As well as updating programmes of study, we need better teacher training, higher standards, and continual assessment of what pupils are being taught.
With a strategic plan and a regularly updated programme monitoring framework, it becomes easier to track and identify what the problem was – and what to not do next time.
Apart from that, the concise updated programme is equivalent to the updated original intervention.
The concise version of the updated programme was developed, based on the in-depth analysis of the initial process evaluation [ 1, 20].
The study is a pragmatic cluster-randomised controlled trial comparing two intervention groups, i.e. (1) the updated original multicomponent intervention programme and (2) the concise version of the updated programme, with a control group receiving optimised usual care.
The main objective of the present study is to implement two versions of the guideline-based multicomponent intervention (updated original programme and concise version of the updated programme) and to investigate whether the interventions result in a reduction of PR use in nursing home residents when compared to optimised usual care.
If implementation is successful, the concise version of the updated programme will be a less extensive and potentially more cost-effective intervention for avoiding the use of PR and should be implemented in nursing homes throughout Germany.
A total of 120 nursing homes will be randomised equally either to one of the two intervention groups, i.e. (1) to the updated original multicomponent intervention programme or (2) to the concise version of the updated programme, or to the control group receiving optimised usual care (see Fig. 1).
Litfin hopes that new or updated programmes will provoke interest among the young.
