Abstract:
The management of residents with BPSD (behavioral and psychological syndromes related to dementia) is often difficult ; psychotropic medications are frequently prescribed to deal with these problems, but because of the multiple side effects and their limited effectiveness, alternatives to medication should be considered. We wanted to test and compare the effectiveness of two non-medicinal approaches (NMA) in the management of residents with BPSD like agitation, anxiety, sleep disturbances or pain and see if they can permit to reduce the use of psychotropic drugs.
