Abstract

Verbally agitated behaviours are among the behavioural symptoms of dementia most commonly encountered in long-term care facilities. These behaviours may be related to unmet needs that cannot be expressed adequately because of cognitive impairment. The objective of this preliminary study is to assess an intervention, based on the needs of social attention, sensory stimulation, and comfort, for managing verbally agitated behaviours in long-term care demented patients. A multiple baseline case study design was used, with two participants.

Résumé

Parmi les symptômes comportementaux associés à la démence, l'agitation verbale (AV) est l'un des plus répandus en centre d'hébergement et de soins de longue durée (CHSLD) et pourrait, entre autres, résulter de besoins insatisfaits qui ne peuvent être exprimés adéquatement. Cette étude préliminaire a pour objectif d'évaluer l'efficacité d'une intervention basée sur les besoins d'attention, de stimulation sensorielle et de confort pour réduire l'AV auprès de personnes âgées atteintes de démence sévère résidant en CHSLD. Un protocole à cas unique à niveaux de base multiples a été utilisé auprès de deux participants.
