“…Adherence for the first module (communication and eating) was rated .95; for the second and third modules, it was rated 1.00. These findings, coupled with the use and implementation of a written manual and train-the-trainer modules before study implementation, demonstrate strong adherence to the intervention protocol (Bellg et al, 2004;Murphy & Gutman, 2012).…”

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility and efficacy of the Family Caregiver Training Program for assisting with the basic activities of daily living of people with dementia. METHOD. A one-group pretest-posttest research design with a 3-mo follow-up was used to examine the efficacy of a manualized education program for caregivers. The 6-hr training was delivered to 72 family caregivers over 3 consecutive weeks (2 hr/wk) by trained clinicians. RESULTS. Caregivers showed a significant gain in knowledge of how to effectively assist with communication and nutrition, t(52) = 7.05, p < .000; transfers and toileting, t(45) = 3.10, p < .003; and bathing and dressing, t(44) = 2.71, p < .01, of their care recipients. CONCLUSION. Our findings demonstrate that this manualized intervention protocol is a promising method of equipping family members with the skills needed to face their everyday challenges in caring for people with dementia.

“…Intervention fidelity is described as the extent to which key elements of an intervention were implemented as intended (Dane and Schneider, 1998;Horner et al, 2006;Murphy and Gutman, 2012). Thus, adherence to the intervention design is a key to preserving the internal validity (Horner et al, 2006).…”

“…Murphy and Gutman () cited the important components of implementation fidelity for our profession: the design of the study, the training of practitioners and delivery of the intervention, and most importantly the individual's response and demonstration of ability to continue the skills acquired from the intervention. This study fulfils the aforementioned criteria.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine if occupation-based activities improve diabetes self-management and reduce depressive symptoms in an elderly Mexican-American woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There have been no known studies showing occupational therapy's role in self-care management of T2DM in people with depressive symptoms. The individual in this single-subject research was evaluated using glycosylated haemoglobin blood tests, four self-reported standardized questionnaires, participant reflective logs and clinical observations following an 8-week intervention. The participant improved on all measures, which were sustained 1 month after treatment ended. Clinical implications highlight a new role for occupational therapists providing early intervention in people with diabetes and depression for secondary prevention of complications of uncontrolled diabetes. Research suggestions include multiple single-subject studies showing occupational therapy contributions.
