We describe the types of aggressive behaviour and determine their prevalence in a sample of hospitalized elderly psychiatric patients. Data were obtained by nurse ratings of aggressive behaviour using the recently developed Rating Scale for Aggressive Behaviour in the Elderly; 90 patients were rated over a 3-d period. Nearly half the sample were at least mildly aggressive; the frequencies of some specific types of aggressive behaviour were high. In contrast, the frequency of injuries and the use of restraints and medication for aggressive behaviour were low. Some correlates of the aggressive behaviour were also analysed.
我们描述了攻击性行为的类型，并确定了其在住院老年精神病患者样本中的患病率。数据通过护士使用最近开发的《老年人攻击性行为评定量表》对攻击性行为进行评分获得；在3天的时间里对90名患者进行了评分。近一半的样本至少有轻度攻击性；某些特定类型攻击性行为的发生率很高。相比之下，攻击性行为导致受伤的频率以及使用约束措施和药物治疗攻击性行为的频率较低。我们还分析了攻击性行为的一些相关因素。
