Background:Nursing home residents with dementia often have an array of neuropsychiatric symptoms, including dementia-related agitation. It is theorized that many of these agitation symptoms occur due to unmet psychosocial needs that could be met by the presence of a caring nursing staff member, family member, or friend.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether live simulated presence improves dementia-related agitation when offered, identify barriers and facilitators to simulated presence between caregivers and residents of long-term care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine if live simulated presence by a caregiver delivered one-on-one improved quality of life in long-term care residents.Methods: Algase's Need-driven, Dementia-compromised behavior theory provides a framework for explaining why dementia-related agitation occurs and how the intervention, simulated presence, could diminish the expression of agitation. This single-group, within-subjects, quasi-experimental study measures the change in agitation type and frequency from baseline to after two weeks of using simulated presence. Up to 24 older adults were recruited from nursing homes. The Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory were used at baseline and one day after the last simulated presence session was completed to measure agitation frequency and type. Simulated presence sessions lasted up to 15 minutes, and up to nine sessions were offered over two weeks. The QUALIDEM was utilized to measure the study participant's quality of life before the first intervention and one day after the last intervention. Additional data collection included demographic details from the minimum data set and use of the Dementia Severity Rating Scale to measure the severity of dementia in participants. Demographic data and severity level of dementia were used to identify any trends in personal attributes that might increase or decrease success with simulated presence. This research has the potential to demonstrate agitation reduction and improved quality of life in older adults residing in nursing homes by use of a simple intervention.
