Models of care services for the elderly in terms of medical surgical care and mental health need to be improved. Elderly with disabilities are at high risk of adverse health outcomes, and the best model of care has yet to be determined. A good holistic care model to empower every individual in society to improve the quality of care needs to be recommended. For example, comprehensive health care programs such as the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) for adults and the elderly. The research objective was to determine the effectiveness of PACE in improving medical-surgical care and mental health. The search strategy for English-language studies relevant to the topic was carried out using the ScienceDirect database, limited from 2011 to 2021. The keywords used were “PACE”, “Medical Surgical Treatment”, “Mental Health”, “elderly”. Article full text reviewed to select studies that fit the criteria. The inclusion criteria in this review are: the nursing service program model, namely PACE. The search used the keywords above with the ScienceDirect database that matched the inclusion criteria for only 7 articles. The PACE service model improves services in Medical Surgical and Mental Health care, and implement a collaborative care model using a comprehensive interdisciplinary team.

“…17,20 In Vietnam, the older adult population is increasing rapidly in both absolute and relative numbers with the average lifespan increasing by four to 75 years in the last two decades. The prevalence of cognitive symptoms of dementia in adults aged 60 years and above is relatively high in Vietnam (14.4-46.4%) 23,24 with an estimated 2.4 million people living with dementia in Vietnam by 2050. 25 Advancing the mental health of older people in Vietnam is critical in the face of population growth and increased living standards resulting in longer lifespan.…”

Background: Multidomain interventions have been shown to be effective in improving cognition, quality of life, reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms and delaying progression of functional impairment or disability in dementia patients. To investigate the multidomain intervention in other populations and diverse cultural and geographical settings, this pilot study will assess the feasibility of a multidomain intervention for older people with dementia in nursing homes in Vietnam. Methods: Participants will be randomized into two equal groups, to receive either a multidomain intervention (intervention group) or regular health advice (control group). The intervention will include physical, cognitive, and social interventions as well as management of metabolic and vascular risk factors. We will hypothesize that the multidomain intervention will be feasible in Vietnam, and participants who receive the intervention will show improvement in quality of life, behaviors, functional ability, cognitive function, sleep, and in reduction of falls, use of healthcare services, and death rate compared to those in the control group during the 6 months intervention period and after the 6 months extended follow-up. Discussion: This is the first study to evaluate the feasibility of a multidomain intervention program for older people with dementia in nursing homes in Vietnam. The results from the trial will inform clinicians and the public of the possibility of comprehensive treatment beyond simply drug treatments for dementia. This paves the way for further studies to evaluate the long-term effects of multidomain interventions in dementia patients. Furthermore, the research results will provide information on the effectiveness of multidomain interventions which will inform policy development on dementia. Trial Registration: The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04948450 on 02/07/2021.
