| Annotation | The study aimed to test the feasibility of `Stop Delirium!', an intervention to prevent delirium in care homes for older people, and to optimise parameters to inform the design of a future trial evaluation. The intervention was successfully implemented in six care homes over a ten-month period. Preliminary evidence suggested that there were positive improvements in staff attitudes and practice following the intervention. There were also improved outcomes for residents, eg a reduction in the number of falls and prescribed medications. (JL). |
