The Family Caregiver Training Program for Caregivers of People With Dementia

5 stycznia 2016 zaktualizowane przez: Rosanne DiZazzo-Miller, Nova Southeastern University

The Family Caregiver Training Program for Caregivers of People With Dementia: A Randomized Control Trial

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Family Caregiver Training Program for caregivers of people with dementia, using a pretest posttest randomized control trial with 3-month follow-up. The Family Caregiver Training Program will consist of 3-hours and hence, three modules over the course of one day. Module one will present information on communication, eating, and nutrition, module two will focus on transfers and toileting, and module three will focus on bathing, grooming, and dressing. The control group will receive standard care as relevant to dementia family caregivers including general information on the progression of dementia, and helpful resources as suggested by the Alzheimer's Association. A convenience sample of 36 family caregivers will be recruited by flyers posted throughout local area community boards and Alzheimer's Association media outlets. A repeated measures ANOVA will be used to assess the group differences in knowledge and confidence at three time points (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 3-months post-intervention). Changes in caregiver burden, depression, quality of life, and occupational performance and satisfaction will be assessed 3-months post-intervention.

Szczegółowy opis

The main research question asks to what extent does participation in a structured 3-hour training module (i.e., The Family Caregiver Training Program) focused on assisting family caregiver's with the ADLs of people with dementia effect caregiver knowledge and confidence, which in turn may effect caregiver burden, depression, quality of life, and occupational performance and satisfaction. Aim 1 will examine the relationship between the Family Caregiver Training Program intervention and knowledge of and confidence in the occupation of caregiving. Aim 2 will explore the relationship between the occupation of caregiving and person characteristics including burden, depression, and quality of life. Aim 3 will explore the relationship between the changes in the occupation of caregiving and changes in occupational performance.

A feasibility of the Family Caregiver Training Program was established using a single pre- post- test design. A significant improvement in caregiver knowledge was found in all three areas of training: communication/nutrition (N=53, p<0.001), transfers and toileting (N=46, p=0.003), and bathing and dressing (N=45, p=0.10) (DiZazzo-Miller, Samuel, Barnas, & Welker, 2014). This proposed study is built on the feasibility study, with the addition of confidence, burden, depression, quality of life, and occupational performance and satisfaction as outcomes using a random assignment to control group design.

A convenience sample of 36 family caregivers was recruited through flyers, newsletters, and Alzheimer's Association media outlets. The intervention group received one two-hour training that included three modules. Module one presented information on communication, eating/feeding and nutrition; module two focused on transfers and toileting; and module three focused on bathing, grooming, and dressing. The control group received standard care based upon a packet developed by the Alzheimer's Association for physicians to distribute to families and caregivers after receiving a diagnosis of dementia.

Results from this study will be generalizable to Metro-Detroit area family caregivers. Findings may offer information to enhance the caregiver training literature in the field of occupational therapy on the impact a community-based activity of daily living training can have with dementia family caregivers.

Broń i interwencje

Grupa uczestników / Arm
Interwencja / Leczenie
Eksperymentalny: The Family Caregiver Training Program
The experimental group received a 2 hour intervention training on activities of daily throughout the early, middle, and late stages of dementia including communication, eating/feeding, nutrition, bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and transferring.
Behawioralne: The Family Caregiver Training Program
The intervention consisted of a two-hour PowerPoint® presentation throughout three modules (i.e., communication, eating/feeding, and nutrition; transferring and toileting; and dressing, bathing, and grooming). Each module was followed by a hands-on demonstration and practice session, including how to properly position and feed an adult, transfer from a seated position to another seated position, and a case study on modifications and assistance to provide during dressing and grooming.
Brak interwencji: Standard Care
The control group received a 1 1/2 hour training, however the information was based on what has been deemed standard care by the Alzheimer's Association.
