This paper describes DCM 8 and reports on the initial validation study of DCM 8.
Between 2001-2003, a series of international expert working groups were established to examine various aspects of DCM with the intention of revising and refining it. During 2004-2005 the revised tool (DCM 8) was piloted in seven service settings in the UK and validated against DCM 7th edition.
At a group score level, WIB scores and spread of Behavioural Category Codes were very similar, suggesting that group scores are comparable between DCM 7 and 8. Interviews with mappers and focus groups with staff teams suggested that DCM 8 was preferable to DCM 7th edition because of the clarification and simplification of codes; the addition of new codes relevant to person-centred care; and the replacement of Positive Events with a more structured recording of Personal Enhancers.
DCM 8 appears comparable with DCM 7th edition in terms of data produced and is well received by mappers and dementia care staff.
本文介绍痴呆症护理映射工具8（DCM 8）并报告其初始验证研究情况。
在2001年至2003年期间，成立了一系列国际专家工作组，以研究DCM的各个方面，目的是对其进行修订和完善。在2004年至2005年期间，修订后的工具（DCM 8）在英国的七个服务机构进行了试点，并与第7版DCM进行了验证。
在组分数值层面，加权个体行为（WIB）得分和行为类别代码分布非常相似，这表明DCM 7和8的组分数值具有可比性。对映射人员的访谈以及与工作人员团队的焦点小组讨论表明，DCM 8比第7版DCM更具优势，原因在于代码的澄清和简化；增加了与以人为本的护理相关的新代码；以及用更结构化的个人增强因素记录取代了积极事件。
就所产生的数据而言，DCM 8似乎与第7版DCM相当，并且受到映射人员和痴呆症护理人员的好评。
