Development, Usability Testing, and Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of WeCareToFeedDysphagia: A Web-Based Tool to Reduce Burden in Caregivers of Community-Dwelling Persons with Dementia and Oropharyngeal Dysphagia (Preprint)

Liron Sinvani, Michael A. Diefenbach, Alexandra Perrin, Samantha Gordon et autres

BACKGROUND Oropharyngeal dysphagia (dysphagia) affects up to 86% of hospitalized patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD) and is a significant predictor of caregiver burden. Upon hospital discharge, caregivers face dramatic and persistent unmet dysphagia-related caregiving needs, yet no single …

Influencing basic behavioral mechanisms of action while targeting daily walking in sedentary adults at risk for cardiovascular disease: randomised factorial design protocol

Ashley M. Goodwin, Samantha Gordon, R.R. Sahni, Frank Vicari et autres

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, though it may be prevented by increasing physical activity (PA). When behaviour change techniques (BCTs) are bundled together, they increase PA, though which individual BCTs increase PA (and the behavioural mechanism …

Attitudes And Opinions Towards A Personalized Trial Approach To Increase Physical Activity Among Older Adults

Patrick L Robles, Samantha Gordon, Frank Vicari, Joan Duer-Hefele et autres

Reported outcomes from conventional, between-group randomized controlled trials are often based on a hypothetical average patient, limiting our understanding of individual responses to a given intervention. Personalized (N-of-1) trials offer a more tailored way to evaluate the efficacy for a given patient, …

A Personalized Trial Series Testing Behavior Change Techniques To Increase Physical Activity In Older Adults

Ciarán P Friel, Patrick L Robles, Thevaa Chandereng, Frank Vicari et autres

Behavior change techniques (BCTs) are recognized as a key component of behavior change interventions. While many interventions use BCTs to promote changes in physical activity, most use a combination of BCTs delivered concurrently. Further, these studies usually look at aggregated and between-subject …

Reducing Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia in Acutely Ill Patients via Patient Engagement Specialists: A Pilot Feasibility Study

Liron Sinvani, Andrew Strunk, Suzanne Ardito, Samantha Gordon et autres

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are common in hospitalized persons living with dementia (PLWD). This pilot aimed to test the feasibility of an innovative model of care, PES-4-BPSD (a dementia unit staffed with Patient Engagement Specialists, PES). Non-randomized pilot feasibility …
