CAREGIVER TRAINING VIDEOS FOR HIV ASSOCIATED DEMENTIA

这个第二阶段的提案涉及到培训材料的创建，这些材料将使艾滋病毒相关痴呆（HAD）和相关认知缺陷患者的护理人员能够更有效地应对这一人群中与痴呆相关的行为和认知问题。一系列的六个视频将被制作出来，每一个针对一个特定的与HAD相关的行为问题：1)管理攻击行为，2)寻求药物/成瘾行为，3)抑郁，4)重复询问，5)药物依从性，以及6)关于HAD的一般概述。视频以及辅助材料（视频清单和培训说明）将作为Alpha和Beta版本进行测试，以便在产品最终确定之前进行修订/改进。第一阶段原型视频的测试结果在学习材料和研究参与者的满意度得分方面具有高度显著性。该产品的目标受众是团体和社区环境中的专业护理人员（护士、护工、社工、直接护理人员）以及社区中的家庭护理人员。这些护理人员现有培训材料的缺乏，加上预计这一人口将增加，使这成为一个极其重要和及时的项目。对于患有HAD或hiv相关缺陷的人的护理人员来说，缺乏可用于解决这种情况的行为表现的资源。这个项目中描述的培训视频和随附材料是共享住宅环境中的专业护理人员和在家照顾某人的家庭成员迫切需要的。

This Phase II proposal involves the creation of training materials that will enable caregivers for individuals with HIV- associated dementia (HAD) and related cognitive deficits to more effectively cope with the behavioral and cognitive problems associated with dementia in this population. A series of six videos will be developed, each one addressing a specific behavioral problem associated with HAD: 1) managing aggressive behavior, 2) drug seeking/addictive behaviors, 3) depression, 4) repetitive questioning, 5) medication compliance, and 6) general overview about HAD. The videos, along with supporting materials (video checklist and training instructions), will be tested as Alpha and Beta versions to allow for revisions/ improvements to be made before the product is finalized. Results from the test of the Phase I prototype video were highly significant in terms of material learned and in satisfaction scores by study participants. The target audiences for this product are professional caregivers (nurses, nurses aides, social workers, direct caregivers) in group and community settings, and family caregivers in the community. The dearth of existing training materials for these caregivers, combined with projected increases in this population, make this a critically important and timely project. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION There is a dearth of resources available for caregivers of people with HAD or HIV-associated deficits which address the behavioral manifestations of this condition. The training videos and accompanying materials described in this project are desperately needed by both professional caregivers in shared residential settings and family members caring for someone at home.
