Managing Agitation and Raising Quality of Life (MARQUE): Feasibility Trial of an Intervention to Improve the Management of Agitation in Severe Dementia
Led by Dr. Liz Sampson
What is Stream 6?
This stream brings together two interventions developed by the project team:
1) A manual based interactive face to face training
intervention for care homes to improve end of life care.
2) A
care-coordination-based intervention from the national Marie Curie End of Life
Care Programme (CoMPASS:ion) which takes a whole systems approach to improving
care.
We will combine these interventions, refining them using data from earlier workstreams of the MARQUE programme, and then test the intervention's acceptability and practicality in care homes. We plan to randomise homes to the intervention and one to control. We will identify the most relevant outcome measures, for example focussing on the quality of care and death rather than just place of death. This will inform a full trial-a future definitive study.
How's it going?
Recruitment for this stream has begun and interventions will start later this year.
