Investigating the Impact of Multi-sensory Environments on Behavior During Assisted Bathing for Veterans With Dementia

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dementia, BPSD

In brief

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) greatly impact quality of life (QoL) for people with dementia, and pharmacological interventions are costly, ineffective or life-threatening. Law-makers support non-pharmacological interventions like multi-sensory environments (MSE) but they have not been widely studied. There is a critical need for investigation of MSE, particularly during assisted bathing, showering, and/or tub bathing, where most BPSD occur.
