Abstract
INTRODUCTION Self-management is pivotal in helping people with their independence and in managing their health conditions more effectively. The PRIDE-app is a novel online intervention, providing support and information for people living with dementia and their families, aimed at increasing self-management and improving quality of life. Knowledge generated will help inform future developments to the app, with the aim of improving its uptake and implementation in services. METHODS A mixed-methods approach incorporating the RE-AIM framework. Recruited 25 people living with dementia, of which 17completed the PRIDE-app intervention over 8 weeks with support from a dementia adviser facilitator. Measures exploring mood, physical well-being, and quality of life were collected at baseline, 3 and 6 months and analysed through modelled analysis. Post-intervention interviews were conducted with participants and facilitators and analysed through thematic analysis. RESULTS Quantitative results did not show significant improvements in participants' scores. Qualitative data showed that the PRIDE-app motivated people to reconnect socially and set individual goals for activities. Participants and facilitators identified areas for improvements to the app interface and delivery format. CONCLUSIONS This study evaluated the PRIDE-app's reach, effectiveness and adoptability in the independence and quality of life of people living with dementia, as well as how it could be implemented and maintained within services. Pre- and post-intervention scores were inconclusive. Interviews provided positive feedback of the app's influence on peoples' activities and mood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of the SPAN-intervention, a psychosocial intervention aiming at improving a sense of usefulness and engaging in meaningful activities, for community-dwelling people living with young-onset dementia (YOD) and their family caregivers. METHODS A cluster-randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups (SPAN-intervention vs. care as usual) with assessments at baseline and five-month follow-up was performed. Sixty-one persons living with YOD and their family caregivers were included (SPAN-intervention group: n = 35; care as usual group: n = 26). Outcomes included, for the person living with YOD, empowerment (operationalized by self-management abilities using the SMAS-30; primary outcome), quality of life, neuropsychiatric symptoms, disability, apathy; and, for the family caregiver, quality of life, emotional distress, sense of competence. Data were analyzed using linear mixed models. RESULTS We found no statistically significant effects of the SPAN-intervention on empowerment, nor on the secondary outcome measures for persons living with YOD or their family caregivers. CONCLUSION Although the SPAN-intervention may provide concrete opportunities to engage in activities and stimulate reciprocity, such as meaningful social activities, this study did not demonstrate intervention effects. Additional qualitative evaluations may provide more insight into the implementation process and experiences of people living with YOD and their family caregivers.This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02937883).

Abstract
BACKGROUND An important goal in dementia care is how people with dementia can be supported in living well. To this end, we need a conceptualization of "living well" that is suitable for older people with dementia and then develop this conceptualization from the perspectives of both older people and caregivers. This study analyzed the concept of "living well" among older people with dementia. METHODS Following Schwartz-Barcott and Kim's hybrid model, this study comprised theoretical, fieldwork, and final analytic phases. In the theoretical phase, we reviewed the extant literature. In the fieldwork phase, we conducted in-depth interviews with 12 participants (five older people with dementia, two family members, and five nurses), followed by qualitative content analysis. In the final analytic phase, we defined the concept of "living well" by comprehensively analyzing the data from the theoretical phase and results from the fieldwork phase. RESULTS We derived physical, mental, and social relationship dimensions of the conceptualization of "living well" for older people with dementia. The physical dimensions were "ability for daily living" and "symptom management." The mental dimensions were "psychological health," "psychological stability," "maintaining identity and growth," and "human dignity." Finally, the social relationship dimensions were "maintaining social relations and community connectivity" and "government support." CONCLUSIONS Our analysis of the concept of "living well" can be used for developing tools and interventions to improve the ability of older people with dementia to live well.

Abstract
Disproportionate negative effects since the pandemic have amplified the already limited post-diagnostic support for older people with dementia. This paper summarizes an exploratory randomized controlled study of a proactive family-based intervention compared with "usual" post-diagnostic dementia care. Memory clinic practitioners collaborated with the family doctor (GP) to coordinate this. At 12-month follow-up, positive effects on mood, behavior, carer coping and maintenance of care at home were found. Current approaches to deliver post-diagnostic support in primary care may require rethinking since (i) GP workloads have increased with low numbers of GPs per head of population in parts of England; and (ii) unlike many other long-term conditions, ongoing stigma, fear and uncertainty associated with dementia adds to the huge complexity of timely care provision. There is a case for return to a "one-stop facility", with a single pathway of continuing multidisciplinary coordinated care for older people with dementia and families. Future longitudinal research could compare structured post-diagnostic psychosocial intervention coordinated by skilled practitioners in a single locality memory service "hub", against other approaches such support organized mostly within primary care. Dementia-specific instruments for outcome measurement are available for use in routine practice, and should be included in such comparative studies.

