摘要
非裔美国人阿尔茨海默氏症护理人员培训和支持项目2 (ACTS2)是一个信仰整合,技能建设和支持项目,主要关注佛罗里达州的黑人护理人员(CGs)患有痴呆症(plwd)。为应对COVID-19大流行,ACTS2推出了Facebook Live Workshop系列,向黑人社区提供痴呆症护理和自我护理信息。我们采用混合方法,对2020年5月至2024年12月期间举办的28个系列研讨会的观众覆盖率、参与度和满意度进行了评估。该系列有1,427名预先注册的个人和1,124名研讨会参与者。与会者参与的主题揭示了信息请求、个人经历分享和对演讲者贡献的感激。大约106名参与者(7.4%)完成了研讨会后的调查,表明总体满意度很高。调查数据的主题包括对演讲者的赞赏,对社区资源的满意度,以及以黑人社区需求为中心。调查结果表明,讲习班有效地吸引了黑人社区,促进了参与者的沟通。今后的研究将着重于提高评价调查的完成度。
Evaluation of the African American Alzheimer's Caregiver Training and Support Project 2 (ACTS2) Facebook Live Workshop Series: A Mixed Methods Analysis.
The African American Alzheimer's Caregiver Training and Support Project 2 (ACTS2) is a faith-integrated, skills-building, and support program primarily focusing on Black caregivers (CGs) of persons living with dementia (PLWDs) throughout Florida. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ACTS2 launched a Facebook Live Workshop Series, offering dementia caregiving and self-care information to Black communities. Employing mixed methodologies, we evaluated viewer reach, engagement, and satisfaction for 28 workshops from the series, delivered from May 2020 to December 2024. The series reached 1,427 pre-registered individuals and 1,124 workshop attendees. Themes from attendee engagement revealed information requests, sharing personal experiences, and gratitude for presenters' contributions. Approximately 106 participants (7.4%) completed post-workshop surveys, indicating high overall satisfaction. Themes from survey data included appreciation for presenters, satisfaction with community resources, and centering Black community needs. Findings suggested the workshops effectively engaged Black communities and facilitated participant communication. Future research will address enhancing evaluation survey completion.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
