About this study
Official title: Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Model for Dementia in Acute Care: Development, Implementation and Evaluation
The purpose of this study is to develop an interprofessional education and practice model for acute care related to dementia and evaluate its effectiveness of implementation.
Read the detailed description
The researchers will recruit participants from a medical center (experimental group) and two regional hospitals (control group) in southern Taiwan. Both the experimental group and the control group will contain 150 healthcare professionals and 64 patients with dementia. Both of the groups will receive a six-hour dementia care course. Then, only the experimental group will receive a half-day interprofessional education workshop, maintain a six-month interprofessional practice model, and join interprofessional practice experience-sharing conferences. The evaluation of outcomes will include the analyses of healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of dementia care. The evaluation times are to be before and after the dementia care course and after the six months of interprofessional practice. The other evaluation of outcome is comparison of the outcomes of hospitalized patients with dementia between the two groups before the interprofessional education workshop and after the interprofessional practice.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change of Dementia Care Knowledge
testing the change of professionals' Dementia Care Knowledge. The minimum value of this scale is 0, and the maximum value is 16.
Higher scores mean having better Dementia Care Knowledge.
Measured: Before education program(pre-intervention), after education program(10 months), after the workshop(10 months), after the six months interprofessional practice(post intervention)[about 8 months]
Secondary outcomes (7)
Change of dementia self-efficacy scale
testing professionals' dementia self-efficacy. The scale has not developed yet. It will be developed and test the reliability and validity in this study.
Measured: Before education program(pre-intervention), after education program(10 months), after the workshop(10 months), after the six months interprofessional practice(post intervention)[about 8 months]
mortality rate of hospitalized patients with dementia
understand the treatment outcomes of hospitalized patients with dementia before the interventions six months and after interventions six months.
Measured: about 2 years
length of stays of hospitalized patients with dementia
understand the treatment outcomes of hospitalized patients with dementia before the interventions six months and after interventions six months.
Measured: about 2 years
the incidence of fall hospitalized patients with dementia
understand the treatment outcomes of hospitalized patients with dementia before the interventions six months and after interventions six months.
Measured: about 2 years
the incidence of pain hospitalized patients with dementia
understand the treatment outcomes of hospitalized patients with dementia before the interventions six months and after interventions six months.
Measured: about 2 years
score of Beck depression inventory
testing psychological symptoms of hospitalized patients with dementia
Measured: about 2 years
score of Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI)
testing behavioral symptoms of hospitalized patients with dementia
Measured: about 2 years
