The valid and reliable assessment of BPSD is essential to guide treatment and monitor the effect of interventions. The aim of this study was to identify behavioural assessment tools implemented in LTCH and factors that impact on their use in clinical care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"NLM_sec NLM_sec_level_1\">\n<h2 id=\"_i3\" class=\"section-heading-2\">Methods<\/h2>\n<p>We completed an online mixed-design survey of 300 randomly selected Canadian LTCH between September and November 2018. Respondents were asked to report tools used, reasons for use, methods of administration, training\/supports available, confidence in use and challenges faced. Survey results were summarized descriptively and the correlation between implementation supports and confidence examined. Free-text responses were analysed qualitatively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"NLM_sec NLM_sec_level_1\">\n<h2 id=\"_i4\" class=\"section-heading-2\">Results<\/h2>\n<p>Of 300 LTCH invited to participate, 103 completed the survey. Homes reported using a mean 2.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1 (range 0-7) different tools. The two most commonly used tools were the Dementia Observation System (DOS) and Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI). Overall confidence in most aspects of tool use was reported to be high, with workload identified as the greatest challenge. Training and supports correlated with confidence in tool use. Qualitative findings indicate tools provide valuable data to understand behaviours, facilitate team communication, target interventions and track outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"NLM_sec NLM_sec_level_1\">\n<h2 id=\"_i5\" class=\"section-heading-2\">Conclusions<\/h2>\n<p>Behavioural assessment tools, in particular a direct observation tool, are widely used in clinical care in Canadian LTCH. Education, enhanced resources, leadership support and applications of technology represent opportunities to improve their use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"studies-relation":[],"class_list":["post-4619","ccna_publication","type-ccna_publication","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