Abstract
Background With the rapid increase in the prevalence of dementia in the United Kingdom and beyond, the emotional, social, and economic burden on individuals, families, and health care services continues to rise. Currently, interventions that enable people living with dementia to better manage their condition and achieve a good quality of life are needed. Objective This study aimed to explore how the Promoting Independence in Dementia (PRIDE) app can promote and support the self-management of people living with mild dementia. Methods Feasibility of a pre-post study design incorporating the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework will be studied. We will use up to 6 National Health Service Trusts as research sites and the Join Dementia Research website and accept self-referrals to recruit 60 to 90 people living with mild dementia. Participants will complete the PRIDE app intervention over 8 weeks with support from a dementia adviser facilitator. Measures exploring mood, physical well-being, and quality of life will be collected at baseline and at follow-ups at 3 and 6 months. Facilitators and National Health Service staff will be invited to complete interviews shortly after the intervention phase. Results Data collection began in June 2021 and is predicted to cease by the end of August 2022. Analysis of the quantitative measures will explore the impact of the PRIDE app on participants’ independence, mood, and quality of life. Interview data will discuss participant experiences, how the use of the app affected them, and if it has the potential to be successfully implemented and maintained in dementia services. Conclusions This study will show the potential reach, effectiveness, and adoption of the PRIDE app intervention in the lives of people with mild dementia. The findings from this study will inform future research on the PRIDE app and any further developments to improve its effectiveness.

A mixed-methods feasibility study of a goal-focused manualised intervention to support people with dementia to stay living independently at home with support from family carers: NIDUS (New Interventions for Independence in Dementia Study) Family. Aging Ment Health 2021; 25:1463-1474.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the feasibility and acceptability of NIDUS-Family, a 6-8 session manualised, individually tailored, modular intervention supporting independence at home for people with dementia; and explore participants' and facilitators' experiences of the intervention. METHOD In this single group multi-site feasibility study, trained, supervised non-clinically qualified graduates (facilitators) delivered NIDUS-Family to family carer and people living with dementia dyads. We recruited participants from GP practices and memory services in London and Bradford. We completed quantitative outcomes pre- and post-intervention; and conducted qualitative interviews with participants and facilitators. Our pre-specified main outcomes were proportion of potential participants approached who agreed to participate, intervention adherence and acceptability to family carers, and facilitator fidelity to the manual. RESULTS We recruited 16 dyads (57% of those approached); 12 (75%) completed the intervention. Of 12 participants rating intervention acceptability, 9 (75%) agreed or strongly agreed that it had helped; 2 (18%) neither agreed nor disagreed and 1 (8%) disagreed. Mean facilitator fidelity was high (81.5%). Dyads set on average 3.9 goals; these most commonly related to getting out and about and increasing activity/hobby participation (n = 10); carer wellbeing (n = 6), managing physical complaints (n = 6); meal preparation/cooking (n = 5); and reducing irritability, frustration or aggression (n = 5). Almost all secondary outcomes changed in a direction indicating improvement. In our qualitative analysis we identified three overarching themes; relationships facilitate change, goal-focused versus manualised approach and balancing the needs of carers and people with dementia. CONCLUSION NIDUS-Family was feasible and acceptable to participants. Following refinements, testing in a pragmatic trial is underway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need for interventions to foster and maintain independence for people with dementia to support community living, improve morale, and reduce stigma. We investigated a social intervention to promote living well and enhance independence for people with mild dementia. METHODS In this two arm parallel group, feasibility RCT at six sites in England, participants were randomized (1:1) to the PRIDE intervention (encompassing social, physical, and cognitive domains supported by a facilitator over three sessions) compared to usual care only. The main objective was to determine the feasibility of a main trial with respect to measures of recruitment, retention, and adherence to the intervention. RESULTS During a 7-month period, 402 people were invited to the trial, 148 were screened (37%, 95% confidence interval (CI)=32-42%), 137 were eligible at pre-consent, 94 consented to the trial (69% of those eligible, 95% CI=60-76%), and 92 were randomized (46 to each group). Of those allocated to the intervention, 42 (91%) received at least one of three intervention sessions. Outcome assessment follow-up visits were completed for 73 participants at 6 months (79%, 95% CI=70-87%), and this was similar for both groups. CONCLUSION A large multi-center trial of the PRIDE intervention in community-dwelling people with mild dementia is feasible using systematic recruitment strategies. The intervention was successfully delivered and well received by participants. Findings from this study will be used to refine the design and processes for a definitive RCT.
