San Rocco Study: an Observational Study on Implementation of the Non-pharmacological Therapies for People With Dementia Living in Nursing Home
Abstract
The goals of this clinical trial are 1) to estimate the number of professional caregivers and the time spent to carry out the non-pharmacological therapies for people with dementia and 2) to evaluate differences between professional caregivers trained and non-trained to non-pharmacological therapies for people with dementia in term of caregivers' burnout and well-being of people with dementia living in nursing home.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How long does it take professional caregivers to implement and carry out non-pharmacological therapies?
* How many caregivers are needed to start and carry out non-pharmacological therapies?
* Do the non-pharmacological therapies improve the quality of life of people with dementia?
* Do the non-pharmacological therapies reduce behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia?
* Do the non-pharmacological therapies improve professional caregiver burnout, sense of competence and ethical climate in nursing home?
* Do the non-pharmacological therapies reduce family caregivers' stress?
Participants will attend ten sessions:
* five theoretical meetings on dementia and non-pharmacological therapies;
* five supervision meetings on the methodology for implementing non-pharmacological therapies based on discussions of cases.
The investigators will compare the experimental group with an usual care control group to see if there are improvements in term of the quality of life of the resident perceived by the team, professional…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 36 participants or records.
