The National Dementia Workforce Study

摘要：总体 全国痴呆症劳动力研究(NDWS)将由一个国家临床护理专家团队发起 对痴呆症患者的研究、调查研究和卫生人力研究。NDWS数据的目标是 基础设施是允许研究人员和政策制定者提出和回答科学问题，以帮助建设 不断增长的人口所需的临床医生和其他专业护理人员队伍 美国痴呆症患者的生活。NDWS的核心将是四项调查，反映了 美国专业痴呆症护理人员：社区临床医生、疗养院工作人员、家庭护理人员 工作人员，和辅助生活的工作人员。除了这些调查外，NDWS团队还将制定各种 可与调查相联系的其他数据来源，以最大限度地发挥 调查。NDWS团队包括该国领先的痴呆症护理、劳动力和调查研究人员 协查人员和顾问，项目的活动将通过五个核心进行：1) 行政(领导：多诺万·莫斯特，医学博士，硕士，联合领导：Joanne Spetz，博士)；2)筛查和调查 仪器开发(共同领导：Joanne Spetz博士和James Wagner博士)；3)管理数据 转移、掩蔽、访问和道德(领导：Steven Marcus，博士)；4)数据收集、链接、清理、 和分享(领导：James Wagner，博士)；以及5)研究研究(领导：Laura Wagner，博士，RN)。这个 总体目标是：1)建立一个具有全国代表性的四人家庭职业性痴呆症劳动力队伍 覆盖美国关键护理提供环境的调查；2)通过全国痴呆症劳动力 研究，围绕痴呆症劳动力调查建立数据基础设施，使研究人员能够 对专业的痴呆症护理人员和相关的PLWD结果产生重要的见解； 3)发展和扩大专注于专业痴呆护理的研究人员社区 劳动力总数和使用国家痴呆症劳动力研究数据基础设施的劳动力。

ABSTRACT: Overall The National Dementia Workforce Study (NDWS) will be launched by a national team of experts in clinical care of persons living with dementia, survey research, and health workforce research. The goal of the NDWS data infrastructure is to allow researchers and policymakers to ask and answer scientific questions to help build the workforce of clinicians and other professional care providers required by the growing population of persons living with dementia in the U.S. The core of NDWS will be four surveys that reflect key elements of the professional dementia care workforce in the U.S.: Community Clinicians, Nursing Home Staff, Home Care Staff, and Assisted Living Staff. In addition to these surveys, the NDWS team will develop a variety of additional data sources that can be linked with the surveys in order to maximize the scientific potential of the surveys. The NDWS team includes the country’s leading dementia care, workforce, and survey researchers as Co-Investigators and Consultants, and the project’s activities will be conducted through five cores: 1) Administrative (Lead: Donovan Maust, MD, MS, and Co-Lead: Joanne Spetz, PhD); 2) Screening and Survey Instrument Development (Co-Leads: Joanne Spetz, PhD, and James Wagner, PhD); 3) Administrative Data Transfer, Masking, Access, and Ethics (Lead: Steven Marcus, PhD); 4) Data Collection, Linkages, Cleaning, and Sharing (Lead: James Wagner, PhD); and 5) Research Studies (Lead: Laura Wagner, PhD, RN). The overall aims are to: 1) Launch a family of four nationally representative professional dementia workforce surveys covering the key care delivery settings in the U.S.; 2) Through the National Dementia Workforce Study, build a data infrastructure surrounding the dementia workforce surveys that allows researchers to generate critical insights into the professional dementia care workforce and associated outcomes for PLWD; and 3) Develop and expand the community of researchers focused on the professional dementia care workforce overall and that use the National Dementia Workforce Study data infrastructure.
