Abstract
The current mixed methods, embedded study evaluated the use of an online tool (Care to Plan [CtP]) that generates tailored service and support recommendations for dementia caregivers as well as information that can connect dementia caregiver users to recommended resources. Forty-three dementia caregivers identified in a health care system were randomly assigned to receive either CtP or usual care. The embedded, mixed methods design resulted in no quantitative, direct evidence for CtP's efficacy. Qualitative data revealed important insights into facilitators of and barriers to CtP use. Qualitative data also demonstrated that CtP helped caregivers obtain a better awareness of their needs and experiences. Clinicians may find CtP useful as an initial tool to spur memory care/case management and facilitate conversations about caregivers' needs and resources to meet individualized challenges.

目前的混合方法嵌入式研究评估了在线工具（Care to Plan[CtP]）的使用情况，该工具为痴呆症护理人员生成量身定制的服务和支持建议，以及将痴呆症护理用户与推荐资源联系起来的信息。在医疗保健系统中确定的43名痴呆症护理人员被随机分配接受CtP或常规护理。嵌入式、混合方法设计没有产生CtP疗效的定量、直接证据。定性数据揭示了对CtP使用的促进因素和障碍的重要见解。定性数据还表明，CtP帮助护理人员更好地了解他们的需求和经历。临床医生可能会发现CtP作为一种初始工具很有用，可以促进记忆护理/病例管理，并促进关于护理人员需求和资源的对话，以应对个性化挑战。[老年护理杂志，49（10），5-11。
