Systematic
Literature Review
The databases Medline, Embase, Psycinfo, Cinahl and
Pedro are being searched to identify pharmacological
and non-pharmacological intervention studies published
in the last 10 years. The about 10,000 references are
being screened for inclusion according to predefined
criteria.
Personal Interviews
Up to 20 semi-structured face-to-face interviews are
being performed with PwDAT in the first stage of the
disease. Up to 60 primary caregivers of PwDAT in the
first and advanced stages of the disease will also be
interviewed. In the focus are problems of daily living
and challenges caused by the illness.
Linking into the ICF
Goals and outcome measures of intervention studies identified
in the literature review as well as problems and challenges
experienced by PwDAT and caregivers of PwDAT identified
in the personal interviews will be linked into the ICF
and compared.
The
results of this comparison will be presented in a database
at the ICF Research Branch website. The project coordinators
in Munich are Elisabeth Linseisen and Eva Esteban and
the coordinator in Hamburg is Anke Beckmann.
