ABSTRACT
Many nursing home (NH) residents with advanced dementia receive burdensome interventions rather than interventions that promote comfort or quality of life. The purpose of the current study was to test the usability of a novel intervention, ADVANCED-Comfort, which aims to enhance the provision of personalized care for residents with advanced dementia. The intervention comprises structured care plan meetings between the NH team and proxies of residents with dementia (e.g., family members). Using the ADVANCED-Comfort workbook, proxies create individualized care plans addressing six domains adapted from the Age-Friendly Health System Framework. The purpose of this article is to describe the intervention and its theoretical underpinnings and report the usability of the intervention evaluated with surveys, observation, and exit interviews. The study demonstrated that proxies and NH staff found the intervention usable (acceptable, appropriate, and feasible). Based on these preliminary findings, additional testing of the ADVANCED-Comfort intervention is warranted. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 49(11), 15-23.].
