Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The number of leaks (subdivided into leaks with change of clothing and / or bedding) per client per week is the primary outcome measure. Leaks with associated changing activities are very disruptive for clients. Moreover, this has the most impact on the workload (changing clothes and bedding is time-intensive and physically demanding) of caregivers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Quality of life of the client Quality of life (Mood Interest and Pleasure Questionnaire (MIPQ) recommended in the "Basic Minimum Data Set for intellectual disability of ZonMw") is an important secondary outcome measure. The MIPQ has been developed to validate and evaluate the state of mind of adults with profound multiple disabilities in a valid and reliable way through observation. The MIPQ will be completed by both the caregiver and an informal caregiver. Work-related well-being Work-related well-being will be assessed by means of an interview with the care providers (qualitative data). Topics include experienced work pace and work quantity, involvement, job satisfaction, interactions with colleagues, mental and physical strain. Parameters incontinence care During the study, data on incontinence care will be collected at all measurement moments during one week in both the intervention condition (use of the Nova) and in the waiting list control condition (standard care): number of changes per 24 hours; number of unnecessary changes; time investment of a change; skin health and any skin problems / care for skin problems; material and washing costs. This data are also important for the cost-effectiveness and utility analysis. Cost-effectiveness analysis The economic evaluation concerns a combination of a cost-effectiveness analysis (KEA) and a cost-utility analysis (KUA). In the KEA, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (IKER) is expressed as the incremental cost per improvement on number of leaks per week. | — |
