간병인 및 환자의 결과 향상을 위한 간병인 교육 프로그램의 효과

실험적: The MapHabit System + Caregiver Training Program

This condition will involve the implementation of an assistive technology software, the MapHabit System (MHS), with an added Caregiver Training Program (CTP) into the caregiver's daily care for their individual with mild to moderate stages of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The MapHabit System (MHS) is a commercially available visual mapping software application that utilizes visual, audio, and text media to create step-by-step visual guides to assist individuals and their caregivers in structuring and accomplishing activities of daily living (ADLs). The application will be made available to caregivers through compatible tablets. CTP will integrate a personalized caregiver education service into MHS, in which participants will engage in training sessions and related educational materials with dementia support coaches.

장치: The MapHabit System

The MapHabit System (MHS) is a commercially available visual mapping software application that utilizes visual, audio, and text media to create step-by-step visual guides to assist individuals and their caregivers in structuring and accomplishing activities of daily living (ADLs). The goal of the application is to develop and facilitate habits and routines using structured visual and auditory stimuli that can be customized by the user and can include educational and lesson-based material in addition to ADLs. The application will be made available through tablets. Depending on the condition, participants will receive a specific version of the application. The experimental condition will receive the version that incorporates the Caregiver Training Program (CTP). CTP will integrate a personalized caregiver education service into MHS, in which participants will engage in training sessions and educational materials with dementia support coaches.

활성 비교기: The MapHabit System

This control condition will act as the active comparator to the experimental condition. The same assistive technology, the MapHabit System (MHS), will be given to a separate group of participants. The difference here will be that the system will be a version that does not include the caregiver training program.

Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL) at 6 Months

The ADCS-ADL is a validated caregiver-reported measure of functional ability in individuals with dementia. The inventory assesses performance in basic and instrumental activities of daily living through a structured caregiver interview. Higher scores indicate greater functional independence and lower scores indicating greater impairment. The scale consists of 23 items administered via a structured interview with a caregiver or informant. Total scores are calculated by summing item responses, with possible scores ranging from 0 to 78.

Quality of Life - 18 (QoL-18) at 6 Months

18-item quality-of-life questionnaire (QoL-18) evaluated a range of participants' behaviors, including mood, engagement, and memory at the end of the study compared to baseline. The instrument is scored on a Likert Scale, ranging from 1-5. Final score is calculated as sum of all question scores. Minimum score of 18 and maximum score of 90. A higher number indicates better outcome compared to baseline.

Rapid Caregiver Well-Being Scale (R-CWBS) at 6 Months

The Rapid Caregiver Well-being Scale (R-CWBS) consists of 6 items. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale reflecting the caregiver's experiences and perceptions of well-being, with higher scores indicating greater caregiver well-being. Total scores are calculated by summing responses across all items, with higher scores reflecting better overall well-being and lower scores indicating greater caregiver strain or distress. Minimum score: 6 (all items scored 1) Maximum score: 30 (all items scored 5).

Caregiver Confidence in Sign/Symptom Management (CCSM) Scale at 6 Months

The Caregiver Confidence in Sign/Symptom Management (CCSM) scale is a caregiver-reported measure that assesses caregiver confidence in their ability to manage care recipient signs and symptoms. It consists of 25 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all confident/true) to 5 (extremely confident/true). Total scores are calculated by summing responses across all items, with possible scores ranging from 25 to 125. Higher scores indicate greater caregiver confidence in managing signs and symptoms, whereas lower scores indicate lower confidence.
