Effects and Costs of a Day Care Centre Program Designed for People With Dementia (ECOD)

7. februar 2020 opdateret af: Norwegian Centre for Ageing and Health

Effects and Costs of a Day Care Centre Program Designed for People With Dementia - a 24 Month Controlled Study

Attending day care centres with programs specifically designed for patients with dementia is believed to postpone admittance to nursing home as well as increase quality of life and well-being for both patients and their family caregivers. We aim to investigate to what degree attendance in day care centres with programs for people with dementia is effective for patient and their caregivers whilst also cost efficient for society. The study consists of a quasi-experimental trial with comparison group. 400 patients with dementia, along with a family caregiver, will be included in the trial. Effects will be measured at baseline, after one and two years. Data collection will be made at three levels; at patient level with measures of cognition, depression, quality of life, functioning in activities in daily living, neuropsychiatric symptoms and death; at caregiver level with measures of depression, level of burden and quality of life; and at societal level with measures of nursing home admittance, hospital stays and use of other health resources. Additionally,a qualitative interview study will include 20 dyads from the main trial. The main focus will be on how attending day care centre programs for patients with dementia affect the lives of both patients and caregivers. Five of these dyads will be followed closely throughout the participation period to be used as case examples.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

A quasi experimental trial with a comparison group will be performed to evaluate the effect of the day care centre programs by comparing results from municipalities with (intervention group) and without (comparison group) a day care centre program designed for people with dementia using standardized assessment tools. Furthermore, a survey will be used to explore the communication and co-operation between the professional staff at the day care centre, the patients and the family carers by administering questionnaires to all three parties. Only patients with mild degree of dementia will be asked to participate in the questionnaire. Finally, qualitative interviews will be made with 20 dyads of patients and family carers to collect their in depth experience with the day care centre program. Five of these patients and their family carers will be followed closely as case examples for two years.
