DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Communication is impaired early in dementia and with the burgeoning number of individuals with dementia, caregivers need specialized knowledge to effectively communicate with and manage patients. Translating research related to effectively communicating with those with dementia is critical to improving communication, hence quality of life, in this vulnerable population. However, it presents a unique challenge to investigators because many caregivers have at best only a high school education and many are foreign born with English as their second language. DCDI's aim is to integrate the latest research into a program using a Web DVD delivery format that includes increased interactivity and dynamic updates, which are easily understood and adaptable by the bedside caregiver. TRANSLATION. Many care manuals consist of a restatement of regulatory rules related to safety and sanitation, do not adequately address care issues such as communication and rarely, if ever, are based upon the most recent research. In fact, it typically takes 20 years for research to change bedside care. DCDI's proposed program is innovative because it rapidly and continually translates the most recent scientific research using familiar technology (In 2005 DVD players have become ubiquitous in care facilities and homes.) and employing a reading level that can be easily understood by caregivers. In Phase I DCDI developed a prototype product and methods necessary to translate the latest research findings and the knowledge of the caregiver. In Phase II, DCDI will use a team of dementia and other experts to expand, evaluate and refine the product in a random sample of care facilities. The final product should improve the quality of care of those with dementia by providing the caregiver with the knowledge necessary to communicate with and care for a person with dementia. Web DVD format will increase usage amongst the caregiver population because it provides convenient, dynamic and flexible access to the program materials, thus contributing to improving the overall quality of care for dementia patients. Additionally, a Spanish language version for Hispanic caregivers is planned. COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL. A Market Feasibility Study identifies 6,329,754 total institutional and/or individual buyers consisting of caregivers, nurses, researchers, schools, libraries and the lay public. This study projects a first year market penetration rate of 1.5% of that total market.

描述（由申请人提供）：痴呆症早期的沟通受损，随着痴呆症患者人数的不断增加，护理人员需要专业知识来有效地与患者沟通和管理患者。翻译与痴呆症患者有效沟通相关的研究对于改善这一弱势群体的沟通，从而提高生活质量至关重要。然而，这对研究人员提出了一个独特的挑战，因为许多照顾者充其量只有高中教育，许多人是外国出生的英语作为他们的第二语言。DCDI的目标是将最新的研究整合到一个使用Web DVD交付格式的程序中，该格式包括增加的交互性和动态更新，这些都很容易被床边护理人员理解和适应。翻译.许多护理手册重述了与安全和卫生有关的监管规则，没有充分解决护理问题，如沟通，很少，如果有的话，是基于最新的研究。事实上，研究改变床边护理通常需要20年。DCDI提出的计划是创新的，因为它使用熟悉的技术快速和持续地翻译最新的科学研究（2005年，DVD播放器在护理机构和家庭中无处不在）。并且采用护理者可以容易理解的阅读水平。在第一阶段，DCDI开发了一个原型产品和必要的方法来翻译最新的研究结果和护理人员的知识。在第二阶段，DCDI将使用一个由痴呆症和其他专家组成的团队，在护理机构的随机样本中扩展，评估和改进产品。最终产品应通过为护理人员提供与痴呆症患者沟通和护理所需的知识来提高痴呆症患者的护理质量。网络DVD格式将增加护理人员的使用，因为它提供了方便，动态和灵活的访问程序材料，从而有助于提高痴呆症患者的整体护理质量。此外，还计划为西班牙裔护理人员提供西班牙语版本。商业潜力。市场可行性研究确定了6，329，754个机构和/或个人买家，包括护理人员，护士，研究人员，学校，图书馆和普通公众。这项研究预计第一年的市场渗透率为整个市场的1.5%。
