Résumé

Détail

Voir le détail Context : Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) arouse researchers' interest because they are frequent manifestations responsible for a large share of the suffering of patients and caregivers. Apathy is the most frequent of them. Systematic literature reviews on non-pharmacological treatment for BPSD indicates that some technique and more particularly residential care staff training program appear to have promising results, even if the level of evidence of efficacy remains moderate partly because of the paucity of scientific quality research in this area. The most of them comes from Anglo-Saxon country. In France, the TNM en EHPAD study demonstrated the staff training program efficacy regarding to the management of behavioral positive symptoms such as agitation or aggressiveness compared to a control group Aims of the study : The aims of the study is to evaluate the short and medium term effectiveness of staff training program to manage and stimulate patients with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or associated disorders and presenting BPSD of the apathy type and living in nursing homes. Description : A Randomized controlled trial (randomization by nursing home) presents as a routine clinical procedure according to the French regulation. Raters and our statistician are unaware and blind to the randomization. The trial takes place in 4 nursing homes. To be included, patients are older than 65 years with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or associated disorder and present the diagnostic criteria of apathy, within a moderate to severe stage of the disease. Data are collected at baseline, month 1 and at month 4, namely 3 months after the end of the training programme thanks to the Apathy Inventory Clinician version (AI-C), the Neuropsychiatric Inventory for the staff members (NPI-ES), the AD QOL, an Observation Scale and a qualitative analysis of the official caregiver's knowledge and perception about BPSD especially apathy and their expectations concerning the training program.
