Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We carry out SF-DEM for people with dementia and family caregivers by SF-DEM-J under the COVID-19 epidemic, and evaluate the decline in their social function.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

In addition, one year after the recruitment, and if the epidemic has not converged at that time, it will be evaluated again at the time of convergence, and the social functions at the time of social crisis and in normal times will be compared.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Reliability and validity of SF-DEM-J

Key secondary outcomes

We validate the correlation between Section 1-3 total of SF-DEM and MMSE, GDS, and each section of SF-DEM with conventional neuropsychological tests, and correlation with Clinical Dementia Rating score (CDR) of community activitiy. Regression analysis is performed on how the items of Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL) are related.

Results

The scale's interrater reliability was excellent and test-retest reliability was substantial. Content validity was confirmed for the caregiver-rated SF-DEM-J, and convergent validity was moderate. Caregiver-rated SF-DEM-J was associated with apathy, irritability, loneliness, and cognitive impairment. The total score of caregiver-rated SF-DEM-J and the score of Section 2, "communication with others," significantly improved at 6-8 months of follow-up.

Baseline Characteristics

We interviewed people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia and their caregivers during June 2020-March 2021 to validate patient- and caregiver-rated SF-DEM-J and compared their scores at baseline (April 2020 to May 2020) and at 6-8 months (January 2021 to March 2021) during a time of tighter COVID-19 restrictions.

Participant flow

We interviewed people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia and their caregivers during June 2020-March 2021 to validate patient- and caregiver-rated SF-DEM-J and compared their scores at baseline (April 2020 to May 2020) and at 6-8 months (January 2021 to March 2021) during a time of tighter COVID-19 restrictions.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

The SF-DEM-J is acceptable as a measure of social function in MCI and mild dementia. Our results show that the social functioning of people with dementia, especially communicating with others, improved during the COVID-19 pandemic, probably as a result of adaptation to the restrictive life.

We evaluate the validity and reliability of SF-DEM by SF-DEM-J under the COVID-19 epidemic.
We also verify the agreement between SF-DEM people with MCI or mild dementia and SF-DEM family caregivers.
Since it is presumed that social activities and hobby activities will be impaired under the COVID-19 epidemic, SF-DEM-J under the COVID-19 epidemic will be conducted for patients and family caregivers, and SF- By verifying the reliability and validity of DEM-J, and by seeing the correlation between SF-DEM-J items and the conventional neuropsychological tests, we examine which of the core symptoms of illness and BPSD cause social decline towards people with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia.
