Abstract

Purpose: To consider the value of a multiple measurement assessment approach to determine evidence of dementia for inclusion in research studies.

Method: The current descriptive study used screening data from a study implementing a pain clinical practice guideline in nursing homes. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling were used to test the measurement model of cognition.

Results: A total of 111 individuals were included. The model fit the data; however, two direct resident assessments indicated that 10% and 21% of participants had no dementia based on the Brief Interview for Mental Status and Pizza Test, respectively. All informant-based measures indicated that participants had dementia with the exception of one individual based on the AD8.

Conclusion: Findings supported the practicality of using a single direct assessment completed by the participant to identify whether the individual had evidence of cognitive impairment.

在养老院研究中识别痴呆参与者的实用筛选方法。

目的：考虑多重测量评估方法在确定痴呆证据以纳入研究中的价值。方法：目前的描述性研究使用的筛选数据，从一项研究实施疼痛临床实践指南在养老院。采用描述性统计和结构方程模型对认知测量模型进行检验。结果：共纳入111人。模型与数据拟合；然而，根据精神状态简短访谈和披萨测试，两项直接居民评估分别表明10%和21%的参与者没有痴呆症。所有基于信息的测量都表明，除了一个基于AD8的个体外，参与者都患有痴呆症。结论：研究结果支持使用参与者完成的单一直接评估来确定个体是否有认知障碍的证据的实用性。

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
