치매 환자에게 적합한 개인 환경
지역사회 거주 치매노인의 개인-환경 적합도 향상
This trial will assess feasibility of a non-pharmacological intervention for persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) to improve behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia and functional performance.
Using a two-arm, prospective randomized controlled trial, 38 dyads (person with ADRD and caregiver) will complete an 8-week telehealth occupational therapy intervention provided via Zoom with caregivers and persons with dementia or receive an active control with 8 telehealth sessions to discuss publicly available caregiver education with a non-clinical research assistant.

실험적: Harmony
Participants in this group will receive the Harmony intervention. |
The Harmony intervention builds on prior successful foundations of dementia care interventions with a novel approach combining remote implementation, antecedent education, and home environment intervention. The intervention will teach caregivers how to 1) assess the home environment as an antecedent to behavior for the person with ADRD, and 2) design and implement individualized environmental modification through an environmental cueing approach to address the needs of the person with ADRD in a supportive environment. |
|
활성 비교기: National Institute on Aging Program
Participants in this group will receive the National Institute on Aging education. |
Standard of care will address behaviors and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSD) for persons with ADRD, as recommended by their medical provider. Caregivers will receive training regarding home safety via a home safety handout based on National Institutes on Aging "Home Safety and Alzheimer's Disease" webpage. |

Change in Patient Performance as Measured by Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
기간: Baseline to 13 Week Follow-Up
|
Criterion-referenced interview of patient performance with caregiver The COPM is a reliable and validated measure of performance in primary daily activities (self-care, leisure, productivity) with dyad-caregiver rated of performance and satisfaction. Scores are determined on a likert scale of 1-10 with 1 being lowest and 10 indicating highest of the topic of the question. |

Caregiver Satisfaction of Patient Performance [Feasibility]
기간: Baseline to 13 Week Follow-Up
|
The primary outcome analysis is the feasibility of implementation as measured by caregiver satisfaction. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure will measure caregiver satisfaction of patient performance, high scores indicate higher levels of satisfaction. Range 0-10. |

Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale
기간: Baseline to 13 Week Follow-Up
|
22-item survey, caregiver rates self-perceived level of burden on 5-point Likert scale. The social context of the person with ADRD will be described through analysis of caregiver demographics and rate of caregiver burden measured. Higher scores indicate greater burden. Range of 0-88 points. A score of 17 or more was considered high burden. |
Baseline to 13 Week Follow-Up

Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q)
기간: Baseline to 13 Week Follow-Up
|
The NPI-Q is commonly used as an assessment of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia in older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, internationally, with high reliability and validity. Assessment includes 12 behavioral and psychiatric domains which are rated by caregiver as present or absent (yes/no). Caregivers further rate severity of present behavioral domains. The severity score is summed to yield a total as a measure of BPSD burden. Higher scores indicate higher levels of behavior symptom severity and/or distress. Range 0-36 |
Baseline to 13 Week Follow-Up
|
|
Functional Behavior Profile (FBP)
기간: Baseline to 13 Week Follow-Up
|
Criterion-referenced survey completed by caregiver. The FBP has been established as a reliable and valid measure of task performance, social interaction, and problem solving with adults with ADRD. The FBP consists of 27 items rated from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating better performance. The total score ranges from 0 to 108. The FBP includes three subscales: Task Performance (0-36), Social Interaction (0-24) and Problem Solving (0-48). Subscale scores are summed to calculate the total FBP score. |
