Description
Sophia Geisser and co-authors build a two-part aid for hospice dementia care in a 2023 paper. Family partners of people dying with dementia carry heavy stress. Hospice nurses and social workers could coach them, but few get dementia-specific training for the end of life.
The program, EDITH-HC, pairs training videos for clinicians with a worksheet used in family meetings. The worksheet helps surface a partner's stressors and concerns so they can be addressed. Development drew on a literature review, interviews with forty family partners and eighteen clinicians, and two rounds of stakeholder input. A single-arm pilot checked feasibility and acceptance. A randomized pilot comes next, the authors say.
