NRC: Improving Healthcare for Cognitively Impaired Elders and Their Caregivers
An multi-stage mixed-method design will be employed to obtain both qualitative and
quantitative data to address two study aims: (1) Evaluate and refine the delivery Reducing
Disabilities in Alzheimer's Disease (RD- AD) training to advanced practice nurses and (2)
Evaluate and refine the implementation of RD-AD by advanced practice nurses in their medical
settings.
quantitative data to address two study aims: (1) Evaluate and refine the delivery Reducing
Disabilities in Alzheimer's Disease (RD- AD) training to advanced practice nurses and (2)
Evaluate and refine the implementation of RD-AD by advanced practice nurses in their medical
settings.
Two waves of APNs (25 each wave/total 50) will receive RDAD training and be queried pre and
post- training using both qualitative and quantitative procedures to determine: (1) Is RDAD
training successfully received by advanced practice nurses? (2) Do they report it as relevant
to improving the care they deliver to persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
(ADRD)? (3) Does RDAD training of advanced practice nurses improve their level of knowledge
about ADRD, their skills in providing ADRD care, and their level of confidence in providing
this care?
A subset of advanced practice nurses (5 per wave, total of 10) will be recruited to implement
RDAD as part of their ongoing care of persons with ADRD.
