Abstract/Notes: Given the social burden and significant cost of dementia care in Australia, finding evidence-based approaches that improve outcomes, maintain independence, and reduce the impact on patients and families is essential. Finding effective ways to train and assist the healthcare staff who support these individuals is also critical, as they are considered to be at risk of workplace stress, burnout, and other psychological disturbances which negatively affects standards of care. The current paper describes a protocol for evaluating the effects of a Montessori-based approach to dementia care, in non-residential respite centres. An 18 month prospective observational, cohort controlled design is suggested that will compare participants from a community respite service that has undergone a Montessori-based workplace culture change and those from a service that provides a person-centred ‘care as usual’ approach. To achieve this, the protocol includes the assessment of participants across multiple variables on a monthly basis including the cognitive, behavioural, and emotional functioning of clients with dementia, levels of caregiver burden experienced by informal carers, and burnout, compassion satisfaction and workplace engagement among respite staff. The protocol also employs a qualitative evaluation of program fidelity. This approach will provide further insight into the potential benefits of early intervention with Montessori approaches for persons living with dementia in the community, their caregivers, and the staff and volunteers who assist them.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori education has been established in Australia for over a century and yet remains marginal in the wider educational landscape. First adopted by social reformers in the early years of the nineteenth century with broad implementation in government schools and teacher training colleges, a second wave in the 1970s and early 1980s was built on parent demand, migration from Europe and the availability of government grants. Today, while there is a promising third-wave expansion of Montessori education in the area of childcare, the percentage of Montessori schools in the school sector has not increased. Government accountability, division among Montessori organizations and the wider provision of schooling for children under six in Australia have limited further growth.
