The COVID-19 pandemic amplified the need for interventions to support community-dwelling families living with dementia. This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a remotely delivered weighted blanket intervention for people living with dementia, and the feasibility of collecting outcome measures specific to people with dementia and caregivers. A prospective, within subjects, pre-post design was used; 21 people with dementia and their caregivers participated. Measures of feasibility (days blanket was used for the recommended duration, injuries/adverse events, enrollment, and withdrawal rate, time to recruit sample) and acceptability (tolerability, satisfaction, and benefit perceived by participants with dementia and caregivers) were examined. Feasibility of collecting measures was examined through missing data. Results indicated high feasibility and acceptability. Collecting caregiver completed outcome measures was feasible, but measures completed by self-report by people with dementia was not. Weighted blankets are a promising tool for this population that warrant further examination to determine efficacy.

对痴呆症患者及其家庭护理人员进行远程加权综合干预的可行性和可接受性

COVID-19 大流行扩大了对干预措施的需求,以支持患有痴呆症的社区居住家庭。本研究检验了针对痴呆症患者远程提供加权综合干预的可行性和可接受性,以及收集针对痴呆症患者和护理人员的结果测量值的可行性。使用了前瞻性的、主题内的事前事后设计;21 名痴呆症患者及其照顾者参加了。检查了可行性(针对推荐的持续时间、伤害/不良事件、登记和退出率、招募样本的时间)和可接受性(耐受性、满意度以及痴呆症参与者和看护者感知的益处)的措施。通过缺失数据检查收集措施的可行性。结果表明具有很高的可行性和可接受性。收集照顾者完成的结果测量是可行的,但痴呆症患者通过自我报告完成的测量是不可行的。加权毯子是这一人群的有前途的工具,需要进一步检查以确定疗效。
