Abstract

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are symptoms of dementia that family care-givers find difficult to manage. Competence in managing BPSD differs according to individual family caregiver. The current study investigated the competence in managing BPSD, focusing on family caregivers who were recognized as managing them well. Twenty-four Korean family caregivers (83% female, mean age = 67 years) living with persons with dementia (PWD) were interviewed. Four themes were derived from the content analysis: Entering and Looking into the World of PWD, Keeping Daily Life in Harmony With BPSD, Becoming an Expert in BPSD, and Balancing Between Caregiving and Myself. Family caregivers minimized the impact of BPSD and maintained life balance. As a result, they were able to continue a harmonious life with PWD. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.].

韩国家庭照顾者管理痴呆症行为和心理症状的经验:在日常生活中保持和谐。

痴呆症的行为和心理症状(BPSD)是痴呆症的症状，家庭护理人员发现难以管理。管理BPSD的能力因个人家庭照顾者而异。本研究调查了管理BPSD的能力，重点关注那些被认为管理得很好的家庭照顾者。对24名与痴呆症患者(PWD)生活在一起的韩国家庭照顾者(83%为女性，平均年龄= 67岁)进行了访谈。从内容分析中得出四个主题:进入和展望残疾人的世界、与残疾人和谐相处、成为残疾人专家、照顾与自我平衡。家庭照顾者尽量减少BPSD的影响并维持生活平衡。因此，他们能够继续与残疾人士和谐相处。[老年护理研究，xx(x)， xx-xx.]
