The purpose of the study was to describe a Danish nursing home population. The study consists of 288 nursing home residents (median age 84.6 years, 68% females). The psychiatric morbidity of the residents was diagnosed with the GMS-AGECAT. The staff was interviewed about the residents' ADL, disturbing behaviour and therapeutic measures. Seventy-one percent had a psychiatric disorder, with organic disorder as the most frequent (61%). Demented residents received significantly less hypnotics, were more often physically restrained and had lower ADL levels compared to other residents. The situation in Denmark can be seen as a paradox. While substantial effort has been made to increase the possibility of choice and to "deinstitutionalize" nursing homes, the majority of the residents are demented and thus not capable of making valid choices.
该研究的目的是描述丹麦养老院人群的情况。该研究包括288名养老院居民（中位年龄84.6岁，68%为女性）。使用GMS-AGECAT对居民的精神疾病进行诊断。就居民的日常生活活动能力、干扰行为和治疗措施对工作人员进行了访谈。71%的居民患有精神疾病，其中器质性疾病最为常见（61%）。与其他居民相比，患有痴呆症的居民服用催眠药的量明显较少，更多地受到身体约束，日常生活活动能力水平较低。丹麦的情况可被视为一种矛盾现象。虽然已做出大量努力来增加选择的可能性并使养老院“非机构化”，但大多数居民患有痴呆症，因此无法做出有效的选择。
