What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Dementia Care Professional Competency Assessment Scale
1. The scale was developed by our past research that was supported by the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology (Grant Number 106-2511-S-255-002-MY3). The scale is used to evaluate dementia care competency in dementia case managers (Huang et al., 2018).
2. This Scale contains nine subscales (74 items), using Likert 5-point Likert scale from 1 to 5. A higher score means better competencies.
3. This scale is used to evaluate the competence of dementia case managers.
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, and 6 months. Change from Baseline Dementia Care Professional Competency at 1, 3, and 6 months.
Problem solving, Teamwork Competency Assessment Scale
1. The scale was developed by our past research that was supported by the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology (Grant Number 106-2511-S-255-002-MY3). There are 22 questions on this scale. The scale is used to evaluate the problem solving and teamwork competency of Dementia case managers. (Huang et al. 2018).
2. This scale contains 22 items.10 items were used to evaluate problem solving competencies, 12 items were used to evaluate teamwork competencies. A higher score means better competencies.
3. This scale is used to evaluate the competence of dementia case managers.
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, and 6 months. Change from Baseline Problem solving, Teamwork Competency at 1, 3, and 6 months.
Caregiver Preparedness Scale - Professional version
1. This scale was developed by our research team by referring to The Preparedness for Caregiving Scale (PCS) developed by Archbold et al. This scale is to rate how well prepared they believe they are for caregiving (Archbold et al.,1990; Huang, Kuo, et al., 2013).
2. This 11-items scale was scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (unprepared) to 5 (well prepared). Scores range from 11 to 55, with higher scores representing greater preparedness for caregiving tasks. A final question is an open-end question.
3. This scale is used to evaluate the competence of dementia case managers.
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, and 6 months. Change from Baseline Caregiver Preparedness - Professional at 1,3, and 6 months.
Qualitative interview
Conduct qualitative interviews with dementia case managers, focusing on the effectiveness of the training program.
Measured: The investigators will conduct qualitative interviews after intervention for 1 month. Change from Baseline Qualitative interview at 1 month.
Demographic data of persons with dementia and family caregivers
1. The persons with dementia include age, gender, education level, marital status, period of illness, etc.
2. The family caregivers include age, gender, education level, marital status, etc.
Measured: We will collect demographic data of dementia and family caregivers on the day before the start date of intervention.
36-item short-form health survey (SF-36)
1. Ware J. E., \& Sherbourne, C. D. (1992). The MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36): I. Conceptual framework and item selection. Medical care, 473-483.
2. The SF-36 measures eight scales, with higher scores representing the greater quality of life.
3. This scale is used to assess the quality of life for people with dementia and their family caregivers .
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.Change from Baseline 36-item short-form health survey at 1,3,6 and 12 months.
Dementia Case Management Needs Scale
1. The scale was developed by our past research that was supported by the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology (Grant Number 109-2511-H-255-004 -). This scale was used to Investigate the needs of case management for family caregivers with dementia in the community.
2. This Scale uses Likert 5-point Likert scale from 1 to 5, with higher scores representing greater demand for family caregivers.
3. This scale is used to evaluate family caregivers.
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Change from Baseline Dementia Case Management Needs at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI)
1. Dementia's behavioral problems were measured by the Chinese version of the CMAI, community form (Cohen-Mansfield, J et al. 1989, 1991, C.K.Y. Lai, pers. comm.).
2. The 43-item CMAI has four subscales that assess four groups of behavioral problems: physically non-aggressive behavior, physically aggressive behavior, verbally aggressive behavior and verbally non-aggressive behavior. Each item's score ranges from 1 (never happened) to 7 (several times in an hour). Scores can range from 43-301, with higher scores representing more frequent or more types of behavioral problems.
3. This scale is used to evaluate family caregivers.
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Change from Baseline behavioral problems (CMAI) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Agitation Management Self-Efficacy Scale (AMSS)
1. Family caregivers' self-efficacy for caring agitated behavior of older people with dementia was measured by the Agitation Management Self-Efficacy Scale (AMSS), which was developed by our research team. (Huang, Shyu, Chen, \& Hsu, 2009)
2. For each of the 43 behavioral problems identified by the Chinese version of the CMAI, caregivers are asked how confident they feel about handling the problem. Each AMSS item is scored on a Likert-type scale from 1 (not able to handle at all) to 5 (totally able to handle). Total scores range from 43-215. Higher scores represent greater caregiver self-efficacy to handle behavioral problems.
3. This scale is used to evaluate family caregivers.
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Change from Baseline caregiver self-efficacy to handle behavioral problems (AMSS) at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Caregiver Preparedness Scale - family caregiver version
1. This scale was developed by our research team by referring to The Preparedness for Caregiving Scale (PCS) developed by Archbold et al. This scale is to rate how well prepared they believe they are for caregiving (Archbold et al.,1990; Huang, Kuo, et al., 2013).
2. This 11-items scale was scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (unprepared) to 5 (well prepared). Scores range from 11 to 55, with higher scores representing greater preparedness for caregiving tasks. A final question is an open-end question.
3. This scale is used to evaluate family caregivers.
Measured: The investigators will evaluate before the intervention, and after intervention for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Change from Baseline Caregiver Preparedness -family caregiver at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
