PROJECT ABSTRACT This study examines efficacy of a theoretically-based, positive health focused, tailored, nurse-delivered, family- centered intervention: “Daily Engagement in Meaningful Activity” (DEMA). DEMA is designed for older persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and family caregivers. Nearly 20% of Americans over 65 have MCI. Patients with MCI (patients) experience reduced life satisfaction due to patients’ increasing lack of confidence and diminished ability to perform meaningful and/or important activities, leading to diminished meaningful activity engagement, depressive symptoms, and anxiety. Caregivers lack confidence to manage their own and their patient’s daily challenges, leading to high caregiver burden, depressive symptoms, and anxiety. Patients and caregivers (dyads) report diminished satisfaction with their communication and relationship due to disagreements regarding the patient’s functional ability. Patient/caregiver behavioral interventions are more successful when they occur before progression to dementia. Previous cognitive intervention studies used limited, single domain foci (e.g., cognitive training, exercise, or nutrition) that may not be meaningful enough to sustain patient engagement long enough to improve life satisfaction. Emerging evidence, including our pilot studies, suggests regular engagement in self-identified meaningful activities can improve life satisfaction and depression and reduces risk of developing dementia. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine efficacy of DEMA compared to an information support (IS) attention control group. DEMA: 1) fosters active listening to increase dyad agreement in perceptions of patient functional ability; 2) helps dyads enhance engagement in and satisfaction with self-identified meaningful activities through problem solving to assess, prioritize, and achieve identified meaningful activity goals; 3) builds on patient’s existing interests and skills; and 4) provides information and didactic support to address priority concerns and dyad adjustment to functional changes and plan for the future. Specific aims are: 1) test DEMA’s efficacy for improve patient/ caregiver life satisfaction; 2) test DEMA’s efficacy to improve activity performance, depressive symptoms and anxiety in patients and burden, depressive symptoms, anxiety in caregivers; and, 3) explore a sub-sample of patients with higher depressive symptoms for improvement in health outcomes over time, compared to non- depressed patients. Eligible patient/caregiver dyads (n = 200) will be randomized to a 7-session DEMA or IS intervention, with data collected at baseline and 3 times over 9 months. Mixed model effects will be analyzed. If efficacious, DEMA will provide high impact on the care of patients and caregivers by maintaining their engagement in meaningful activities to improve patient and caregiver life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, anxiety, relationship satisfaction, activity performance, and caregiver burden. It will also provide information regarding the extent to which patients who have more depression may benefit and empirical evidence of the effectiveness of an intervention for translation into practice.

项目摘要 这项研究检验了以理论为基础、以积极健康为中心、量身定制、由护士提供、家庭护理的功效。 集中干预：“每日参与有意义的活动”（DEMA）是为老年人设计的。 65 岁以上的美国人中有近 20% 患有轻度认知障碍 (MCI)。 由于缺乏增强的信心，MCI 患者的生活满意度降低 以及执行有意义和/或重要活动的能力下降，导致有意义的活动减少 护理人员缺乏管理自己和焦虑的信心。 患者每天面临的挑战，导致护理人员的沉重负担、抑郁症状和焦虑。 和照顾者（二人组）报告称，由于以下原因，他们对沟通和关系的满意度下降 关于患者/护理人员行为干预能力的分歧更多。 当它们发生在进展为痴呆之前时是成功的。 有限的、单一领域的焦点（例如认知训练、锻炼或营养）可能没有足够的意义 保持足够长的时间患者参与以提高生活满意度，包括我们的试点。 研究表明，定期参与自我认定的有意义的活动可以提高生活满意度 抑郁症并降低患痴呆症的风险 这项随机对照试验的目的是 确定 DEMA 与信息支持 (IS) 注意力对照组相比的功效：1) 促进。 积极倾听，以提高二人对患者功能能力认知的一致性；2) 帮助二人增强； 通过解决问题来评估对自我认定的有意义的活动的参与和满意度， 确定优先顺序并实现已确定的有意义的活动目标；3) 以患者现有的兴趣和技能为基础； 4) 提供信息和教学支持，以解决优先问题和对 功能变化和未来计划是：1）测试 DEMA 改善患者/的功效。 照顾者的生活满意度；2) 测试 DEMA 改善活动表现、抑郁症状和 患者的焦虑和负担、抑郁症状、护理人员的焦虑，3) 探索子样本； 与非抑郁症状患者相比，随着时间的推移，患者的健康结果会得到改善 符合条件的患者/护理人员二人组 (n = 200) 将被随机分配至为期 7 次的 DEMA 或 IS。 干预，将分析基线和 9 个月内 3 次收集的数据。 如果有效，DEMA 将通过维持患者和护理人员的护理对他们的护理产生重大影响 参与有意义的活动，以提高患者和护理人员的生活满意度、抑郁症状、 它还将提供信息。 关于患有更多抑郁症的患者可能受益的程度以及经验证据 干预措施转化为实践的有效性。
