可能影响流浪行为的三个社会心理因素以前已经确定：应对压力的终身模式，以前的工作角色，以及需要寻找与安全相关的人或地方。管理流浪行为的策略包括改变环境、有计划的活动、体育锻炼和关注心理社会史。然而，有限的注意力已经给予测试心理社会的方法，可以使用的养老院工作人员与居民谁徘徊互动时。这项研究的结果表明，提供足够的工作人员与居民互动的时间，解决居民的活动和休息的需求，以及适当的环境改造方案，应与减少使用抗精神病药物和身体限制一起发生。
Three psychosocial factors that may influence wandering behavior have been previously identified: lifelong patterns of coping with stress, previous work roles, and a need to search for persons or places associated with security. Strategies for managing wandering behavior include environmental modifications, planned activities, physical exercise, and attention to psychosocial history. However, limited attention has been given to testing psychosocial approaches that could be used by nursing home staff when interacting with residents who wander. The findings of this study suggest that providing sufficient staff time for interacting with residents, programs that address residents' needs for activity and rest, and appropriate environmental modifications should occur in conjunction with the decreased use of antipsychotic medications and physical restraints.
