Abstract:
BPSD is relatively common but profoundly disturbing to persons with dementia, their family, and caregivers. Growing recognition of the impact of BPSD on quality of life has improved recently, but assessment and management approaches are still lacking. Considerable controversy surrounding the label of BPSD has garnered a great deal of attention, with implications of its contribution to the already pervasive dementia-related stigma experienced by persons with dementia and their caregivers. This brief review aims to summarize salient viewpoints, controversies, and considerations of the assessment, management, and perception of BPSD, in an effort to offer potential recharacterizations of BPSD to promote and prioritize personhood in persons with dementia.
摘要:
BPSD相对常见,但对痴呆症患者来说却深感不安,他们的家庭,和照顾者。最近,人们越来越认识到BPSD对生活质量的影响,但是评估和管理方法仍然缺乏。围绕BPSD标签的相当大的争议引起了极大的关注,这意味着它对痴呆症患者及其护理人员所经历的已经普遍存在的痴呆症相关污名的贡献。这篇简短的评论旨在总结突出的观点,争议,以及评估的考虑,管理,和BPSD的感知,努力提供BPSD的潜在重新表征,以促进和优先考虑痴呆症患者的人格。
