Abstract

Introduction: Most behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) scales have copyright issues and are difficult for care staff to use in daily care settings because they were primarily designed for physicians. Therefore, an easier tool for care staff is required. This study aimed to develop and validate the BPSD questionnaire 13-item version (BPSD13Q).

Methods: We obtained data from 444 people with dementia living in group homes in Japan using the BPSD plus questionnaire (BPSD + Q; 27-item version) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory Nursing Home version (NPI-NH). We selected appropriate items to make a short-form version of the BPSD + Q and examined the construct validity, internal consistency, and criterion-related validity of the questionnaire.

Results: By the pilot review, research on correlations with similar items from comparable scales, and factor analysis, we reduced 27 items to 13 items (BPSD13Q). The BPSD13Q and BPSD13Q-distress (BPSD13Q-D) showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.76 and 0.80, respectively). Moreover, the BPSD13Q was positively correlated with the NPI-NH (r = 0.72, p < 0.001) and BPSD + Q (r = 0.95, p < 0.001). The BPSD13Q-D was positively correlated with the NPI-NH-caregiver distress (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) and BPSD + Q-distress (r = 0.96, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: We developed and validated the BPSD13Q, which is a short-form version of the BPSD + Q and is downloadable. The BPSD13Q may make BPSD evaluations easier for the care staff.

痴呆行为与心理症状问卷13题版(BPSD13Q)的编制与评估

大多数痴呆行为和心理症状(BPSD)量表都有版权问题，护理人员难以在日常护理环境中使用，因为它们主要是为医生设计的。因此，需要为护理人员提供一种更简单的工具。本研究旨在编制并验证BPSD问卷13项版本(BPSD13Q)。方法:采用BPSD + Q问卷(BPSD + Q;27项版本)和神经精神量表养老院版本(NPI-NH)。我们选择合适的项目制作了简短版的BPSD + Q，并对问卷的结构效度、内部一致性和标准相关效度进行了检验。结果:通过试点审查、与可比量表相似条目的相关性研究和因子分析，我们将27个条目减少到13个(BPSD13Q)。BPSD13Q和BPSD13Q-distress (BPSD13Q- d)具有良好的内部一致性(Cronbach’s α分别为0.76和0.80)。BPSD13Q与NPI-NH呈正相关(r = 0.72, p < 0.001)，与BPSD + Q呈正相关(r = 0.95, p < 0.001)。BPSD13Q-D与npi - nh -照顾者痛苦(r = 0.74, p < 0.001)、BPSD + q -痛苦(r = 0.96, p < 0.001)呈正相关。结论:我们开发并验证了BPSD13Q，这是BPSD + Q的简化版本，可以下载。BPSD13Q可以使护理人员更容易评估BPSD。
