Although the majority of people with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders are cared for in the home for most of their illness, there are few resources available on a consistent basis for nursing interaction. Nurses employed in a variety of settings provide ongoing information and support for families and caregivers in order to provide well-informed care. Because of the complexity of symptom presentation and care, the use of a simple conceptual model can be a valuable aid, helping families to understand behavioral alterations. The evaluation of behaviors as stress related assists both families and caregivers in determining the cause and effect of activities and environment to assist in enhancing comfort and life quality for both.
尽管大多数患有阿尔茨海默病及相关病症的人在患病的大部分时间里都在家中接受照料，但持续进行护理互动的资源却很少。受雇于各种机构的护士为家庭和护理人员提供持续的信息和支持，以便提供明智的护理。由于症状表现和护理的复杂性，使用一个简单的概念模型可能是一种有价值的帮助，有助于家庭理解行为改变。将行为评估为与压力相关，有助于家庭和护理人员确定活动和环境的因果关系，从而帮助提高双方的舒适度和生活质量。
