“…The intervention led to a significant increase in social competence of participating professional caregivers in the area of “interacting with colleagues.” These results are comparable to previous studies on social-skills training for caregivers (Eggensberger et al, 2013; Franzmann et al, 2016; Haberstroh et al, 2009; Haberstroh et al, 2011; Krause et al, 2011; Neumeyer, 2012; Robison et al, 2007). Furthermore, participation in trainings and individual counseling was able to significantly reduce the burden on family caregivers.…”

“…We used the evidence-based TANDEM training concept that has proved to be successful in improving the social skills of family and professional caregivers (Franzmann et al, 2016; Haberstroh et al, 2009; Haberstroh et al, 2011; Krause et al, 2011; Neumeyer, 2012). TANDEM is based on the information transmission model of communication of Ruettinger and Sauer (2000), which considers different processes and challenges involved in the sender-receiver interaction.…”

“…With regard to the social competencies of caregivers, educational skill-building interventions in the form of social skills training may enhance communication with people with dementia (Eggensberger et al, 2013; Franzmann, Haberstroh, & Pantel, 2016; Haberstroh et al, 2009; Haberstroh et al, 2011; Krause et al, 2011; Neumeyer, 2012; Robison et al, 2007). Moreover, social-skills training may also show an improvement in quality of life for people with dementia (Franzmann, Haberstroh, & Pantel, 2016; Haberstroh et al, 2009; Haberstroh et al, 2011; Krause et al, 2011; Neumeyer, 2012).…”

Abstract. The MultiTANDEM system trains management staff at outpatient nursing facilities to be TANDEM trainers (i.e., multiplicators for social-skills training) of professional and family caregivers for people with dementia. We used a pre-post-1-post-2 follow-up design to evaluate intervention and implementation success. Results showed a significant increase in the communication skills of caregivers and a significant reduction in family caregiver burden. Analyses of the implementation showed high acceptability among multiplicators and a high penetration of TANDEM trainings among their fellow staff members. An evaluation of the sustainability yielded heterogeneous results. Evaluation of impeding factors showed a reluctance among family caregivers to participate. Further studies with larger sample sizes and including all implementation outcomes are recommended.

“…In this way, training on communication and education strategies for caregivers of dementia has become a top priority for the implementation of care work. Foreign countries currently adopt the MESSAGE plan [ 16 ], VIPS communication skill training [ 17 ], TANDEM communication plan [ 18 ], and other dementia care training programs to provide caregivers with structured and systematic communication skill training to improve their communication skills and quality of care. In addition, delirium can lead to the occurrence or aggravation of cognitive impairment in the elderly, resulting in damage to physical function and even death [ 19 ].…”

Background. This study aimed to conduct a literature search to determine research hotspots in the field of gerontological care education in China and abroad. A knowledge of the focus of research conducted abroad may assist Chinese educators in determining the shape of gerontological care education in the future. Methods. The “Web of Science Core Collection” and “CNKI” databases were searched for literature on gerontological care education published from 2010 to 2020. CiteSpace software was used to display the knowledge map of co-occurrence of keywords, and an evolution trend map of research hotspots in recent 10 years was constructed. Results. From 2010 to 2020, the focus of foreign gerontological nursing education research was on the training of gerontological nursing personnel; the development of elderly care services; and education and training in dealing with patients with senile delirium and dementia. The focus of gerontological nursing education research in China was primary care education, training of senior elderly nursing personnel, talent training mode reform, training of nursing staff, and career development paths for geriatric nursing staff. Conclusions. Foreign geriatric nursing education research focuses on cultivating talents, mental health services for the elderly, innovating the mode of pension, and the care of patients with disorders such as dementia and delirium, while in China, the emphasis remains on gerontological nursing personnel training. Attention to research developments in other countries may assist Chinese educators to promote the development of geriatric nursing education in our country.

“…A group of 100 community-dwelling persons with dementia and 80 informal caregivers from southern Hesse and northern Baden, Germany, participated in a psychosocial intervention study (Qualification Measures to Improve the Quality of Life of Dementia Patients by Supporting the Communication and Cooperation in Ambulant Care/QUADEM) between October 2008 and January 2010. The study design and results were reported elsewhere (Haberstroh, Ehret, Kruse, Schröder, & Pantel, 2008;German Federal Ministry of Health, 2011;Krause et al, 2011).…”

Apathy in Dementia Care

Abstract. Apathy is a diminished goal-directed behavior stemming from a lack of motivation. It is one of the most common symptoms in dementia. While the Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES) has proved to be a psychometrically robust measure for assessing apathy, the German version (AESD) requires further validation. Associations of apathy with important variables in dementia care, such as cognitive impairment or caregiver burden, were repeatedly found, though contradictory findings have also been reported. The present study assessed apathy in 100 community-dwelling persons with dementia. Their informal and formal caregivers used the German informant version of the Apathy Evaluation Scale (AESD-I) to investigate the severity of dementia and cognitive deficits as measured with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), respectively. A reliability analysis was performed to estimate the internal consistency of the AESD-I, and the data were tested for potential correlations with results from a shortened version of the AESD-I (AESD16-I). Cronbach’s α was .880 for the AESD-I and .904 for the AESD16-I. The prevalence of apathy was 77%, its severity was on average moderate to high. Significant (p < .05) negative correlations were shown between the AESD16-I, the Barthel Index (BI), and the Quality of Life-Alzheimer’s Disease (QOL-AD). Correlations between the AESD16-I, GDS, and Zarit Burden Interview were positive. After Bonferroni correction, the only correlations that remained significant were between the AESD16-I and BI and QOL-AD. The present study underlines the favorable psychometric properties of the AESD-I and confirms the high prevalence of apathy with considerable severity in the sample of community-dwelling persons with dementia. In addition, it contributes to the diversity of evidence on clinical correlates of apathy which require further clarification.
