Usabilidad de la intervención basada en tecnología y pruebas piloto (SIRENS)

3 de noviembre de 2026 actualizado por: Weill Medical College of Cornell University

Detección e intervención de atención primaria para la evaluación y apoyo del cuidado de la atención para pacientes con demencia: usabilidad de intervención basada en tecnología y pruebas piloto

This research project has three main goals:

(1) To create a new screening tool that helps primary care doctors spot signs of neglect in older adults with dementia. (2) To design a support program that can be delivered both in person and through a mobile app on Android phones. (3) To run a clinical trial with three groups of participants to find out how effective the screening tool is on its own, and how effective it is when combined with the support program-compared to standard care.

This current phase of the project focuses on parts of goals 1 and 2, as described below.

Descripción detallada

Elder abuse is common and has serious health consequences but is under-recognized and under-reported. Older adults with dementia are at much higher risk of mistreatment than other older adults, and the risk of mistreatment has been shown to be greater with increasing severity of dementia. This mistreatment is usually perpetrated by caregivers.

Screening for elder mistreatment and initiation of intervention in primary care clinics may be helpful, but few evidence-based tools or strategies exist. As few tools exist that may be effectively used in a busy clinical setting, evidence of the impact of screening and potential subsequent intervention on patient-important outcomes is lacking. Further, existing tools were developed for and studied in cognitively intact older adults and may not be appropriate for older adults with AD/ADRD.

In addition, elder mistreatment includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal/emotional/psychological abuse, financial exploitation, and caregiver neglect. These different types of elder mistreatment represent very different phenomena, occur in various groups of older adults, and respond to very different intervention strategies. These discrepancies have made connecting positive identifications of mistreatment in the primary care setting to the next steps, including interventions, very challenging. Focusing on an intervention for caregiver neglect in older adults with dementia has the potential to address these challenges. Given that the severity of dementia represents a significant risk factor in the caregiving relationship, our goal is to provide support for dementia caregivers.

Descripción del plan IPD

The investigators plan for resource sharing is based on the National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Aging (NIH/NIA) Data Sharing Policy. The investigators plan, consistent with the NIH goals of data sharing, is to promote use of the rich SIRENS database by the larger research community as this will further the impact of SIRENS and expand possibilities for collaboration. It will also allow other researchers to expedite the translation of the research findings into knowledge, products, and procedures. Further, the plan is devised to make the data as widely and freely available as possible while at the same time safeguarding the privacy of participants and protecting confidential and proprietary data.

Marco de tiempo para compartir IPD

The data from research projects will be made available no later than acceptance of publication of the main findings from the final data set. There is no end date to access the data from the research projects.

Criterios de acceso compartido de IPD

The investigators agree to share the data with researchers working under an institution with Federal Wide Assurance who agree to a data sharing agreement that stipulates protection of participant privacy and data confidentiality, acknowledgement of SIRENS, that the data will be used for research purposes only, and that the data will not be transferred to other users. The computerized data will include raw data, derived variables, all necessary documentation as described in the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging depositor agreement. All data will be de-identified. The investigators will follow the guides published by the US Department of Health and Human Services in this respect. Each data set will include data documentation to ensure that others can use the data set and to minimize confusion. Information about where and how to locate and access the data will be available in any publications and presentations authored by SIRENS investigators.
