SUNAM Protocol for Managing BPSD
This trial tests a structured caregiver training program called SUNAM, which teaches nursing home staff to identify and address unmet needs in residents with dementia as a way to reduce behavioral symptoms like agitation or aggression. Both groups get basic dementia education and VR simulation training; the experimental group gets extra SUNAM protocol training on top of that. This is a Phase NA study, meaning it is evaluating a care approach rather than a drug.
You may qualify if
- Diagnosed with dementia or documented as having dementia in medical records.
- Currently residing in the long-term care facility.
You're excluded if
- Diagnosed with schizophrenia.
- The resident's legal representative does not provide consent for participation.
