CAREGIVER TRAINING VIDEOS FOR HIV ASSOCIATED DEMENTIA

这项第二阶段的提案涉及创建培训材料，使患有艾滋病毒相关痴呆症(HAD)和相关认知缺陷的个人的照顾者能够更有效地应对这一人群中与痴呆症相关的行为和认知问题。将开发一系列六个视频，每个视频都解决与HAD相关的特定行为问题：1)管理攻击性行为，2)寻求毒品/成瘾行为，3)抑郁，4)重复提问，5)用药依从性，6)关于HAD的概述。这些视频以及辅助材料(视频清单和培训说明)将作为Alpha和Beta版本进行测试，以便在产品最终定稿之前进行修订/改进。第一阶段原型视频的测试结果在所学材料和研究参与者的满意度得分方面具有非常重要的意义。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、护士助手、社会工作者、直接护理人员)以及社区中的家庭护理人员。这些护理者缺乏现有的培训材料，再加上这些人口预计会增加，因此这是一个极其重要和及时的项目。拟议的商业应用对于患有HAD或艾滋病毒相关缺陷的人的照顾者来说，解决这种情况的行为表现的可用资源匮乏。本项目中描述的培训视频和配套材料是共享住宅环境中的专业照顾者和在家中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.
