Procedure

Observational Pain Management Protocol for nursing home elderly residents with dementia

12 weeks

The control groups will continue their usual pain management strategies for nursing home elderly residents with dementia

Participants must be > 65 years, of either gender. They must have been living in the long-term care home for > 6 months. Their general health must be stable (with no acute physiological or psychiatric illnesses, and no history of fractures or emergency hospital admissions within the past 3 months.) Participants must be officially diagnosed with some form of dementia. Their cognitive state will be assessed by the Cantonese-Mini Mental State Examination (C-MMSE). The participants must have at least one pain-related diagnosis such as osteoarthritis, low back pain, or rheumatoid arthritis. Each participant’s communication ability will be assessed by the communication score based on two items in the interRAI-Home Care (HC) Assessment (formerly called the Minimum Data Set-HC): (1) making self understood and (2) ability to understand others. These two items are rated on a 5-point scale: 0 = understood, 1 = usually understood, 2 = often understood, 3 = sometimes understood, 4 = rarely or never understood. A total communication score is summed from these two items and ranges from 0 to 8, in which 0 means no communication problems and 8 means very severe communication impairment. Participants must have a communication score > 5 to be eligible to be recruited into this study.

To avoid altered behaviour patterns caused by other acute diseases, the participants must not have been suffering from any acute physiological / psychiatric illnesses during the period of data collection. Residents who are experiencing distressing social circumstances that may affect their daily behavioural pattern will be excluded from this study.
