Aim: Implementation of a locally developed evidence based nursing shift handover blueprint with a bedside-safety-check to determine the effect size on quality of handover.
Methods: A mixed methods design with: (1) an interrupted time series analysis to determine the effect on handover quality in six domains; (2) descriptive statistics to analyze the intercepted discrepancies by the bedside-safety-check; (3) evaluation sessions to gather experiences with the new handover process.
Results: We observed a continued trend of improvement in handover quality and a significant improvement in two domains of handover: organization/efficiency and contents. The bedside-safety-check successfully identified discrepancies on drains, intravenous medications, bandages or general condition and was highly appreciated.
Conclusion: Use of the nursing shift handover blueprint showed promising results on effectiveness as well as on feasibility and acceptability. However, to enable long term measurement on effectiveness, evaluation with large scale interrupted times series or statistical process control is needed.

Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), São Paulo, São Paulo/SP, Brazil.
Background: Dementia awareness and education are currently limited among healthcare workers and the general public, contributing towards the generation and propagation of stigma and discrimination against people with dementia worldwide. It is crucial to promote evidence-based anti-stigma interventions with a focus on stigma reduction.
Method: This is a randomized and controlled feasibility trial of a group intervention aimed at improving knowledge and reducing stigma related to dementia among Community Health Workers (CHWs) (Trial Registration: RBR-10xp637m).

Background: Technology has been increasingly integrated into controlling the decline of cognitive function for persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is unclear whether technology-based cognitive and exercise interventions could generate synergistic benefits and what components would optimize this effect.
Methods: In this study, we searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and APA PsycInfo from inception to Nov 4, 2023.

University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, MN, USA.
Background: In this study humanoid robots were programmed to deliver mindfulness-based stress relief therapy to individuals with dementia. Precisely programmed, these robots aim to enhance well-being, providing tailored interventions for relaxation, mood enhancement, and heightened cognition in dementia care, showcasing technology's promise in improving overall quality of life [1, 2, 3, 4].
Methods: In this study, the humanoid robot was programmed with a carefully AI based design protocol incorporating calming activities, guided breathing exercises, and interactive engagement, tailored to the cognitive abilities and preferences of individuals with dementia, to effectively deliver mindfulness-based stress relief therapy.
Incontinence Management has long been overlooked as a normal part of aging and the national standard of care has become changing individuals every 2 hours. While this was effective for decades, it is no longer providing results and even more challenging for those suffering from Dementia. Over 50% of nursing home residents are incontinent with over 57% of each shift of a certified nursing aide being attributed to incontinence care and management.
