Brief Summary:
The primary goal of the study is documentation of effectiveness of a home-based intervention to reduce caregiver burden related to dementia caregiving improve caregiver health status and reduce caregiver and care recipient resource utilization
Detailed Description:
This study focuses on an underserved understudied population African American and White homebound persons with dementia and their caregivers CGs Severe dementia frailty multiple disabling co-morbid diseases lack of transportation inability to afford or obtain a sitter for the care recipient CR and lack of time in a CGs burdened daily schedule may prevent care dyads caregivers and their family member with dementia from receiving services in primary care settings and from participating in clinical studies Homebound issues may be particularly important for African American CGs yet the minority CG literature has not addressed relevant issues for homebound dyads Nor are the chronic needs of homebound dementia care dyads adequately attended by the current home health care system which now focuses on skilled nursing care This study has been designed to address these research deficits The study will examine the benefit through improving depression anxiety and health perception and the cost-effectiveness of home-based dementia caregiving interventions with attention to both the informal care provided by the CG and the use of formal care services
Care dyads will be randomized to either Usual Care or Enhanced Care Both Usual Care and Enhanced Care caregivers will receive usual home health care delivered by home health nurses on the schedule determined by the patients needs and set by the home care agency For the Enhanced Care caregivers to ensure protocol adherence using the same schedule as the home health visits trained interventionists from the research staff will deliver the intervention The interventionists will teach dementia family caregivers to cope with difficult care recipient behaviors and challenges to caregiving and will teach caregivers how to cope with their own responses to caregiving Following established protocols and using fifth grade level pamphlets and educational material the interventionists will tailor the intervention sessions to meet the individual needs of each care dyad in their own home environment Enhanced Care sessions will not exceed 60 minutes Research specialists will perform data collection visits in the care dyads homes at baseline within 2 weeks of home care ending and six months
