Summary statement on implications for practice

What does this research add to existing knowledge in gerontology?

  • The home-based multi-sensory cognitive stimulation intervention was feasible and demonstrated promising effects on the well-being of the PWD-caregiver dyads and their relationship during the pandemic.
  • We found no evidence suggesting that a caregiver-delivered intervention would place caregivers under stress. Instead, we found that such an intervention improved the caregiving experience.

What are the implications of this new knowledge for nursing care with older people?

  • The home-based multi-sensory cognitive stimulation intervention can be used as an alternative intervention during the pandemic when face-to-face group interventions cannot feasibly be carried out.
  • The intervention could be further extended to people with dementia who have fewer opportunities to receive interventions from a trained professional (e.g. those living in rural areas).
  • Our home-based multi-sensory cognitive stimulation intervention can serve as a reference for the design of a home-based intervention for other countries that have also been impacted by the pandemic.

How could the findings be used to influence policy or practice or research or education?

  • Policymakers/clinicians should give greater consideration to the widespread use of home-based interventions in the future as such interventions can be flexibly adapted to crises where face-to-face interventions delivered by professionals are not feasible.
  • A large randomised controlled trial is required to confirm the effectiveness of our home-based multi-sensory cognitive stimulation intervention.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间对患有痴呆症的老年人和照顾者二人进行基于家庭的多感官认知刺激干预的试点评估

对实践影响的总结陈述

这项研究对老年学的现有知识有何补充?

  • 以家庭为基础的多感官认知刺激干预是可行的,并且在大流行期间对 PWD 照顾者二人组的福祉及其关系显示出有希望的影响。
  • 我们没有发现任何证据表明看护者提供的干预会使看护者承受压力。相反,我们发现这种干预改善了看护体验。

这些新知识对老年人的护理有何意义?

  • 当无法切实进行面对面的小组干预时,以家庭为基础的多感官认知刺激干预可以作为大流行期间的替代干预。
  • 干预可以进一步扩展到痴呆症患者,他们很少有机会接受训练有素的专业人员的干预(例如,生活在农村地区的人)。
  • 我们的居家多感官认知刺激干预可以为其他同样受到疫情影响的国家设计居家干预提供参考。

这些发现如何用于影响政策或实践或研究或教育?

  • 政策制定者/临床医生应更多地考虑在未来广泛使用以家庭为基础的干预措施,因为此类干预措施可以灵活地适应专业人员提供面对面干预措施不可行的危机。
  • 需要一项大型随机对照试验来确认我们基于家庭的多感官认知刺激干预的有效性。
