IPPI Trial Summary

This trial tests if a positive psychosocial interaction can help reduce distress/depression in nursing home residents living with dementia. Care partners will interact 2x/week for 6 months and track impact.

This trial is for long-term nursing home residents with dementia and signs of distress or depression. Participants must have a low mental status score (0-12 on BIMS) and show certain behaviors like aggression, rejection of care, or restlessness. It's not for those planning to leave the nursing home within six months.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if it's possible to regularly provide Individualized Positive Psychosocial Interaction (IPPI) to these residents over six months, and if this can be tracked using electronic medical records. Care partners will conduct two tailored IPPI sessions weekly.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since IPPI involves social interaction tailored to individual preferences rather than medication, there are no typical drug side effects; however, participants may experience varying emotional responses based on their personal comfort with the interactions.
