Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (e.g., aggression, agitation, wandering) affect the individual’s quality of life, daily functioning and dementia progression. The burden BPSD places on a caregiver increases their likelihood to choose institutionalization, which increases cost of care. Functional behavioral assessments have been used to determine function and effective interventions. The purpose of this training is to review behavior analytic methods to decrease BPSD.
Objectives:
- Define BPSD.
- Name three alternate terms for BPSD.
- List eight topographies of BPSD.
- List six side effects of BPSD.
- State the prevalence of BPSD.
- List two general common management approaches.
- Discuss the behavioral approach to BPSD.
Keywords: Gerontology, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, caregiver, symptoms, geriatric, functional assessment
