University of Maryland, Baltimore·interventional·Posted Jan 9, 2017·Updated Mar 7, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating EIT-4-BPSD and Education-only Control for Dementia and Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD). Completed, enrolled 553 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This pragmatic trial focuses on implementation of an evidence based process to increase person-centered management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in nursing homes, referred to as EIT-4-BPSD. The findings from this study will add to what is known about implementation of effective interventions in nursing homes, will serve as a model for other programs and care approaches, and will help facilities and staff implement quality person-centered care, which is the goal of the National Partnership to Improve Dementia Care and Reduce Antipsychotic Use in Nursing Homes.

Interventions

EIT-4-BPSDbehavioral

This arm includes the four step intervention: 1. Assessment of the environment and policies; 2. Education of staff; 3. Establishing person-centered care plans; and 4. Mentoring and motivating staff. We provide the sites with a research nurse who works with an identified stakeholder group and champion within the facility and visits the settings monthly, connects by email weekly to complete the four intervention steps. The implementation process is guided by the Evidence Integration Triangle (EIT) framework. The EIT brings together evidence and key stakeholders from the facility to influence care practices. EIT includes: participatory implementation processes, provision of practical evidence-based interventions, and pragmatic measures of progress toward goals.

Education-only Controlbehavioral

This arm includes step 2 only of the EIT-4-BPSD. Facilities are provided with education abouthow to provide behavioral interventions for behavioral symptoms associated with dementia. They can have the education face-to-face or via a powerpoint or webinar.
