TI  - Supporting Regional Aged Care Nursing Staff to Manage Residents' Behavioural and 
      Psychological Symptoms of Dementia, in Real Time, Using the Nurses' Behavioural 
      Assistant (NBA): A Pilot Site 'End-User Attitudes' Trial.
PG  - 24-28
AB  - BACKGROUND: This regional pilot site 'end-user attitudes' study explored nurses' 
      experiences and impressions of using the Nurses' Behavioural Assistant (NBA) (a 
      knowledge-based, interactive ehealth system) to assist them to better respond to 
      behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and will be reported 
      here. METHODS: Focus groups were conducted, followed by a four-week pilot site 
      'end-user attitudes' trial of the NBA at a regional aged care residential 
      facility (ACRF). Brief interviews were conducted with consenting nursing staff. 
      RESULTS: Focus group feedback (N = 10) required only minor cosmetic changes to 
      the NBA prototype. Post pilot site end-user interview data (N = 10) indicated 
      that the regional ACRF nurses were positive and enthusiastic about the NBA, 
      however several issues were also identified. CONCLUSIONS: Overall the results 
      supported the utility of the NBA to promote a person centred care approach to 
      managing BPSD. Slight modifications may be required to maximise its uptake across 
      all ACRF nursing staff.
