  • Research has primarily concentrated on patient symptoms and caregiver support, with limited intervention studies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Continued research is essential in patient characteristics, behavior management, and caregiver support.
    • Developing and testing explanatory theories is crucial for advancing nursing knowledge in AD care.
    • Evaluation research is needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of various care settings and programs for AD patients and their families.
