The review reports a single blind, non-randomized controlled trial with n = 81 staff and n = 48 family members in long-term care, in which "LTC control group staff reported less work satisfaction" and control family members reported lower perceived quality of life at 12 months. No effect sizes or p values are printed for these contrasts.

"LTC control group staff reported less work satisfaction (lower staff experiences of working with residents living with dementia questionnaire scores) compared to those in intervention group at 12 months. Family members in the control group reported lower levels of perceived quality of life for their family member with dementia when compared to the family members in the intervention group at 12 months."
