Feasibility of Implementing Dementia Collaborative Coaching into Routine Care in Nursing Homes.
Objectives: The study evaluated the feasibility of implementing Dementia Collaborative Coaching (DCC) into the routine workflow of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in nursing homes (NHs). DCC is an intervention delivered by SLPs to train nursing assistants (CNAs) in communication strategies to support people living with dementia (PLWD).
Methods: We assessed the feasibility of identifying eligible PLWD; estimated intervention fidelity; evaluated suitability of outcome measures; and determined the preliminary impact on behavioral and psychological symptoms of distress (BPSD) among PLWD. SLPs completed a semi-structured interview to collect further acceptability data.
Results: Four SLPs in four NHs completed DCC with 10 CNAs and 15 eligible PLWD that they appropriately identified from their caseloads. SLPs conducted 90 DCC sessions with 64% fidelity and billed Medicare for all sessions. The outcome measure of Minimum Data Set item E0200B: Rejection of Care did not vary enough to be useful, but positive changes were noted on the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory, t(14) = 10.51, p < .001, Cohen's d = 2.76. Interviews further indicated feasibility.
Conclusions: It is feasible to implement DCC into the workflow of SLPs in NHs.
Clinical implications: Given the feasibility and preliminary positive impacts, SLPs could consider implementing DCC in routine care.
