Effective management of challenging behaviours in cognitively impaired aged care residents through a research-based nursing care model

与认知障碍有关的行为，如尖叫和持续，标志着老年人生活状况的一个决定性转折点，预示着他们的生活质量下降，并被安置在老年护理设施中。工作人员可以通过以人为本的护理方法促进居民的健康和福祉。这项研究采用痴呆症护理映射，以实现这些目标的居民通过参与行动研究。预期成果是触发这些挑战性行为的背景因素显著减少，居民健康、福祉和生活质量得到改善，工作人员的知识、技能和权能得到增强。

Challenging behaviours associated with cognitive impairment, such as screaming and perseveration, marks a decisive turning point in the life situation for an older person, heralding a deterioration in their quality of life and placement in an aged care facility. Staff can promote the residents health and well-being through person-centred care approaches. The study employs Dementia Care Mapping to achieve these goals for the resident through participatory action research. The expected outcomes are a significant reduction in contextual factors that trigger these challenging behaviours, an improvement in the residents health, well-being and quality of life, and increased knowledge, skills and empowerment in staff.
