Prevalence of Hearing, Vision and Cognitive Impairment and Impact in Older Adults in Home Care
BACKGROUND: Hearing, vision and cognitive impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized among older adults. Although these impairments affect quality of life, functional independence and psychological well-being, there are no published data on the prevalence and consequences of these impairments in relation to Australian home care populations. This protocol outlines a cross-sectional investigation into the prevalence of hearing, vision an…
Protocol for the Process Evaluation of the Sense‐Cog Sensory Support Intervention Field Trial to Improve Quality of Life for Older People Receiving Home Care in Australia
BACKGROUND: A field trial of a home-delivered hearing and vision support intervention will assess its impact on the quality of life and well-being of home care recipients with hearing and/or vision impairment and their care partners. AIMS: This paper outlines the protocol for a process evaluation of the field trial. The process evaluation aims to identify discrepancies between expected and actual outcomes, understand contextual influences, assess…
Protocol for a Field Trial of a Hearing and Vision Support Intervention for People Living in Long‐Term Care in Australia
INTRODUCTION: Hearing and vision impairments are prevalent among residents in long-term care settings. Hearing and vision impairments frequently go unsupported, affecting residents' quality of life and healthcare costs. This paper describes the protocol for a pre-post evaluation and process evaluation of a pragmatic sensory support intervention (SSI) that was developed with residents, informal caregivers and long-term care workers. METHODS AND AN…
Co‐Designing a Sensory Support Intervention for Older Adults With Hearing and Vision Impairment Living in Australian Home Care Settings
BACKGROUND: Home care services help older adults remain living independently in their own homes. Approximately 70% of home care recipients have hearing and/or vision impairments, and 20% likely have cognitive impairments. A home-based hearing and vision intervention (SENSE-Cog), incorporating impairment identification and correction, device and communication training, goal setting, referrals, provision of supplementary devices, and fostering soci…
What are the Correlates of Hearing Aid Use for People Living With Dementia
Objectives To identify correlates of hearing aid use in people with dementia and age-related hearing loss. Methods Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of predictor variables from 239 participants with dementia and hearing loss in the European SENSE-Cog Randomized Controlled Trial (Cyprus, England, France, Greece, and Ireland). Results In multivariate analysis, four variables were significantly associated with hearing aid use: …
Evaluation of a research awareness training programme to support research involvement of older people with dementia and their care partners
BACKGROUND: Best-practice guidelines recommend that appropriate support be provided to public contributors to facilitate their involvement in research. One form of support is research awareness training. Older people with dementia and care partners were involved in four Research User Groups (RUGs) in the UK, France, Cyprus and Greece. We delivered research awareness training (RAT) to the RUGs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptabili…
Associations Between Self-Reported Sensory Impairment and Risk of Cognitive Decline and Impairment in the Health and Retirement Study Cohort
Self-assessed sensory impairment is independently associated with cognitive decline and incident possible CIND and probable dementia. Further studies are needed to identify the mechanism underlying this association and to determine whether treatment of sensory impairment could ameliorate cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia among older adults
