Primaire uitkomstmaten
Persons with Dementia: Self-management will be assessed with the Self-Management Abilities Scale-shortened (SMAS-S; Steverink, 2009) and social participation by: the Maastricht Social Participation Profile (MSPP; Mars et al., 2009), ASCOT social contact (Van Leeuwen et al, 2015) and the short version of the Pleasurable Activities List (PAL; Roozen et al, 2008 & Kerkhof et al., 2019).
Carers: Sense of competence will be measured with the Short Sense of Competence Scale (SSCQ; Vernooij-Dassen, 1999)
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted in which people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia and carers are randomly assigned, after stratification (cohabit with carer or not) to an experimental group receiving a tablet with the FindMyApps intervention (training and selection tool) or a control group receiving usual care (i.e. receiving a tablet with a general user manual and possibility to enter the usual App store [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_store] but without the FindMyApps intervention). Two measurements will be conducted: before the intervention starts (T0) and after 3 months intervention (T1). Primary outcomes for people with dementia will be: self-management and social participation; and for carers: sense of competence. Secondary outcomes for people with dementia will be: self-efficacy, experienced autonomy, behaviour and mood symptoms, quality of life; and for carers: positive care experience and quality of life. To check if the recruited sample is representative for people with mild dementia we will compare the data of the study sample with a similar group (people with mild dementia and their carers) in the TOPIC-MDS database. An economic evaluation will be conducted from a societal perspective based on health, social and informal care and intervention costs. A budget impact analysis will be conducted from a societal, care provider and care insurer’s perspective.
Doel van het onderzoek
Community-dwelling people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia who receive the FindMyApps intervention benefit from higher levels of self-management and social participation than Community-dwelling people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia who receive a tablet alone.
