Assessing the Impact of the AKU-DEMEN Collaborative Dementia Application on Patient Therapy Outcomes and Caregivers' Quality of Life and Satisfaction
Abstract
Dementia is a global health problem, with cases increasing every year. Dementia therapy aims to prevent worsening so patients maintain cognitive function, activity, and quality of life. However, the disease is irreversible with a poor prognosis and requires complex care, making it a challenge to overcome. Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) is an essential aspect of treatment, but effective collaboration frameworks are lacking. This study aims to analyze the impact of using the AKU-DEMEN application on patient therapy outcomes, both from the aspects of cognitive function, level of independence, quality of life of patients and their caregivers, and user’s satisfaction with using the application at the Memory Clinic of Dr. Sardjito Hospital. This study employed a quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design to evaluate the application's effectiveness in 80 eligible respondents. The instruments used included MoCa-Ina, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), DEMQOL-proxy, WHOQOL-BREF, and paired sample t-test for data analysis. The level of caregiver’s satisfaction was measured with the Customer Satisfaction questionnaire and qualitative analysis using NVIVO 12 Plus. The results showed that the AKU DEMEN application was effective in maintaining therapy outcomes, both from the aspects of cognitive function, level of independence, and quality of life of patients, with no significant decrease (p-value ≥ 0.05) before and after using the application, as well as improving the quality of life of caregivers, especially in the psychological and social domains. The level of caregivers reached 79.22% (satisfied category), with the interprofessional collaboration message feature as the main advantage. In conclusion, the app provides significant benefits in supporting dementia care and is expected to continue to be used in clinical practice.
