本研究旨在探讨失智症患者家庭照顾者对失智症相关行为问题的认知与诠释，并描述这些认知与诠释如何影响照顾者处理这些行为问题的经验。使用密集的访谈技术，家庭照顾者痴呆症患者（N = 10;所有女性）被要求描述他们的经验管理行为问题。结果表明，照顾者的解释的性质和原因的行为和她的看法的照顾者的能力来控制它的影响的方式，照顾者管理的行为问题，以及在何种程度上，她经历的负面后果。这些结果可能对卫生专业人员干预以帮助家庭照顾者管理与痴呆症相关的问题行为的方式具有重要意义。
The purposes of this study were to explore family caregiver perceptions and interpretations of dementia-related behavior problems, and describe how these perceptions and interpretations influenced the caregivers' experiences managing these behavior problems. Using intensive interviewing techniques, family caregivers to persons with dementia (N = 10; all women) were asked to describe their experiences managing behavior problems. The results suggest that the caregiver's interpretation of the nature and cause of the behavior and her perception of the care receiver's ability to control it influence the way in which the caregiver manages the behavior problems, and the degree to which she experiences negative consequences. These results may have important implications for the way in which health professionals intervene to assist family caregivers in managing problem behaviors related to dementia.
