Abstract:
Wandering is a potentially dangerous event for individuals living with dementia and is equally as stressful for their caregivers. The purpose of the current study was to examine the validity of the Risk of Wandering (RoW) scale in terms of predicting wandering. We compared the RoW scale's validity against two widely used scales that assessed dementia as reported by caregivers: Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE; Jorm) and Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist (RMBPC; Roth et al.). The RoW scale predicted wandering events better than the IQCODE and comparably with the RMBPC, which is longer and less specific to wandering.
