DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For the families of nursing homes residents, remaining constructively involved in the care of the resident is a challenge. Family access to clinical and administrative information is essential to effectively participate with care, yet it is usually not available, or is inadequate. Channels of communication between families and facility caregivers are poorly defined. The proposed Phase Il study will complete a curriculum of clinical, administrative, and legal education for families of nursing home residents in an interactive video format accessible through the Web. It will include a "family orientation" for newly admitted residents, and in addition, a facility-specific "Family Communication Room" will enable families and staff to communicate directly on an ongoing basis. A 12-month randomized trial with four facilities will assess family satisfaction, involvement and complaints as well as resident quality of care and quality of life. The Phase I study successfully completed all stated objectives. Approximately 45-minutes of interactive-video family education on dementia was created in conjunction with family advisors. Eighteen family members who completed the program showed enhanced knowledge on pre-post tests (t = 5.9, p<0.0001) and reported high levels of satisfaction. The Phase I family advisors were essential to the development of this Phase II proposal. Building on the successful commercialization of a previous product for nursing home staff education, there is a well-defined commercialization plan. Discussions have begun to market this product with a major insurance underwriter servicing the Iong-term care industry.

描述（由申请人提供）：对于疗养院居民的家庭来说，建设性地参与居民的护理是一项挑战。家庭获取临床和管理信息对于有效参与护理至关重要，但通常无法获得或不充分。家庭和设施护理人员之间的沟通渠道不明确。 拟议的第二阶段研究将以可通过网络访问的交互式视频格式完成针对疗养院居民家庭的临床、行政和法律教育课程。它将包括为新入住的居民提供“家庭介绍”，此外，设施特定的“家庭沟通室”将使家庭和工作人员能够持续直接沟通。一项在四家机构进行的为期 12 个月的随机试验将评估家庭满意度、参与度和投诉以及居民护理质量和生活质量。 第一阶段研究成功完成了所有既定目标。与家庭顾问共同制作了大约 45 分钟的关于痴呆症的互动视频家庭教育。完成该计划的 18 名家庭成员表现出对事前测试的了解有所增强（t = 5.9，p<0.0001），并报告了高水平的满意度。第一阶段的家庭顾问对于第二阶段提案的制定至关重要。 在之前用于疗养院员工教育的产品成功商业化的基础上，我们制定了明确的商业化计划。已经开始与一家为长期护理行业提供服务的主要保险承保商讨论销售该产品。
