摘要：

To address the need for collaborative approaches to managing dementia in primary care, we implemented the Living with Dementia (LWD) program in a geriatric primary care clinic. This study evaluated the impact of short (<= 6 months) and longer-term (7+ months) participation in LWD on care partner outcomes (i.e., self-efficacy, depression, and burden) using t-tests and examined dementia support topics discussed with care partners through the intervention using deductive content analysis. Across 20 months analyzed, 57 dyads participated in the LWD program. Short and longer-term LWD participation indicated a significant increase in self-efficacy with small effect sizes; no changes were observed in depression or burden. Dementia support topics most frequently discussed with care partners focused on care partner well-being, behavior management, and offering referrals. This early evaluation suggests a collaborative care program integrated into primary care can address needs related to caring for persons with dementia and may improve care partner self-efficacy.
