Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The evaluation of the implementability of the developed dual-task intervention will be conducted along Proctor et al.'s (2011) taxonomy of implementation outcomes and will include the following primary outcome measures: i. Acceptability ii. Adoption iii. Appropriateness iv. Feasibility v. Fidelity vi. Penetration vii. Sustainability After each intervention unit, the persons carrying out the intervention complete a documentation form. At the end of each program unit, the participants themselves also evaluate how they liked it (positive/negative/neutral). During the intervention weeks 1-2, 6-7 and 11-12 observations take place during the intervention units. The following outcome measures will be collected using the following instruments: -Engagement of participants: Engagement of a person with dementia scale (EPWDS). -Emotions during the intervention units: Observed Emotion Rating Scale (OERS). -Social Interaction during Intervention Units: Social Observation Behaviors Residents Index (SOBRI). Interviews concerning the implementation were made after the intervention with participants, care personell and coaches. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome measures include the following parameters to test the effectiveness of the intervention: i. Cognitive performance ii. Physical performance iii. Functional mobility iv. Social inclusion v. Loneliness vi. Frequency of falls vii. Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). viii. Depression Secondary outcome measures will be collected as part of an assessment immediately before and after the 12-week intervention period i. Cognitive performance: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test or MMSE. ii. Physical performance: Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB); sensor-based spatio-temporal gait parameters will be collected through soles in participants' shoes. Gait testing will be conducted under different dual-task conditions. Balance testing in the SPPB will be performed on a sensor plate. iii. Functional mobility: timed up and go test. iv. Social inclusion: social network analysis (with complementary qualitative questions in terms of a mixed methods SNA). v. Loneliness: 3-item UCLA loneliness Scale (conducted as an interview). vi. Frequency of falls: nursing documentation vii. Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD): Neuropsychiatric Inventory - Nurse Home Version (NPI-NH). viii. Depression: Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia. After the end of the intervention, interviews on the individual perceived impact of the intervention were made with participants, involved caregivers and movement coaches Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) | — |
