Pilot Testing Dementia-Enhanced Training and Tool for Home Hospice Clinicians
Study 3. Pilot Testing Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Dementia-Enhanced Training and Tool for Home Hospice Clinicians in a Clinical Setting.
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to pilot test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a clinically useful, inclusive dementia-enhanced training and tool for use by home hospice clinicians to improve care and support for Black and White patients with dementia and their family caregivers. The investigators expect family caregivers of clinicians in the intervention group will report less caregiver burden (primary outcome) than caregivers of clinicians in the control group. The investigators expect that, compared to clinicians in the control group (usual care), clinicians in the intervention group (receive the training and use the tool) will demonstrate more knowledge of dementia-related caregiving issues (secondary outcomes). In exploratory analyses, the investigators expect family caregivers will report greater self-efficacy and preparedness, and that patients of clinicians in the intervention group will experience fewer live discharges than family caregivers of patients of clinicians in the control group.
