简要总结
This project aims to improve knowledge regarding Alzheimer's dementia and related dementias (ADRD) among older adults and their caregivers in Vietnam and promote the early diagnosis of ADRD using a digital storytelling intervention.
详细描述
This study will develop and test a Digital Storytelling intervention to improve older adults' and caregivers' knowledge of ADRD and to facilitate early diagnosis in rural areas of Vietnam. The Digital Storytelling Intervention includes interactive multimedia modules for motivating behavior change and improving knowledge and attitudes toward ADRD among older adults and their caregivers through the power and voices of patients with mild to moderate ADRD, older persons with cognitive concerns, and their caregivers. Mobile Health technology (Computerized Intervention Authoring System - CIAS) will be used to deliver the intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Intervention Feasibility: Participant Recruitment and Retention
时间窗: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6
Feasibility will be assessed using recruitment and retention records, including the number of participants approached, reasons for ineligibility or refusal, and study completion rates.
Intervention Engagement: Interaction Records from CIAS
时间窗: Month 3, Month 6
Engagement will be assessed using the number of videos watched.
Intervention Engagement: Exit Interview
时间窗: Month 6
Information on participants' experiences with the intervention will be collected through exit interviews.
Intervention Acceptability: System Usability Scale (SUS)
时间窗: Month 3, Month 6
SUS is a 10-item, 5-point Likert scale for subjective assessment of usability. The SUS scores range from 0 to 100. A score of \> 50 indicates that the technology-based interventions are acceptable.
ADRD Knowledge: Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS)
时间窗: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6
DKAS is a 25-item scale that evaluates dementia knowledge. Total scores range from 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater knowledge.
Attitudes: Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS)
时间窗: Baseline, Month 3, Month 6
DAS is a 20-item, 7-point Likert scale assessing attitudes toward dementia and people living with dementia. Items are summed, with selected items reverse-coded as appropriate, to calculate a total score (range: 20-140). Higher scores indicate more positive attitudes.
次要结局
- ADRD Screening/Diagnosis(Month 3, Month 6)
- Quality of Life: SF-12(Baseline, Month 3, Month 6)
