Iowa's Administration on Aging's Alzheimer's Disease Demonstration Grant to the States was a project to implement and evaluate a nurse care management model of service delivery for persons with dementia or care recipient and their family caregiver that was integrated with the case management system. The goal of the nursing service delivery model was to maintain persons with dementia safely in their homes, by connecting them with appropriate services and providing support to the care recipient and caregivers. Outcomes measures were evaluated over time. This article defines the role of dementia nurse care management and shares the results of the outcomes measurements. The evaluation showed that caregivers assisted by nurse care managements were more likely to show improvement in their stress levels, endurance potential, and well-being. This improvement was consistent over time.
爱荷华州老龄事务管理局向各州提供的阿尔茨海默病示范赠款项目,是一个用于实施和评估针对痴呆症患者或护理对象及其家庭护理人员的护士护理管理服务提供模式的项目,该模式与病例管理系统相结合。护理服务提供模式的目标是通过为痴呆症患者联系适当的服务,并为护理对象和护理人员提供支持,使他们安全地居家生活。随着时间的推移对结果指标进行了评估。本文定义了痴呆症护士护理管理的作用,并分享了结果测量的结果。评估表明,在护士护理管理协助下的护理人员在压力水平、耐力潜力和幸福感方面更有可能得到改善。这种改善随着时间的推移保持一致。
