Change in mental wellbeing of patients with dementia
The World Health Organisation- Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is a short self-reported measure of current mental wellbeing.The WHO-5 consists of five statements, which respondents rate according to the scale below (in relation to the past two weeks): All of the time = 5; Most of the time = 4; More than half of the time = 3; Less than half of the time = 2 Some of the time = 1; At no time = 0. The total raw score, ranging from 0 to 25, is multiplied by 4 to give the final score, with 0 representing the worst imaginable well-being and 100 representing the best imaginable well-being.
Time frame: baseline, 12 and 14 weeks later
Change in cognitive status of patients with dementia
The cognitive status has been evaluated by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test. MOCA is an assessment tool used globally to detect early onset of dementia among people of old age. The tool is a one-page 30-point test that the physician can administer to check the memory, language, recall, and other markers of cognitive acuity of a patient. Normal cognition: 26-30 points; Mild Cognitive Impairment: 18-25 points; Moderate Cognitive Impairment: 10-17 points; Severe Cognitive Impairment: under 10 points.
Time frame: baseline, 12 and 14 weeks later
Change in stress of health care providers
The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) is a self-assessment questionnaire that measures parameters associated with Burnout. All items are expressed as statements with five frequency-based response categories (1 = never, 2 = rarely, 3 = sometimes, 4 = often, 5 = always). The total burnout score is calculated as a mean of all 23 items, and a high score is indicative of high levels of burnout.
Time frame: baseline, 12 and 14 weeks later
