简要总结
The purpose of this study is to design a Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (NDR) training intervention to improve communication and address resolution of conflicts that family caregivers of patients with cognitive impairment and/or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) frequently experience.
详细描述
The goal of this study is to design a Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (NDR) training intervention to improve communication and address resolution of conflicts that family caregivers of patients with cognitive impairment and/or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) frequently experience. Specifically this study will:
Aim 1: Employ a caregiver (user)-centered design approach to modify and tailor a negotiations and dispute resolution (NDR) training intervention to support communication skills of family caregivers of adults with AD.
Aim 2: Utilizing Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), conduct a randomized controlled trial of the NDR intervention that targets better communication between caregivers and health teams to determine the feasibility of delivering the intervention, and derive estimates of the effect of 3 intervention components on changes in patient-centered outcomes at post-intervention and follow-up.
Exploratory Aim 3: Explore if intervention components (lectures/exercises) interact to change communication between caregivers and health care teams at post-intervention and follow-up.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Neuro-QoL Positive Affect and Well-Being Score
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) and 1 Month Post-intervention
Caregiver well-being as measured by the Positive Affect and Well-being scale for the Neurology Quality of Life (Neuro-QOL). The measure is a 9-item panel rating how caregivers experience feelings of positive affect and well-being. Responses are Likert scales, scored 1-5, Never (1), Rarely (2), Sometimes (3), Often (4), Always (5). Responses are summed for a final score and converted to a t-score per Neuro-QoL manual scoring conventions. Population mean T-Score is 50 and SD is 10. Higher scores indicate higher levels of Positive Affect and Well-Being. Positive change represents an increase in positive affect/well-being, and negative change represents a decrease.
