Description

Co-Investigator on Project Project R6738NUR - Improving prevention, recognition and management of delirium across the island of Ireland through the co-design of an interdisciplinary digital resource for undergraduate healthcare students: DelHPIre (Delirium Health Professionals Ireland)

Research Focus - Delirium, Interdisciplinary Education, Higher Education, Co-Design Methodology, Complex Intervention Development

The overall aim of this project is to co-design an interdisciplinary all-Ireland digital education resource to improve prevention, recognition and management of delirium among undergraduate health profession students. This will be achieved by 3 research objectives (RO):

RO1: Attain consensus on the key public health messages relating to delirium education.

RO2: Co-design an interdisciplinary digital resource about delirium for undergraduate health profession students.

RO3: Testing the acceptability of the delirium resource with health profession students.

DelHPIre is an all-Ireland research project to co-design a multidisciplinary e-resource on delirium recognition, management and prevention for undergraduate health professional students. It is available to all higher education institutions on the island of Ireland and has the potential to shape the provision of undergraduate delirium education across the country.


The resource website provides a range of information on delirium, including assessment, management, prevention and the provision of multidisciplinary person-centre holistic care to people with delirium. This is supplemented by video, audio, and interactive activities. 


The resource was co-designed by researchers and Nursing, Medical, Pharmacy and Allied Health students from the University of Limerick and Queen’s University Belfast, funded by the HEA under the North-South Research Programme.
