Abstract
Review question/objective
The aim of this review is to identify and synthesise the best available evidence of the appropriateness and effectiveness of different strategies used to manage Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) in the residential care setting.
What is the appropriateness of different strategies used to manage Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) in the residential care setting?
What is the effectiveness of different strategies used to manage Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) in the residential care setting?
Inclusion criteria
Types of participants
This review will consider studies that look specifically at people who reside in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) who exhibit the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia in all of their forms. The behaviours only need to require management to be of interest to this study. The participants of interest for this review will be people 65 years and older, regardless of gender, ethnicity, co-morbidities. This will not include acute psycho-geriatric inpatient studies as these studies do not fit with the residential aged care model and are more akin to acute psychiatric care areas.
For this systematic review, the following definitions will be used:
Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) are defined as a facility which has been subsidised and sanctioned to provide care to older people (over 65 years commonly) who can no longer live independently.1
Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) is an umbrella term that embraces a heterogeneous group of non-cognitive symptoms and behaviours that occur in people with dementia. 9
TRUNCATED AT 350 WORDS
This is to be a comprehensive systematic review; as the current research literature available on this topic covers different kinds of evidence.
