Abstract Limited evidence supports the use of touch or massage for people with dementia. Interventions incorporating a person-centered approach to touch delivered by staff may benefit residents with dementia and staff in long-term care settings. The Compassionate Touch® (CT) program provides protocol-based, skilled human touch and compassionate presence. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore experiences and perspectives of staff who provided the CT intervention to residents with dementia three times per week for three weeks. Five staff and five residents with dementia in memory care settings participated in the study. Staff were individually interviewed after the three-week intervention, and NVivo 11 software was used for thematic analysis. Although the findings of the present study are preliminary, staff who delivered the CT program perceived positive impacts on themselves and residents with dementia. Programs such as CT may benefit staff and residents with dementia by promoting positive social interactions and giving joy within staff-resident dyads, increasing staff self-efficacy in caring for residents with dementia and residents’ responsiveness and calmness, and meeting residents’ needs for human touch and affection. Further rigorous studies are needed to measure effectiveness of the CT program on psychosocial outcomes of residents and care-related outcomes of staff.

长期护理人员为痴呆症患者提供的CompassionateTouch®:初步结果

摘要有限的证据支持对痴呆症患者使用触摸或按摩。结合以人为本的方法进行干预的干预可以使患有痴呆症的居民和长期护理人员受益。CompassionateTouch®(CT)程序可提供基于协议的熟练人为触摸感和同情心。这项定性研究的目的是探讨每周三次向痴呆症居民提供CT干预的员工的经验和观点,为期三周。五名员工和五名患有记忆障碍的痴呆症患者参加了这项研究。经过三周的干预,对员工进行了单独采访,并使用NVivo 11软件进行主题分析。尽管本研究的结果是初步的,实施CT计划的工作人员认为对自己和痴呆症患者都有积极影响。CT等计划可通过促进积极的社交互动并在员工与居民的二分法内带来快乐,提高员工在照顾痴呆症患者方面的自我效能感以及居民的反应能力和镇静作用,并满足居民对人类的需求,从而使痴呆症的员工和居民受益。触摸和喜爱。需要进行更严格的研究,以评估CT计划对居民心理社会后果和工作人员与护理有关的后果的有效性。提高员工的自我效能感,以照顾患有痴呆症的居民以及居民的反应能力和镇定态度,并满足居民对人的情感和情感的需求。需要进行更严格的研究,以评估CT计划对居民心理社会后果和工作人员与护理有关的后果的有效性。提高员工的自我效能感,以照顾患有痴呆症的居民以及居民的反应能力和镇定态度,并满足居民对人的情感和情感的需求。需要进行更严格的研究,以评估CT计划对居民心理社会后果和工作人员与护理有关的后果的有效性。
