Behavioural disturbance associated with dementia in people with Down's syndrome has not been fully researched. This study investigated such problems in demented Down's syndrome subjects and nondemented Down's syndrome controls. Changes in mood, difficulty with communication, gait deterioration, loss of self-care skills, sleep disturbance, day-time wandering and urinary incontinence were found to be associated with dementia. Problems giving the greatest cause for concern to carers were restlessness, loss of communication skills, urinary incontinence and wandering. Care provision specifically focused on management of behavioural disturbance in individuals who develop dementia is recommended.
唐氏综合征患者中与痴呆相关的行为障碍尚未得到充分研究。本研究调查了痴呆的唐氏综合征患者及非痴呆的唐氏综合征对照者中的此类问题。发现情绪变化、沟通困难、步态恶化、自我护理技能丧失、睡眠障碍、日间游荡和尿失禁与痴呆有关。护理人员最担心的问题是坐立不安、沟通技能丧失、尿失禁和游荡。建议针对出现痴呆的个体，专门制定侧重于行为障碍管理的护理方案。
