Abstract

Families providing care to relatives with Alzheimer’s disease are quickly destabilized by changes that disrupt communication. This pilot mixed-design study aimed to provide a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of a communication-based training program for carers of people with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. Five participants received three training sessions. The use of communication strategies by participants and their effectiveness were evaluated before and after the training, and a focus group was conducted to gather participants’ impressions about the impacts of the training on communication with the person they cared for. The AID-COM (AID for COMmunication) program appears to have met expectations.

为阿尔茨海默病患者亲属提供护理的家庭很快就会因沟通中断而变得不稳定。这项试点混合设计研究旨在为早期阿尔茨海默病患者的护理人员提供基于沟通的培训计划的定量和定性评估。五名参与者接受了三次培训。在培训前后评估了参与者对沟通策略的使用及其有效性，并成立了一个焦点小组，收集参与者对培训对与他们所关心的人沟通的影响的印象。AID-COM（通信AID）计划似乎达到了预期。
