Study Summary
This project will compare two training models of an evidence-based online dementia care training program for direct care staff in assisted living to a waitlist control: 1) essentiALZ training and 2) essentiALZ training + Project ECHO. It will examine the extent to which each model is implemented and achieves its intended outcomes to improve staff knowledge and attitudes, change care practices, and improve the wellbeing of staff, residents, and residents' family members. Results will inform next steps in dementia care training for the assisted living (AL) and broader long-term care workforce. To examine these outcomes, data will be collected from AL staff and families over the course of 6 months. Staff will complete questionnaires and participate in interviews (as applicable) at baseline, post-training, 3-months, and 6-months. Families will participate in interviews at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months.
Primary Outcome
Sense of Competence in Dementia Care (SCIDS) is a 17-item instrument. Responses are indicated using a 4-point Likert scale. Minimum score (worst value) = 1. Maximum score (best value) = 4. Higher values represent a better outcome (range 17-68). Measure is assessed at Baseline Questionnaire, a 3-month Follow Up Questionnaire and at a 6-month Follow Up Questionnaire.
