Patient-centred volunteer program for people with dementia: a stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial of the MyCare Ageing program

MyCare Ageing项目通过医院和过渡之家训练有素的志愿者，为住院的痴呆症和/或谵妄患者提供量身定制的情感和实际支持。该项目将提供以下关键信息：“我的老年保健”是否能减少未来的住院治疗并防止患者预后不良；影响该计划在医院和社区如何实施的因素；以及该计划是否具有成本效益。

The MyCare Ageing program provides hospitalised patients with dementia and/or delirium with tailored emotional and practical support via trained volunteers in hospital and in the transition home. This project will provide critical information on whether MyCare Ageing works to reduce future hospitalisations and prevent poor patient outcomes, the factors that impact on how the program is delivered in hospital and in the community, and whether the program is cost-effective.
