Implementing reablement for community dwelling people with dementia: A formative evaluation using single-case experimental design.
Background: Reablement is recommended to maximise functioning in people with dementia, yet in Australia, is not routinely available. This study aimed to provide insight into the implementation and program outcomes of reablement in real-world practice for a person living with dementia. Methods: Reabl...

This study aimed to provide insight into the implementation and program outcomes of reablement in real-world practice for a person living with dementia. Methods: Reablement was implemented for a client with dementia. In parallel, a formative mixed-methods pilot evaluation was performed, using single-case experimental A-B-A design (n = 1), supplemented by routinely collected pre-post program clinical measures. Implementation was evaluated qualitatively via clinical notes for fidelity, feasibility and client engagement. Results: Single-case experimental design outcomes indicated the program positively impacted the participant's physical functioning. Additionally, most routinely collected pre-post clinical measures demonstrated improvement. Intervention fidelity varied, with differences in length and client engagement. Conclusion: Implementation of evidence-informed reablement has been shown to be feasible in real-world practice for a community-dwelling person living with dementia. Larger implementation trials are needed to build on preliminary outcomes to ultimately improve access to these important programs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
