Nástroj „Pojďme mluvit“, který podporuje rozhodování o používání technologií
Mechanistická studie „Pojďme hovořit“ Dyadický behaviorální zásah na podporu rozhodování o využití technologie
The goal of this research is to educate people about different technologies to support care at home when someone is experiencing memory difficulties. "Let's Talk Tech" is a new tool to educate people about technologies commonly used to support care and monitor safety, and help families talk about their feelings about them to understand each other's perspectives. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if "Let's Talk Tech" helps people feel more prepared to make decisions about technologies.
Researchers will compare Let's Talk Tech to usual care (no intervention) to see if Let's Talk Tech increases peoples' preparedness and confidence to make decisions about technologies.
All participants will:
- Use the Let's Talk Tech web application together with their study partner that takes up to an hour or do nothing.
- Complete two surveys. The second survey will be taken within 2 weeks of the first.
One participant in each pair will also take a 3rd short survey 3 months after the first.

Detailní popis
The goal of this research is to help families understand digital health technology options to support dementia care at home so they can negotiate immediate decisions and future use in an informed way. This is a mechanism-focused trial of Let's Talk Tech (LTT), a single-use, self-administered intervention in the form of a web application. It targets education and interpersonal communication processes to enable informed decision making and planning for technology use that relieves care partners of the burden of making decisions without awareness of the person's preferences. Participants are people living with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (PLWD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and a care partner. The 120 enrolled dyads (60 per study group) will be randomly assigned to receive either the intervention or usual care control. The intervention is self-administered. All participants will complete measures at baseline and at post-test (2 weeks), and care partners will also complete them 3 months later. Aim 1 will test if LTT compared with usual care improves the hypothesized mechanisms of change that are care partners' technology awareness, understanding, communication satisfaction, and intention to honor the PLWD/MCI's preferences, as well as both care partner- and PLWD/MCI-reported dyadic alignment. Aim 2 will examine if and how those hypothesized mechanisms of change improve the post-test and 3-month primary outcomes of care partner preparedness, decisional conflict, and decision making confidence, and secondary outcomes of PLWD/MCI and care partner sharing of technology preferences beyond the dyad and their confidence that PLWD/MCI's preferences will be honored. Exploratory Aim 3 will examine how, with whom, and for what purpose dyad members share technology preferences and explore factors that vary for those who shared with providers vs. family/friends, with the hope of learning how to expand the reach of this intervention to activate dyads' entire care networks.

Experimentální: Let's Talk Tech intervention
The intervention group will complete the single use self-administered Let's Talk Tech intervention together as a dyad. |
Let's Talk Tech is a self-administered dyadic education and communication tool delivered as a web application to support shared decision making about technology use. |
|
Žádný zásah: Usual care
This control group will receive usual care, which means they will complete no intervention. |

Preparedness to make technology decisions
Časové okno: baseline, 2-week post-test and 3 months
|
This is one of the three primary outcomes that are not mechanisms of change variables. Participant rates on a 5-point Likert scale [1="Strongly agree" to 5="Strongly disagree"] how much they agree with the statement that they feel prepared to make decisions about technology use for their study partner. |
baseline, 2-week post-test and 3 months
|
|
Decisional Conflict Scale
Časové okno: baseline, 2-week post-test and 3 months
|
This is one of the three primary outcomes that are not mechanisms of change variables. The Decisional Conflict Scale is a 16-item scale with 5 response categories [0= "Strongly agree" to 4="Strongly disagree"]. Higher scores reflect higher decisional conflict in decision making. |
