and/or tub bathing within a MSE
- Has any condition which could, in the opinion of the investigator, place the participating veteran at risk or interfere with data integrity

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Multi-sensory Environment during bathing
The MSE intervention will be provided by an interactive waterproof fiber optic kit that includes: a light-emitting diode (LED) wall-washer light, a waterproof fiber optic cable that can be controlled by a waterproof switch held by the participant while bathing, showering, and or tub bathing, and a mobile MSE cart.
The wall-washer LED light creates the illusion that the room is painted a variety of bright colors that can be changed by the veteran being bathed.
The mobile MSE cart includes an LED solar projector providing visual sensory stimulation by projecting scenes on the wall, an aroma therapy diffuser and a portable bubble tube to create positive distraction during the bathing process.
|
Multi-sensory environments (MSE), also known as Snoezelen® environments, are defined as behavioral environmental intervention to help people with cognitive and physical impairments reach sensory equilibrium.
Typical elements within MSE include visual, auditory, tactile and olfactory stimuli, ergonomic vibro-acoustic furniture, bubble tubes, color-changing LED lighting solutions, music, fiber optics and aromatherapy.
