Study Summary
Background: Addressing behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms of Veterans with dementia and serious mental illness (SMI) such as schizophrenia can be challenging for staff in VA long-term care settings, called Community Living Centers or CLCs. These behaviors of distress (agitation, aggression, and mood disturbance) are not just associated with staff stress and burnout; they also hasten residents' functional decline, decrease quality of life, and increase mortality. Staff training in non-pharmacological interventions can be effective. Yet systems barriers, task-based care models, and time constraints often result in staff employing "quicker," less effective strategies. Montessori Approaches to Person-Centered Care for VA (MAP-VA)- a staff training, intervention, and delivery toolkit- developed in collaboration with VA operational partners, Veterans, and frontline CLC staff is positioned to respond to this challenge. The investigators' prior work shows probable impacts on CLC quality indicators at the individual and unit level (e.g., psychotropic medications, depressive symptoms, weight loss, falls, pain). The goal of this study is to evaluate the MAP-VA program and necessary supports for a successful implementation at 8 VA CLCs. Significance/ Innovation: VHA's Modernization Plan focuses on empowering front-line staff to lead quality improvement efforts like the ones taught through MAP-VA. MAP-VA is distinct from existing interventions in its: 1) application to Veterans with a range of diagnoses and cognitive abilities; 2) emphasis on pairing practical skill-building for staff with overcoming system-level barriers that inhibit person-centered care; and 3) engagement of all staff rather than a reliance on provider-level champions. Yet, MAP-VA is a complex intervention that requires participation of multiple stakeholder groups, making implementation facilitation necessary. To date, no studies have evaluated MAP implementation success in operational settings (communi
