Testing the Feasibility and Impact of the Res-Care-CI Elizabeth Galik, MSN, CRNP University of Maryland School of Nursing AMDA 30th Annual Symposium March 29 – April 1, 2007 Hollywood, Florida
2
Faculty Disclosures: Ms. Galik has disclosed that she has no relevant financial relationship(s).
3
What is Restorative Care? Focuses on the restoration and/or maintenance of physical function Helps older adults to compensate for functional impairments so that the highest level of function is obtained ( Resnick, 2004)
4
Res-Care-CI Intervention 2 tiered self-efficacy based intervention Focuses on motivating NAs and teaching them the skills to motivate nursing home residents with moderate-severe cognitive impairment to engage in restorative care activities Modification of the basic Res-Care Model (Grant No. R01 HS/MH 13372-01)
5
Primary Aim: Nursing Assistants To test the feasibility and impact of the Res-Care-CI Intervention on nursing assistants’ (NAs) beliefs, knowledge and performance of restorative care, their job satisfaction and their job retention.
6
NA Related Hypotheses NAs will experience an increase in: 1) Self-efficacy for restorative care 2) Outcome expectations for restorative care 3) Restorative care knowledge 4) Performance of restorative care activities at 2 and 4 months following exposure to the Res-Care-CI. 5) Job Satisfaction
7
Secondary Aim: Residents To test the feasibility and impact of the Res-Care CI Intervention on the physical function, physical activity, mood, and behavior of nursing home residents with moderate-severe cognitive impairment.
8
Resident Related Hypotheses Residents with moderate to severe cognitive impairment will maintain or improve: 1) functional performance (ADLs) 2) time in physical activity at 2 and 4 months after implementing the Res-Care-CI.
9
Resident Related Hypotheses (continued) Residents with moderate to severe cognitive impairment will demonstrate a decrease in 1) symptoms of depression 2) Behavioral disturbance at 2 and 4 months after implementing the Res-Care-CI.
10
Design of the Res-Care-CI Pilot Study Single group time series design, with measurements at 2 month intervals over a period of 6 months Implementation of Res-Care-CI Intervention immediately following the completion of the 2 nd baseline measure
11

15
Procedure: The Res-Care-CI Intervention Oversight by a Restorative Care Nurse to serve as “Champion”, teacher and coach for NAs (20 hours/week) 1) 4 week restorative care in-service program 2) Ongoing encouragement & support of NAs through standardized protocol 3) Development and monthly evaluation of resident restorative goals and care plan 4) Weekly monitoring of restorative care documentation
16
Nursing Assistant Training Classes “Moving Beyond Behavior” Open to all staff of the facility, but focused on needs of the NAs Four 30 minute classes over 4 weeks 1:1 make-up classes for NAs who do not attend the original classes
17
Nursing Assistant Training Classes “Moving Beyond Behavior” 1. Philosophy of restorative care 2. Motivation of the cognitively impaired to engage in functional activities 3. Specific restorative care interventions for the cognitively impaired 4. Coordination and documentation of restorative care
18

Treatment Fidelity Delivery: NAs completion of all 4 restorative care in-service trainings Receipt: Paper and pencil test on knowledge of restorative care, goal development and log completion Enactment: Weekly monitoring of restorative care logs
35
Treatment Fidelity Results Delivery: 100% of NA participants attended all 4 classes or participated in one on one class instruction with RCN Receipt: Statistically significant improvement in NA knowledge of restorative care; 100% of recruited NAs participated in resident goal development Enactment:
36
Strengths & Limitations Important first step in implementing interventions to improve resident quality of life, and change knowledge and beliefs about how care is provided to cognitively impaired nursing home residents Treatment fidelity data was collected Small sample size Inclusion of only a single facility Lack of a control group
37
Areas for Future Research Randomized controlled trial to test a more comprehensive Res-Care-CI Intervention focused on changing the behavior of care providers and cognitively impaired nursing home residents so that functional performance and physical activity is optimized
