Developing a Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit (PICT)
6 de junio de 2022 actualizado por: Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Developing a Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit for Family Caregivers of Persons With Dementia
The proposed research will develop, refine, and pilot test the Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit (PICT), an intervention to help family caregivers of community-dwelling persons with dementia identify pain symptoms and communicate those symptoms to health care providers.
Informed by self-efficacy theory, PICT will include: a) training in administering an observational assessment tool to identify pain in persons with dementia, b) coaching in effective communication about the person with dementia's pain symptoms, c) future planning for steps to take when pain is detected, and d) updating caregivers' skills through routine practice with the pain assessment tool.
All components will be vetted and iteratively field-tested with a sample of racially and ethnically diverse caregivers of community-dwelling persons with dementia and health care providers.
A two-group pilot randomized trial will examine the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary impact of PICT on caregivers' initiation of pain-related communication with health care providers.

Experimental: PICT Workbook
PICT Workbook components includes: a) training using an observational assessment tool to detect pain in PWD, b) coaching and feedback by a research nurse in effective strategies for communicating with providers about PWD's pain, c) future planning for what steps to take when a pain symptom is detected, and d) updating the caregiver's skill set through routine practice.
|
PICT Workbook: The PICT workbook is a 31-page manual, which includes: a) training using an observational assessment tool to detect pain in PWD, b) coaching and feedback by a research nurse in effective strategies for communicating with providers about PWD's pain, c) future planning for what steps to take when a pain symptom is detected, and d) updating the caregiver's skill set.
Participants in the intervention condition also attended four weekly 30-minute sessions with an interventionist through a combination of online (video observation) and telephone coaching to go over the Workbook.

Sin intervención: Family Caregivers - Interview Phase
Interviews will be conducted with family caregivers and health care providers in-person in private offices at WCMC/NYP or over the telephone.
The primary objectives of the qualitative interviews are to: a) adapt the PAINAD for use with caregivers by asking them to comment on its format and content; and b) generate an initial question pool for the Question Prompt List.
After reviewing the PICT workbook, caregivers will complete a brief qualitative questionnaire about the content, format, and perceived utility of PICT, as well as ways to enhance its cultural relevance.
They will also complete a semi-structured interview to clarify their perspectives.
Health care providers will answer a similar set of questions.
Results from this first field-test will inform the next version of PICT and address key issues, such as the feasibility of using research nurses to administer the intervention, anticipation of participant burden for caregivers, and adequacy of PICT format and instructions.

Sin intervención: Family Caregivers - Field Test Phase
Once initial versions of the PICT manual and workbook are developed, they will be iteratively field-tested and vetted by family caregivers and health care providers.
After reviewing the PICT workbook, caregivers will complete a brief qualitative questionnaire about the content, format, and perceived utility of PICT, as well as ways to enhance its cultural relevance.
They will also complete a brief (15-20 minute) semi-structured interview to clarify their perspectives.
Health care providers will answer a similar set of questions.
Results from this first field-test will inform the modified version of PICT and will address key issues, such as the feasibility of using research nurses (and other practice staff) to administer the intervention, anticipation of participant burden for caregivers, and adequacy of PICT format and instructions.
