PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and examine the preliminary effectiveness of a mobile application-based meal assistant training program (APP) for use by direct care workers (CAs) assisting residents with dementia in long-term care facilities in South Korea.
METHODS
We adopted a mixed methods research design, which included a pre- and post-intervention study and focus group interviews for the feasibility assessment. Participants included 23 dyads of older adults with dementia and their CAs from a long-term care facility in South Korea. Upon completion of the APP intervention, focused group interviews were conducted with six CAs and five nurses.
RESULTS
The results of paired -tests showed that the effects of the APP intervention on the older adults with dementia and their CAs were not significant; however, the results of the focused group interviews support the potential usefulness of the APP for CAs.
CONCLUSION
The APP may be applicable to long-term care workers who need meal assistant skills education.
目的
本研究旨在评估基于移动应用的膳食辅助培训计划（APP）在为韩国长期护理机构中患有痴呆症的居民提供帮助的直接护理人员（CA）中的使用可行性，并检验其初步效果。
方法
我们采用了混合方法研究设计，包括干预前后研究和焦点小组访谈以评估可行性。参与者包括来自韩国一家长期护理机构的 23 对患有痴呆症的老年人及其 CA。APP 干预完成后，对六名 CA 和五名护士进行了焦点小组访谈。
结果
配对检验结果表明，APP 干预对痴呆症老年人及其 CA 的效果不显著；然而，焦点小组访谈的结果支持 APP 对 CA 的潜在有用性。
结论
APP 可能适用于需要膳食辅助技能教育的长期护理工作者。
