项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The proposed R01 project will feature a robust collaboration between Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS-MN) and the University of Minnesota to evaluate the “Porchlight Project,” a novel adaption of its volunteer programs that serve older persons with Alzheimer’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease related dementia (AD/ADRD). The Porchlight Project is multicomponent training delivered to volunteers and includes three established online training modules on person-centered dementia care; a four-session online training program that demonstrates to volunteers how to apply person-centered dementia care knowledge to their interactions with persons with dementia and their caregivers; and ongoing monthly coaching sessions. We will evaluate the real-world efficacy of the Porchlight Project throughout Minnesota and randomly assign a minimum of 171 persons with AD/ADRD, family caregivers, and volunteers across 19 Regional Program Coordinator regions to one of two groups: one that receives the Porchlight Project over a 12-month period and a usual care control condition that receives standard volunteer support. An embedded experimental mixed methods design will be utilized that will incorporate various qualitative data collection elements within the 12-month randomized controlled evaluation of the Porchlight Project (Stage III of the NIH Stage Model). Twelve month outcomes that we hypothesize the Porchlight Project will influence include: 1) increased volunteer competence; 2) increases in quality of life and reduced loneliness for the person with AD/ADRD; and 3) increased self-efficacy, decreased stress, and improved well-being for caregivers. The Porchlight Project offers a potentially efficient, wide-ranging service model for states and communities to implement that can facilitate the “dementia capability” of their various volunteer programs. Moreover, creating effective linkages to community-based long-term services and supports addresses several goals of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease as well as the recent Dementia Care Services and Support summits.

项目概要/摘要拟议的 R01 项目将与明尼苏达州路德教会社会服务机构之间进行强有力的合作 (LSS-MN) 和明尼苏达大学评估其志愿者的小说改编作品“Porchlight Project” 为患有阿尔茨海默病或阿尔茨海默病相关痴呆症的老年人提供服务的计划（AD/ADRD）Porchlight 项目是向志愿者提供的多部分培训，包括三个部分。建立了以人为本的痴呆症护理在线培训模块；为期四节的在线培训计划；向志愿者展示如何将以人为本的痴呆症护理知识应用到他们的互动中与痴呆症患者及其护理人员一起进行；以及每月持续的辅导课程。门廊灯项目在整个明尼苏达州的真实效果，并随机分配至少 171 19 个区域项目协调员地区的 AD/ADRD 患者、家庭护理人员和志愿者两组之一：一组接受为期 12 个月的门廊灯项目和常规护理控制获得标准志愿者支持的条件将是嵌入式实验混合方法设计。利用该方法将在 12 个月的随机研究中纳入各种定性数据收集元素 Porchlight 项目（NIH 阶段模型的第三阶段）的受控评估我们接受的 Porchlight 项目将产生的影响包括：1) 提高志愿者能力；2) 提高提高 AD/ADRD 患者的生活质量并减少孤独感；3) 提高自我效能；减少压力并改善护理人员的福祉，Porchlight 项目提供了一种潜在的高效、供各州和社区实施的广泛服务模式，以促进“痴呆症” 此外，与社区建立有效的联系。长期服务和支持可实现国家应对阿尔茨海默病计划的几个目标以及最近的痴呆症护理服务和支持峰会。
