Evidence for interventions promoting oral health amongst care home residents is weak. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline NG48 aims to maintain and improve the oral health of care home residents. A co-design process that worked with residents and care home staff to understand how the NG48 guideline could be best implemented in practice has been undertaken to refine a complex intervention. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of the intervention to inform a future larger scale definitive trial. This is a protocol for a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up that will be undertaken in 12 care homes across two sites (six in London, six in Northern Ireland). Care homes randomised to the intervention arm (n = 6) will receive the complex intervention based on the NG48 guideline, whilst care homes randomised to the control arm (n = 6) will continue with routine practice. The intervention will include a training package for care home staff to promote knowledge and skills in oral health promotion, the use of the Oral Health Assessment Tool on residents by trained care home staff, and a ‘support worker assisted’ daily tooth-brushing regime with toothpaste containing 1500 ppm fluoride. An average of ten residents, aged 65 years or over who have at least one natural tooth, will be recruited in each care home resulting in a recruited sample of 120 participants. Assessments will be undertaken at baseline, 6 months and 12 months, and will include a dental examination and questionnaires on general health and oral health administered by a research assistant. A parallel process evaluation involving semi-structured interviews will be undertaken to explore how the intervention could be embedded in standard practice. Rates of recruitment and retention, and intervention fidelity will also be recorded. A cost-consequence model will determine the relevance of different outcome measures in the decision-making context. The study will provide valuable information for trialists, policymakers, clinicians and care home staff on the feasibility and associated costs of oral health promotion in UK care homes.

改善养老院老年人的口腔健康 (TOPIC):可行性研究方案

在疗养院居民中促进口腔健康的干预措施的证据很弱。国家健康与护理卓越研究所 (NICE) 指南 NG48 旨在维持和改善护理院居民的口腔健康。与居民和疗养院工作人员合作的共同设计过程,以了解如何在实践中最好地实施 NG48 指南,以完善复杂的干预措施。本研究的目的是评估干预的可行性,为未来更大规模的最终试验提供信息。这是一项实用集群随机对照试验的协议,该试验将在两个地点的 12 家养老院(伦敦 6 家,北爱尔兰 6 家)进行为期 12 个月的随访。随机分配到干预组(n = 6)的养老院将接受基于 NG48 指南的复杂干预,而随机分配到对照组(n = 6)的养老院将继续进行常规实践。干预措施将包括为疗养院工作人员提供一揽子培训计划,以促进口腔健康促进的知识和技能,由训练有素的疗养院工作人员对居民使用口腔健康评估工具,以及“支持工作者协助”的日常刷牙制度。含 1500 ppm 氟化物的牙膏。每个护理院将平均招募 10 名年龄在 65 岁或以上且至少拥有一颗天然牙齿的居民,从而招募到 120 名参与者。评估将在基线、6 个月和 12 个月进行,并将包括由研究助理管理的牙科检查和关于一般健康和口腔健康的问卷。将进行涉及半结构化访谈的并行过程评估,以探索如何将干预嵌入标准实践中。还将记录招募和保留率以及干预保真度。成本后果模型将确定不同结果措施在决策背景下的相关性。该研究将为试验者、决策者、临床医生和疗养院工作人员提供有关在英国疗养院促进口腔健康的可行性和相关成本的宝贵信息。ISRCTN10276613。2020 年 4 月 17 日注册。http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN10276613。将进行涉及半结构化访谈的并行过程评估,以探索如何将干预嵌入标准实践中。还将记录招募和保留率以及干预保真度。成本后果模型将确定不同结果措施在决策背景下的相关性。该研究将为试验者、决策者、临床医生和疗养院工作人员提供有关在英国疗养院促进口腔健康的可行性和相关成本的宝贵信息。ISRCTN10276613。2020 年 4 月 17 日注册。http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN10276613。将进行涉及半结构化访谈的并行过程评估,以探索如何将干预嵌入标准实践中。还将记录招募和保留率以及干预保真度。成本后果模型将确定不同结果措施在决策背景下的相关性。该研究将为试验者、决策者、临床医生和疗养院工作人员提供有关在英国疗养院促进口腔健康的可行性和相关成本的宝贵信息。ISRCTN10276613。2020 年 4 月 17 日注册。http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN10276613。成本后果模型将确定不同结果措施在决策背景下的相关性。该研究将为试验者、决策者、临床医生和疗养院工作人员提供有关在英国疗养院促进口腔健康的可行性和相关成本的宝贵信息。ISRCTN10276613。2020 年 4 月 17 日注册。http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN10276613。成本后果模型将确定不同结果措施在决策背景下的相关性。该研究将为试验者、决策者、临床医生和疗养院工作人员提供有关在英国疗养院促进口腔健康的可行性和相关成本的宝贵信息。ISRCTN10276613。2020 年 4 月 17 日注册。http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN10276613。
