Summary
This study evaluates online versus in-person dementia caregiver training for effectiveness in improving clinician competence and patient/caregiver outcomes. Findings will guide scalable implementation of evidence-based dementia support programs.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Health Services Research
- Translational Science
Background:
- Limited scalability of evidence-based dementia caregiver programs hinders access for many US families.
- A key barrier to implementing dementia support programs is the lack of user-friendly, scalable training modalities.
- Current access to evidence-based dementia caregiver support remains low.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the protocol for evaluating the implementation of the Care of Persons in their Environment (COPE) program within Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).
- To determine if self-paced, online COPE training is non-inferior to traditional in-person training.
- To assess the impact on clinician knowledge, patient symptoms, caregiver outcomes, and therapeutic alliance.
Main Methods:
- Pragmatic, multisite randomized controlled non-inferiority trial (NCT04165213).
- Type III hybrid effectiveness-implementation design.
- Ongoing trial across 10 PACE settings in the US.
Main Results:
- This section is not available in the provided abstract.
Conclusions:
- The study design offers a framework for program adaptation and fidelity monitoring to enhance scalability.
- Findings will inform future translational efforts for evidence-based dementia caregiver support.

Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
