这项研究扩展了对计算机辅助电话系统的评估，使五名被诊断为阿尔茨海默病的患者能够独立打电话。患者被分成两组，并根据跨组的非并发多基线设计接受干预。所有患者从没有该技术的基线开始，然后继续使用该技术的干预。这项技术包括一台装有特定软件的上网本计算机、一个全球移动通信调制解调器系统(GSM)、一个微型开关以及可与相关照片通话的合作伙伴名单。所有患者都学会了使用该系统，并独立地打电话给各种伴侣，如家人、朋友和照顾者。在社会验证评估中，护理和健康专业人员被要求对患者使用该技术并在护理员的帮助下的表现进行评级，这通常为技术辅助的表现提供了更积极的分数。讨论了这些发现对阿尔茨海默病患者日常计划的积极意义。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study extended the assessment of a computer-aided telephone system to enable five patients with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease to make phone calls independently. The patients were divided into two groups and exposed to intervention according to a non-concurrent multiple baseline design across groups. All patients started with baseline in which the technology was not available, and continued with intervention in which the technology was used. The technology involved a net-book computer provided with specific software, a global system for mobile communication modem (GSM), a microswitch, and lists of partners to call with related photos. All the patients learned to use the system and made phone calls independently to a variety of partners, such as family members, friends, and caregivers. A social validation assessment, in which care and health professionals working with persons with dementia were asked to rate the patients' performance with the technology and with the help of a caregiver, provided generally more positive scores For the technology-assisted performance. The positive implications of the findings for daily programs of patients with Alzheimer's disease are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
