Although the existence of many clinical guidelines aiming the management of these symptoms, caregiving staff mention a lack of knowledge and skills in the management of BPSDs. Staff training in this domain therefore appears necessary. Several BPSD staff training interventions exist internationally. However, there is a strong need for the creation of training interventions adapted to the Québec context and for high-quality research to strengthen existing evidence, ensure feasibility and reproducibility. Objectives: This study aims to: 1) develop an intradisciplinary training on BPSD management, 2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this training and 3) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of selected outcome measures in prevision of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods: A sequential exploratory mixed methods pilot study in two successive phases was conducted in two settings in Quebec, Canada. The first setting was a typical long-term care (LTC) unit and the second, a hospital unit regrouping older people in loss of autonomy with alternate levels of care. Phase 1, the development of the training, was composed of three steps, including focus groups (FG) with staff from 1) both study settings and 2) a panel of provincial experts to identify the training content and modalities to prioritize, as well as 3) a series of cognitive interviews of the preliminary version of the training to allow its improvement. Phase 2 was the administration of the training and the evaluation of its feasibility and acceptability. Following the administration of the training, FGs were conducted with staff from both units having received the training, to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the training, and the chosen methodology and measures. Valid and reliable questionnaires were also administered before and after the training to preliminarily evaluate its effects on staff distress and stress. Results and conclusion: This study resulted in the creation of a staff training in the form of five interactive online capsules, administered virtually. Overall, the training and the selected questionnaires were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively as feasible and acceptable. Preliminary results suggest that staff distress after the training could decrease, but this requires further investigation. The next step will be to evaluate the efficacy of this training intervention formally in a RCT, on both staff and resident outcomes, as well as the sustainability of this type of intervention.","abstract_html":"Background: Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are highly prevalent symptoms in institutionalized residents with neurocognitive disorders.

Malgré les multiples lignes directrices sur leur gestion optimale, le personnel soignant mentionne un manque de connaissances et de compétences dans la gestion des SCPD. La formation à ce sujet apparaît donc nécessaire. Malgré les multiples formations existantes sur la gestion des SCPD, la création de formation adaptée au contexte québécois et de la recherche de haute qualité apparaissent nécessaires pour renforcer les preuves existantes et assurer la faisabilité et la reproductibilité de celles-ci. Objectifs : Ce projet vise à : 1) développer une formation intradisciplinaire sur la gestion optimale des SCPD, 2) évaluer la faisabilité et l’acceptabilité de cette formation, et 3) évaluer la faisabilité et l’acceptabilité des indicateurs sélectionnés en prévision d’un essai contrôlé randomisé (ECR). Méthodes : Une étude pilote à devis mixte séquentiel exploratoire en deux phases a été réalisée au Québec, Canada, dans une unité de soins de longue durée et une unité hospitalière regroupant une clientèle de niveaux de soins alternatifs. La Phase 1, soit le développement de la formation, était composée de trois étapes. Ces étapes étaient des groupes de discussion focalisée (GDF) auprès : 1) du personnel soignant des deux milieux à l’étude et 2) d’un panel d’experts, afin d’identifier le contenu à privilégier dans la formation et ses modalités, ainsi que 3) une série d’entrevues cognitives de la formation afin de permettre sa bonification. La Phase 2 portait sur l’administration de la formation et l’évaluation de sa faisabilité et de son acceptabilité. À la suite de l’administration de la formation, des GDF ont eu lieu auprès du personnel soignant l’ayant reçue afin d’évaluer la faisabilité et l’acceptabilité de la formation, de la méthodologie et des mesures. Des questionnaires valides et fidèles ont été administrés avant et après la formation afin d’évaluer préliminairement les effets de celle-ci sur la détresse et le stress du personnel soignant. Résultats et conclusion : L’étude a résulté en la création d’une formation intradisciplinaire sous forme de cinq capsules vidéo interactives, qui ont été administrées virtuellement. Dans l’ensemble, la formation et les questionnaires ont été évalués qualitativement et quantitativement comme faisables et acceptables. Les résultats préliminaires suggèrent que la détresse du personnel soignant pourrait diminuer après la formation.
