Behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD) are a major concern. The French government gave a consensual definition of reinforced intermediate-term care units for BPSD within the project "Plan Alzheimer 2008/2012".
Our aim was to report one of the first experiences of this unit in France.
Fifty-two patients (38 females, 14 males) were included, mean age 82.07±7.84 (73-97). About 80% of patients were improved and there was a high discharge rate to home of about 30%. Night-time behaviors, aberrant motor behaviors and agitation were the most frequent symptoms.
Our study confirms that demented elderly patients greatly benefit from a specific BPSD care unit in agreement with the objective of Plan Alzheimer 2008/2012.
痴呆中的行为和心理症状(BPSD)是一个主要问题。法国政府在“2008/2012年阿尔茨海默病计划”项目中对BPSD强化中期护理单元给出了一致的定义。
我们的目的是报告法国该单元的首批经验之一。
纳入了52例患者(38例女性,14例男性),平均年龄82.07±7.84岁(73 - 97岁)。约80%的患者病情得到改善,约30%的患者出院回家率较高。夜间行为、异常运动行为和激越为最常见症状。
我们的研究证实,痴呆老年患者从特定的BPSD护理单元中受益匪浅,这与2008/2012年阿尔茨海默病计划的目标一致。
