Other | Ease of Use of the WeCareAdvisor Tool | As measured by a study specific questionnaire completed by caregivers. Ease of use of the WeCareAdvisor tool is measured on a scale of 1 to 7 where 1 is equivalent to strongly disagree and 7 is equivalent to strongly agree (midpoint is equivalent to neutral). | 1 month after using WeCareAdvisor tool | |
Other | Usefulness/ Perceived Benefit of the WeCareAdvisor Tool | As measured by a study specific questionnaire completed by caregivers. Usefulness/perceived benefit of the WeCareAdvisor tool is measured on a scale of 1 to 7 where 1 is equivalent to strongly disagree and 7 is equivalent to strongly agree (midpoint is equivalent to neutral). | 1 month after using WeCareAdvisor tool | |
Primary | Change in Caregiver Stress | As measured by a study specific questionnaire completed by caregivers. Stress is measured on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is equivalent to no stress and 5 is equivalent to extreme stress. | Baseline to 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Caregiver Confidence in Managing Problematic Behavior | As measured by a study specific questionnaire completed by caregivers. Confidence in managing problematic behavior is measured on a scale of 0 to 10, where a score of 0 means not confident and 10 means extremely confident | Baseline to 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Caregiver Upset | As measured by a study specific questionnaire completed by caregivers. Upset is measured on a scale of 0 to 5 where 0 is equivalent to no upset and 5 is equivalent to extreme upset (midpoint is equivalent to fairly upset). | Baseline to 2 months | |
Secondary | Change in Caregiver Communication | Caregivers rate the frequency of using six forms of negative communication (yelling, threatening, criticizing, withdrawing from patient, using harsh tone and screaming), measured on a scale of 1 to 5 where a score of 1 is never and a score of 5 is always. | Baseline to 2 months |
