Nurse-led digital program to prevent delirium in older patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a special digital health program led by nurses to help prevent confusion and agitation (delirium) in older patients without using medicine. It might be a good fit if you are age 80+ and have several risk factors for delirium.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 80 years old or older.
- You have at least 3 risk factors for delirium, such as being male, taking many medicines, or having a urinary tract infection.
- You are admitted to a geriatric (senior-care) unit.
- You have family or friends to support you.
- You are not expected to pass away immediately from a cause other than delirium, and you do not already have delirium when you join.
