Quality of life is treated as multidimensional, complicating comparisons across interventions. This work examines outcome measures across 37 nonpharmacological interventions identified through the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center for the Administration for Community Living (ACL), mapping measures into four QOL sectors: behavioral competence, perceived QOL, objective environment, and psychosocial wellbeing.

These interventions use various outcome measures to evaluate and assess improvement in the QOL of PLWD and their care partners.  \nQuality of life has been operationalized as a multidimensional concept, which makes comparing outcome measures across interventions challenging. In this presentation, we provide an in-depth examination of the outcome measures used in 37 nonpharmacological interventions in a resource identified by the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center at the request of the Administration for Community Living (ACL), which includes both evidence-based and evidence-informed interventions based on the ACL requirements. We organized the outcome measures from these 37 interventions into four main sectors identified by Lawton’s multidimensional concept of QOL—behavioral competence (e.g. activities of daily living and cognitive functioning), perceived QOL (e.g. relationships and health), objective environment (e.g. neighborhood characteristics and social networks), and psychosocial wellbeing (e.g. emotions and mental health) .  \nWe also highlight who the outcome measures were about as well","cbCaivmlnbLiwcct","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivmlnbLiwcct","pdf",478938,"English","# Overview\n# QOL Measurement in Nonpharmacological Dementia Interventions\n## Multidimensional QOL Framework\n## Outcome Measures Across 37 Interventions\n# Target Population of Outcome Measures\n# Policy and Practice Implications","[{\"question\":\"How are quality of life outcomes measured in nonpharmacological dementia interventions?\",\"answer\":\"They assess QOL for PLWD and their family care partners using a variety of outcome measures, including behavioral, perceived, environmental, and psychosocial domains.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is comparing outcome measures across interventions challenging?\",\"answer\":\"Because QOL is operationalized as a multidimensional concept, and interventions may use different measures that correspond to different QOL sectors.\"},{\"question\":\"How were outcome measures organized in the analysis of 37 interventions?\",\"answer\":\"They were grouped into four main sectors based on Lawton’s multidimensional concept of QOL: behavioral competence, perceived QOL, objective environment, and psychosocial wellbeing.\"}]","POLICY AND PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS OF OUTCOME MEASURES OF NONPHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS - Key Findings and Framework | PDF",1790646038]
