To understand antecedent behaviors to critical wandering among persons living with dementia in or outside of a facility. Caregivers were asked to write down the type and number of antecedent behaviors they observed in persons with dementia that were about to critically wander for 2-4 weeks. Observations were made through a developed questionnaire. Six antecedent behaviors were observed: stating intent to leave, door lingering/tampering, preparing to go outside, packing up belongings, calling to be picked up and draw to outside stimuli. Information from this study can be used in the education of wander-management strategy adoption among caregivers of persons with dementia at risk of getting lost.
为了了解居住在机构内外的痴呆症患者发生关键走失之前的行为。护理人员被要求记录在 2-4 周内即将发生关键走失的痴呆症患者的行为类型和数量。观察是通过开发的问卷进行的。观察到六种行为：表达离开的意图、在门口逗留/乱动、准备外出、收拾行李、叫人来接和对外部刺激做出反应。本研究的信息可以用于对有走失风险的痴呆症患者的护理人员进行走失管理策略的教育。
