abstract = {Background: Extended nursing roles in dementia care can
improve treatment, care, and patient and caregiver outcomes.
We tested the efficacy and cost-effectiveness in People
living with Dementia (PlwD) and caregivers.Method: We
analyzed data from 417 PlwD within the multicenter,
cluster-randomized InDePendent trial six months after
baseline. Specifically qualified nurses carried out advanced
dementia care management tailored to patient's and
caregiver's needs. Outcomes includes unmet needs (CANE),
Quality of Life (QoL-AD, EQ-5D), Caregiver burden (Zarit),
and cost-effectiveness (FIMA, RUD).Result: PlwD receiving
the intervention had $74\%$ lower unmet needs (0.26,
$CI95\%0.17-0.40,$ p <0.001) and higher quality of life
(0.04, $CI95\%$ 0.01–0.07, p = 0.017) than controls. There
was a gain in QALY (0.01, $CI95\%-0.001-0.018)$ at slightly
higher costs (1,425€, $CI95\%$ 638-2,211). There was no
effect on caregiver burden.Conclusion:The results provide
evidence for the efficacy and effectiveness of extended
nursing roles in dementia care, demonstrating that extended
nursing roles reduce unmet needs and improve quality of
life.},
