详细描述
Context :
Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) arouse researchers' interest because they are frequent manifestations responsible for a large share of the suffering of patients and caregivers. Apathy is the most frequent of them.
Systematic literature reviews on non-pharmacological treatment for BPSD indicates that some technique and more particularly residential care staff training program appear to have promising results, even if the level of evidence of efficacy remains moderate partly because of the paucity of scientific quality research in this area.
The most of them comes from Anglo-Saxon country. In France, the TNM en EHPAD study demonstrated the staff training program efficacy regarding to the management of behavioral positive symptoms such as agitation or aggressiveness compared to a control group
