Sponsor: Sykehuset Innlandet HF
Summary
Preventing and approaching crises for frail community-dwelling patients through innovative care (PRACTIC). Participatory action research in a cluster randomised controlled trial. The primary purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of an adapted version of a bio-psychosocial person centred model (TIME) to prevent and resolve crises for frail community-dwelling people receiving home care services. The investigators have formulated the following research questions (RQ): RQ1: Can the TIME model adapted for home care service, prevent, and resolve crises in frail people receiving home care services? RQ2: Which participant characteristics or organizational factors are associated with the effect of the TIME model? RQ3: What are the experiences of the users of home care services on how crises were approached during the trial?

TIME model in the prevention and treatment of crises in frail community-dwelling people
TIME is a manual-based, multicomponent programme that will include a rigorous assessment of the crises, one or more interdisciplinary case conferences and the testing and evaluation of customised treatment measures.This multicomponent interdisciplinary model consisting of three overlapping phases. First the assessment phase where the care staff and the physician collaborate in a comprehensive bio-psychosocial assessment. The second phase is the reflection phase with interdisciplinary case conferences based on principles from cognitive behavioural therapy and abc-method, where a customized treatment plan is developed. The abc-method from cognitive behavioural therapy is used as an analytic tool for the analyses of the complex challenges in the case conferences. In the third phase the treatment plan is implemented and evaluated systematically.
