Summary

An multi-stage mixed-method design will be employed to obtain both qualitative and quantitative data to address two study aims: (1) Evaluate and refine the delivery Reducing Disabilities in Alzheimer's Disease (RD- AD) training to advanced practice nurses and (2) Evaluate and refine the implementation of RD-AD by advanced practice nurses in their medical settings.

Detailed description

Two waves of APNs (25 each wave/total 50) will receive RDAD training and be queried pre and post- training using both qualitative and quantitative procedures to determine: (1) Is RDAD training successfully received by advanced practice nurses? (2) Do they report it as relevant to improving the care they deliver to persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)? (3) Does RDAD training of advanced practice nurses improve their level of knowledge about ADRD, their skills in providing ADRD care, and their level of confidence in providing this care? A subset of advanced practice nurses (5 per wave, total of 10) will be recruited to implement RDAD as part of their ongoing care of persons with ADRD.

Conditions

TypeNameDescription
BEHAVIORALRDAD TrainingAn interactive processes of lecture, role-play, and discussion, APNs will have the opportunity to dissect all phases of RDAD to insure they understand the objectives, can enact the program, and feel confident they can problem-solve situations that arise. APNs will receive materials to insure they are knowledgeable about ADRD symptoms, behavior management techniques, and exercise safety.
