Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Dementia Care
  • Allied Health Education

Background:

  • Respite care programs for persons living with dementia (PLWD) are crucial for alleviating caregiver burden.
  • However, comprehensive evaluations of these vital programs remain limited.
  • Virtual intergenerational models offer a novel approach to respite care delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the participation experience of all stakeholders (care partners, PLWD, students) in the Time Out Weekly Smile (TOWS) virtual intergenerational respite program.
  • To identify key outcomes for future efficacy studies of respite care interventions.
  • To assess the impact of intergenerational interaction on dementia attitudes among allied health students.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-method pilot study design was employed.
  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with care partners, PLWD, and student volunteers post-participation.
  • Conventional content analysis was used for interview data, complemented by student surveys on dementia attitudes.

Main Results:

  • The TOWS program demonstrated significant mutual benefits for all participant groups.
  • Key positive outcomes included enhanced social connection and the creation of meaning for PLWD, care partners, and students.
  • Student participants showed positive shifts in dementia attitudes.

Conclusions:

  • The virtual intergenerational respite care model (TOWS) shows promise in benefiting persons with dementia, their care partners, and student volunteers.
  • Future efficacy studies should incorporate all participant groups to fully capture the impact of respite care.
  • Intergenerational programs can foster positive social interactions and contribute to the well-being of individuals affected by dementia.
