Twenty-two patients in moderate and late stages of dementia were observed for 8 weeks by caregiving staff of a special care unit. Results indicated that bathing in a typical institutional tub is both a source of apprehension and obstreperous behavior and a considerable departure from prior lifelong bathing experiences. Given information about the habits and idiosyncrasies of patients, staff can play an important role in minimizing obstreperous behaviors. Staff training and awareness of the physical environment, which included attention to the interrelationship between environment and behavior, were found to be instrumental in successful bathing.
一个特殊护理单元的护理人员对22名中晚期痴呆患者进行了为期8周的观察。结果表明，在典型的机构浴缸中洗澡既是引起焦虑和吵闹行为的根源，也与患者之前一生的洗澡经历有很大不同。了解患者的习惯和特质后，工作人员可以在尽量减少吵闹行为方面发挥重要作用。工作人员培训以及对物理环境的认知，其中包括关注环境与行为之间的相互关系，被发现对成功进行洗澡护理至关重要。
