Caring for Caregivers & People Living With Dementia Under Home-Based

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a dementia care intervention for persons receiving home-based primary care (HBPC) and living with dementia (PLWD) and their caregivers, and test the feasibility of implementing the intervention in HBPC practices to ultimately improve outcomes of PLWD and their caregivers. The main aims are to: - Develop and refine HBPC Dementia Care Quality at Home - Establish feasibility (primary outcome), acceptability, and fidelity of HBPC Dementia Care Quality at Home through an open-pilot trial involving two HBPC practices. Trained clinicians and staff at two HBPC practices will implement the intervention Relevant stakeholders (caregivers of PLWD, and HBPC clinicians and staff) will participate in qualitative focus groups to provide feedback on the intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

The overarching goal of this project is to develop a dementia care intervention for PLWD and their caregivers, Dementia Care Quality at Home, and test the feasibility of implementing the intervention in two HBPC practices to ultimately improve outcomes of PLWD and their caregivers. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity in implementing HBPC Dementia Care Quality at Home in two practices for persons living with dementia and their caregivers through an open pilot. Hypothesis: HBPC Dementia Care Quality at Home will meet benchmarks of feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity by the HBPC practices implementing it and by caregivers of PLWD who experience the intervention. The investigators will assess feasibility of caregivers of PLWD to engage with the intervention, the acceptability of the intervention to caregivers, and the impact of the intervention on caregiver well-being by surveying caregivers at the conclusion of the pilot. In addition, the investigators will assess feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of the intervention in the practices. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
