1 WE CAN DO BETTER: Helping People with Dementia and Their Families Live at Home with Quality of Life Laura N. Gitlin, Ph.D. Professor, School of Nursing, School of Medicine Director, Center for Innovative Care in Aging Johns Hopkins University Prepared for University of Sydney March 23, 2015
2 Overview What are unmet needs of people with dementia and family caregivers living at home? How can we address these needs? Promising interventions Project COPE Tailored Activity Program Where do we go from here?
3 Funding Sources and Attributions Research funded by: NIA NIMH NINR Alzheimer s Association PA Dept. of Health, Tobacco Funds Administration on Aging No disclosures/no sources of conflict Thanks to my many collaborators and teams working with me in developing, testing and implementing behavioral interventions
4 Case Snapshot Mr. Smith cares for his wife at home. She was diagnosed with dementia 4 years ago. He learned of the Alzheimer s Association from a neighbor (by chance) and received some helpful information from national and local chapters. Mr. Smith stopped working to care for his wife. He is becoming increasingly isolated and depressed. He is having difficulty managing Mrs. Smith s increasing physical dependence and behavioral symptoms including her pacing, repetitive questioning, trying to leave home, misplacing keys, rejecting his help. He is not sure how to engage her and is concerned about her quality of life. Mr. Smith does not receive any in-home help, and Mrs. Smith s physician has put her on anticholinesterase medications that do not appear to be effective. HOW CAN WE HELP MR. AND MRS SMITH? WHAT INTERVENTIONS/TREATMENTS ARE EFFECTIVE?
5 Six Primary Goals of Dementia Care Improve and maintain quality of life Prevent, reduce/minimize, address behavioral symptoms Maintain function and engagement in activities Attend to medical management of comorbidities Support families Care coordination Callahan et al., Health Affairs, 2014; Sink, et al JAMA. 2005; Avalon et al., Arch Intern Med. 2006; Hinton et al., J. Gen Intern Med, 2007; Lingler et al., J Am Geriatr Soc

8 NPS fluctuate after Dementia Onset N=328 Cache County Study Number and severity of NPS increased over time but course was variable and episodic. Rate of change in NPS was correlated weakly, if at all, with rate of change in cognition or function. Tschanz et al, Am J Geriatr Psychiatry, 2012

10 Etiologies of Behavioral Symptoms and Functional Decline Behavioral Symptoms Functional disability
11 Project COPE Care of Persons with Dementia in their Environments Gitlin et al, 2010 JAMA
12 Clinical Trajectory COPE Dyadic Focus Normal Pre- Clinical Mild Cognitive Impairment Early State Dementia Moderate Stage Dementia Severe Stage Dementia TREATMENT GOALS Treatment and Symptom Management Reduction of excess disability Prevention and management of behaviors Caregiver support and education McKhann et al., 2011, Albert et al., 2011, Sperling et al, 2011 and Jack et al., May 2011 Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association
13 PROJECT COPE Study Desig8n (N=208) 2 weeks 72 hours Recruitment Screening Baseline Assessment (N = 272) Treatment Randomization gender/relationship 2 weeks Attention Control 4 Months Post Baseline 9 Months Post Baseline Follow-up Assessment 1 Follow-up Assessment 2 Follow-up Assessment 1 Follow-up Assessment 2
14 Profile of COPE Participants (N=239) Persons with dementia Mean = 82.4 (8.9) Female = 68.4% 27.3% African American Mean MMSE = 13.4 Medications: 95 (40.1%) on anti-depressants 77 (32.5%) on medications for behaviors 108 (45.6%) on pain medications 173 (73.3%) on memory enhancers Average # of behaviors = 6.0 High functional dependence Caregiver Mean age =62.2 Female = 89% Non-spouse = 62.2%
15 Nurse Visit to Discuss Medical Issues Provide caregiver education about: Pain Dehydration Infection Constipation Polypharmacy Discuss taking Care of self
16 Examine Individual with Dementia Nurse tests sample with Chemstrip 10 test strip: Positive outcomes cultured at lab Nurse screens for blood abnormalities Hgb, Hct., wbc, rbc, electrolytes, glucose, TSH and T4 Physical exam Laboratory results shared with caregiver
17 Occupational Therapist Visits: Assessment Phase (session 1-3) PwD capabilities, deficits, physical function executive function CG readiness, knowledge, care challenges, risk areas Home safety and supportive features Implementation Phase (session 4-8) Identification of targeted problem areas Problem solving and brainstorming strategies Implement and evaluate strategy effectiveness Knowledge building and strategies: Communicating effectively Simplifying environment Using activities Managing their own stress and taking care of self Generalizabiltiy Phase (session 9-10) Preparing for the future Using strategies for other care challenges
18 Key Communication Strategies for Families Use 1 or 2 step simple verbal commands or demonstration Speak slowly Use brief, simple statements Eliminate questions/ comments that are abstract (vs. questions) Offer no more than 2 choices Use cueing (touch or verbal)
19 Redirection, Go with Flow, Reassurance Behavior: My wife sometimes insists on going home when sitting in our living room. Strategy: Go along with your family member s beliefs (avoid confrontation and do not rationalize); provide reassurance, redirect; they may not recognize they are home; take a short walk
20 Verbal Cues Behavior: My husband keeps asking me the what day it is and what we will read in bible study. Strategy: Provide 1- step verbal cue to check the calendar
21 Use Written Visual Cues Behavior: My sister doesn t seem to know what to do in the morning. Strategy: Provide visual prompts - reminder notes
22 Simplifing the Environment e.g., Decluttering
23 Nothing to Do
24
25 Introduce Familiar Activity Behavior: Because my wife can t do anything right, I do it myself. Strategy: Lower expectations and demands; relax the rules Introduce activities that tap into previous roles
