Feasibility of Community Occupational Therapy for Dementia (COT-D)

Sponsor: University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia

Summary

The goal of this feasibility pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a community-based occupational therapy protocol for people living with dementia in community settings. The protocol was developed through a systematic review of occupational therapy interventions and a modified Delphi study to establish expert consensus regarding its therapeutic components and characteristics. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the community-based occupational therapy protocol feasible to implement for people living with dementia in community settings? * Is the intervention acceptable to participants and their caregivers? * Can the study procedures be successfully implemented to inform the design of future clinical trials? Participants will: * Receive the community-based occupational therapy intervention delivered according to the study protocol. * Participate in study assessments throughout the intervention period. * Provide information that will help researchers evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and study procedures. This study will also provide preliminary information about potential changes in occupational outcomes following participation in the intervention. The results of this pilot study will help optimize the intervention protocol and inform the design of future clinical trials evaluating its effectiveness in people living with dementia. In addition to quantitative outcome measures, participants' and caregivers' experiences of the intervention and study procedures will be collected to further evaluate intervention acceptability and identify potential barriers, facilitators, and areas for protocol refinement.
