Staff training to reduce behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia in nursing home residents: A systematic review of intervention reproducibility

Revisão sistemática da reprodutibilidade dos treinamentos de equipes de profissionais de Instituições de Longa Permanência de Idosos para o manejo de sintomas psicológicos e comportamentais da demência

ABSTRACT

Staff training has been cited as an effective intervention to reduce behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in nursing home residents. However, the reproducibility of interventions can be a barrier to their dissemination. A systematic review of controlled clinical trials on the effectiveness of staff training for reducing BPSD, published between 1990 and 2013 on the EMBASE, PUBMED, LILACS, PSYCHINFO and CINAHL databases, was carried out to evaluate the reproducibility of these interventions by 3 independent raters. The presence of sufficient description of the intervention in each trial to allow its reproduction elsewhere was evaluated. Descriptive analyses were carried out. Despite reference to a detailed procedures manual in the majority of trials, these manuals were not easily accessible, limiting the replication of studies. The professional expertise requirement for training implementation was not clearly described, although most studies involved trainers with moderate to extensive expertise, further limiting training reproducibility.

Key words:
behavioral symptoms; dementia; nursing education; reproducibility of results.

RESUMO

Treinamentos de equipes têm sido citados como intervenções efetivas na redução de sintomas comportamentais e psicológicos da demência (SCPD) em residentes de Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos. Entretanto, a reprodutibilidade das intervenções pode ser uma barreira para sua disseminação. Uma revisão sistemática de ensaios clínicos controlados da efetividade de treinamento de equipes para a redução dos SCPD publicados entre 1990 e 2013 foi realizada através das bases de dados EMBASE, PUBMED, LILACS, PSYCHINFO e CINAHL para analisar a reprodutibilidade das intervenções por 3 avaliadores independentes. A presença de suficiente descrição da intervenção para permitir sua reprodução foi avaliada. Análise descritiva foi realizada. Apesar da citação na maioria dos estudos de um manual que detalha todos os procedimentos, esses não foram facilmente acessíveis. Embora a experiência profissional requerida não tenha sido claramente mencionada, a maioria dos treinadores tinha moderada a extensa experiência, o que também limita a reprodutibilidade.

Palavras-chave:
sintomas comportamentais; demência; educação em enfermagem; reprodutibilidade dos testes.
