---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in actigraphy recorded sleep and circadian rhythm | An actigraph (Actiwatch 2, Philips Respironics) is worn for 7 consecutive days | Baseline and week 8, 16, and 24 | |
Primary | Change in proxy-rated sleep | Sleep Disorders Inventory (a proxy-rated instrument) is completed. A total score is calculated from the product of the average frequency and average severity of seven symptoms. The total score ranges from 0 (best) to 12 (worst). | Baseline and week 8, 16, and 24 | |
Primary | Change in circadian rhythm of core body temperature | A swallowed capsule (e-Celsius, BodyCap) records core body temperature for 24 hours. | Baseline and week 8, 16, and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory - Nursing Home version (NPI-NH) | NPI-NH is a proxy-rated instrument to assess neuropsychiatric disturbances in people with dementia. A total score is calculated from the product of the frequency and severity of 12 items. The total score ranges from 0 (best) to 144 (worst). | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) | CMAI is a proxy-rated instrument measuring agitation symptoms. The instrument has 29 items, and the total score ranges from 29 (best) to 203 (worst). | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Cornell Scale of Depression in Dementia (CSDD) | CSDD is a proxy-rated instrument addressing depression in people with dementia. The instrument has 19 items, and the total score ranges from 0 (best) to 38 (worst). | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia (QUALID) | QUALID is a proxy-rated instrument validated for use in people with dementia. 11 behaviours are rated on a 5-point Likert scale, and the total score ranges from 11 (best) to 55 (worst). | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Mobilization-Observation-Behaviour-Intensity-Dementia 2 (MOBID-2) | MOBID-2 is a proxy-rated instrument to assess pain in people with dementia. The instrument consists of two parts, each with five items. In part 1, pain intensity is inferred by the patient's pain behaviours during standardized, guided movements. In part 2, pain intensity is assessed by the patient's pain behaviours related to internal organs, head, and skin. A total score, ranging from 0-10, is set based on an overall assessment of the pain intensity scores in part 1 and 2. | Baseline and week 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) | MMSE is a cognitive function screening instrument, which discerns severity of cognitive impairment on a 30 point scale. Lower scores represent severe impairment. | Baseline and week 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) | FAST is a proxy-rated instrument validated for use in people with dementia. It ascertains the severity of dementia in seven stages of functioning. | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24. | |
Secondary | Change in the Physical Self-Maintenance Scale | Physical Self-Maintenance Scale assesses Activities of Daily living (ADL) pertaining to physical function. The scale consists of six items, and the total score ranges from 0 to 30. Lower values indicate better functioning. | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) | Rates globally perceived improvement ranging from very much worse (0) to very much improved (6). From baseline to week 8, 16 and 24. | Week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in the Resource Utilization in Dementia - Formal Care (RUD-FOCA) | RUD-FOCA is a cost-analysis of time invested in care during 24 hours | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in general health | The medical journal will be used to register change in total use of medication, blood pressure, pulse, weight and diagnoses. | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in burden of care | The NPI-NH total disruptiveness score is calculated by adding the occupational disruptiveness scores for the 12 items of the NPI-NH (each scored 0-5). The total disruptiveness score has a range of 0-60, with higher values representing more occupational disruptiveness. | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in staff alertness | Karolinska Sleepiness Scale comprises a single item assessing state sleepiness on a scale from 1 (very alert) to 9 (very sleepy, fighting sleep). | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in staff sleep | Bergen Insomnia Scale consists of six items. Each item is scored from 0 to 7, according to the number of days per week a specific insomnia symptom has occurred during the last month. The total score ranges from 0-42. | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in staff fatigue | The Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire has 13 items. The first 11 items (scored 0-3) are used to calculate a total score with a range from 0-33. Higher values represent more fatigue. | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in staff mental health | Measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). HADS consists of two subscales, one for anxiety and one for depression, each with 7 items. The subscale scores range from 0 to 21. Higher values represent worse mental health (anxiety/depression). | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 | |
Secondary | Change in staff health related quality of life | The SF-12 health survey consists of 12 items. Two summary scores (the Mental Health Component Summary and the Physical Health Component Summary) are calculated based on an algorithm from the User's Manual for the SF-12 Health Survey. | Baseline and week 8, 16 and 24 |
