Official title
A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of the Dementia Symptom Management (DSM) at Home Program Hospice Edition
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (dementia) poses a significant challenge to our public health. While many persons with dementia are cared for by friends and family in the community with the assistance of home healthcare and hospice, most clinicians and agencies are ill prepared to care for this population and therefore have difficulty assisting patients and caregivers in maintaining quality of life leading to adverse patient outcomes, increased caregiver stress and burnout, and healthcare utilization. This study will utilize a cluster randomized controlled design with 6 care teams at a single study site to examine the ability of a multi-component evidence-based practice hospice care quality improvement program for registered nurses, social workers and chaplains to improve the quality of life and reduce healthcare utilization for persons with dementia and their informal caregiver.
