Abstrakt: Objective: The objective of this study was to examine whether implementation of a stepwise multicomponent intervention (STA OP!) for challenging behavior and pain affects quality of life (QoL) of nursing home residents with moderate to severe dementia after 3 and 6 months.
Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 12 nursing homes. Both control (n = 140) and intervention group (=148) received training, the intervention group was also treated using the STA OP!
Intervention: At baseline, 3 and 6 months QoL was assessed using the 6 QUALIDEM domains applicable to moderate and severe dementia. Linear mixed models were used to compare changes in QoL domains between the 2 groups over time.
Results: After both 3 and 6 months, there was no change, and no difference in change, between the 2 groups in the domains Care relationship, Positive affect, Negative affect, and Social relations. Between 0 and 3 months, a positive effect was seen in the domain Restless tense behavior with a regression coefficient of β: 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.36-1.54). Between 3 and 6 months, a negative effect was seen on the domain Restless tense behavior β: -0.98 (95% CI, -1.60 to -0.36) and a positive effect in the domain Social isolation, β: 0.64 (95% CI, 0.12-1.17).
Conclusions: The stepwise intervention STA OP! affects the QUALIDEM domains in different ways: there was a lowering of Restless tense behavior in the short term, which reverted back to the initial level in the longer term, and a lowering of Social isolation in the longer term.
