简要总结
The purpose of the READyR study (originally called SHARE-sense) is to redevelop and test an intervention program to remotely assess for changing dementia-related care needs.
详细描述
Unmet dementia-related care needs are highly prevalent, and are detrimental to the care dyad's (person with dementia and their family care partner) health, safety, mortality, and likelihood of nursing home placement. The first phase of this study involves redevelopment of the intervention program into a 3-session values-based needs assessment intervention (delivered over 6 weeks) designed for early-stage persons with dementia and their primary family caregiver (i.e. spouse or partner). A secondary data analysis and focus groups will be conducted in order to complete the redevelopment phase. Objective digital data on behavioral patterns (from sensors and wearables) will be incorporated into a needs assessment that will allow for dynamic tailoring of the READyR program to new and unforeseen care needs.
People who voluntarily decide to participate in this study will be asked to participate in three sessions: Session 1 for baseline assessments gathered from all participants (including remote in-home monitoring), Session 2 for discussing the participant's care values and their alignment with current patterns of activities (assessed by remote monitoring) in the home, and Session 3 for addressing current dementia related care needs and setting goals for the future.
Participants who complete this study will be offered participation in a follow-up monitoring period to further study the possibilities for dynamic tailoring of their dementia-related needs assessment.

结局指标
主要结局
Mean difference effect sizes for pre-post change in the care dyad's relationship quality
时间窗: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
The Dyadic Relationship Scale assesses the positive dyadic interactions and negative dyadic strain experienced by caregivers (11 items) and care recipients (10 items). Items are averaged for a summary score that ranges from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more positive interactions in the relationship, or more relationship strain, respectively. Sebern, M.D. \& Whitlatch, C.J. (2007). Dyadic Relationship Scale: A measure of the impact of the provision and receipt of family care. The Gerontologist, 47(6), 741-751.
Mean difference effect sizes for pre-post change the care dyad's preparation for future care needs
时间窗: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
The Preparation for Future Care Needs Scale (Short Form) assesses the degree to which an individual has engaged in planning for future care needs in late life using 15 items and 5 subscales representing distinct planning processes (awareness, gathering information, decision making, concrete planning, avoidance). Items are scored on a 5 point Likert scale with higher scores indicating greater preparation for future care needs. Sorensen, S., Chapman, B. P., Duberstein, P. R., Pinquart, M., \& Lyness, J. M. (2017). Assessing future care preparation in late life: Two short measures. Psychol Assess, 29(12), 1480-1495.
