Abstract Technology can enhance support for families caring for persons with dementia but must be acceptable to be adopted. In the FamTechCare trial, caregivers used an app to videorecord care encounters that were reviewed by an expert panel who provided tailored feedback. The intervention reduced caregiver depression and improved caregiver competence. This mixed methods study reports caregiver satisfaction and utilization of the intervention and evaluation of the intervention by the expert panel. A convergent parallel mixed methods design was used to evaluate the satisfaction, usability, and feasibility of the intervention. Caregiver-person with dementia dyads were randomized to the FamTechCare video support or telephone attention control support groups. Caregivers completed a satisfaction survey at the completion of the 3-month trial. The number and duration of videos submitted and calls received by caregivers were used to evaluate utilization. Relationships between participant characteristics and satisfaction and utilization were evaluated. Feasibility and future directions for the intervention were assessed through interviews with the expert panel. The majority of caregivers in both groups reported benefits from participation. More FamTechCare caregivers found the interventionist support to be helpful (p=.001) and effective (p=.020) compared to attention control caregivers. FamTechCare caregivers of persons with more severe dementia were more likely to report that video recording intruded on their privacy (p=.050). Age, gender, education, dyad relationship, rural status, and type and severity of dementia were not associated with ratings of acceptability, ease of use, or intervention utilization. The expert panel rated FamTechCare as useful and identified adaptations to enhance feasibility.

Abstract Background In addition to patient evaluations, caregiver evaluations and experiences are important indicators of the quality of health services. The aim of this study was to examine determinants of caregiver satisfaction with and perceived benefit of child neurodevelopmental assessment in neuropaediatric clinics. Methods The study was conducted among caregivers of children and adolescents aged 4–18 years (N = 330) referred for neurodevelopmental assessment in two neuropaediatric clinics in the specialised health service in Northern Norway. The Generic Short Patient Experiences Questionnaire (GS-PEQ) for child psychiatric outpatient patients was distributed to caregivers immediately following the assessment, and two of its items were used as measurements of caregiver satisfaction with and perceived benefit of the assessment. Results Caregiver satisfaction with the assessment was correlated with a better general level of function in the child, higher socioeconomic status, Norwegian mother tongue, referral from a specialist, and the respondent being a woman. Higher perceived benefit of the assessment was correlated with higher socioeconomic status, Norwegian mother tongue, and younger age of the child. Regression analysis revealed that caregivers’ perception that the assessment was suited to their child’s situation and that there was good cooperation with other public services (e.g., primary care and social/educational services) seemed more fundamental to caregiver satisfaction with neuropaediatric clinics’ services than any background variable. Younger age of the child, in addition to caregivers’ perception that the assessment was suited to their child and receiving sufficient information about the child’s diagnosis/afflictions, were essential to the perceived benefit of the assessment. Conclusions Caregiver satisfaction with child neurodevelopmental assessment in neuropaediatric clinics partly depends on variables not related to the assessment experience per se. An assessment that was suited to the child, good cooperation with other public services such as primary health care and social/educational services, and giving sufficient information about the child’s diagnosis are essential to an overall positive caregiver evaluation of neurodevelopmental assessments.

Maternal and child health home visiting programmes demonstrate positive outcomes, yet retention of families in services can be difficult. This study examined caregiver satisfaction with home visiting programmes in South Carolina, USA, including an assessment of facilitators and barriers of satisfaction and overall engagement in services. A non-random, purposive sampling strategy was used to recruit caregivers enrolled in home visiting in South Carolina for study participation. Caregivers rated their satisfaction with home visiting highly and valued their programmes' educational components. Barriers to satisfaction and engagement included logistical factors such as difficulty scheduling appointments. Home visiting programmes should ensure their workforce development and accessibility practices are aligned to meet families' needs to promote retention in services.

ObjectivesTo measure trauma patient and caregiver satisfaction before and after implementation of standardised palliative care (PC) guidelines.MethodsProspective pre–post study at two level-I trauma centres. PC satisfaction surveys were administered prior to discharge for consented trauma patients (Family Satisfaction with Advanced Cancer Scale, Patient (FAMCARE-P13) survey)≥55 years, and their caregivers (FAMCARE survey), from 1 November 2016 to 30 November 2018. Standardised PC guidelines were implemented January 2018 and included consultations, prognostication assessments, identification of proxies, review of advanced directives and do not resuscitate orders within 24 hours of admission, while advanced goals of care, formal family meetings and spiritual care support were recommended within 72 hours of admission. Generalised linear models were used to determine whether differences in patient or caregiver satisfaction existed pre versus post implementation.ResultsThere were 572 patients (299 pre; 273 post) and 595 caregivers (334 pre; 261 post) included. Overall patient satisfaction significantly increased post implementation (82.0 vs 86.0, p=0.001). After adjustment, the implementation of the guidelines was an independent predictor of higher overall patient satisfaction (least squares mean (LSM= (83.8% (95%CI 81.2%-86.5%) vs 80.3% (77.7%-82.9%), p=0.003)). Compared with preimplementation, patient satisfaction was significantly higher post implementation in the following domains: information giving (80.9 vs 85.5, p=0.001), followed by physical care (82.2 vs 86.0, p=0.002), availability of care (83.4 vs 86.8, p=0.007) and psychosocial care (84.7 vs 87.6, p=0.04). No significant differences in caregiver satisfaction were found before or after adjustment (LSMpre: 83.1% (95%CI 80.9%-85.3%) vs. post: 82.4% (80.3%-84.5%), p=0.56))ConclusionsOur data suggest that the implementation of PC guidelines significantly improved patient satisfaction following traumatic injury, while maintaining robust caregiver satisfaction.
