Summary

This interventional study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a dyadic personalized home-based activity program in managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) among home-dwelling people living with mild-to-moderate dementia post-discharge. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does the dyadic personalized home-based activity program significantly reduce BPSD in individuals post-discharge with mild-to-moderate dementia?

Researchers will compare individuals living with mild to moderate dementia who are receiving routine care to see if the dyadic personalized home-based activity program is effective for BPSD.

Participants will:

1. In-hospital stage: A personalized home-based activity intervention plan is tailored for patients. Family caregivers receive professional training on care skills related to home-based activities and are provided with corresponding activity resources and support.
2. Post-discharge home-based stage: The intervention is delivered by family caregivers for a total of 12 weeks. The intervention is recommended to be performed twice per week, with each session lasting about 30 minutes in accordance with the patient's individual tolerance. Intermittent rest is advised (e.g., a 2-3 minute break every 10 minutes). The weekly intervention frequency and session duration can be flexibly adjusted according to the family caregivers' schedule and the patient's condition, including mood fluctuations and physical discomfort. Family caregivers are required to record the patient's activity participation, subjective feelings and behavioral responses, and submit regular feedback to the research team. Based on feedback from patients and family caregivers, the research team will conduct dynamic adjustments and continuous optimization of the intervention program throughout the study.
