Abstract

Problems with sensory processing may have an impact on the behavioral and psychological symptoms that can be seen in Alzheimer's patients. Examining the relationship between the two factors may provide a new perspective for the management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. Mid-stage Alzheimer's patients completed the Neuropsychiatric Inventory and Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile. The relationship between behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia and sensory processing was investigated. Sixty individuals with a mean age of 75.35 (7.86) years and diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dementia 6.6 (2.92) years ago participated in the study. Individuals with severe behavioral and psychological symptoms had higher scores than individuals with moderate behavioral and psychological symptoms in low registration and sensory sensitivity quadrants . A relationship was found between sensory processing and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in mid-stage Alzheimer's patients. This study highlighted the sensory processing differences in patients with Alzheimer's dementia. In future studies, interventions for sensory processing skills may play a role in improving the quality of life of individuals by contributing to the management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.

痴呆的行为和心理症状与感觉处理有关吗？

感觉处理的问题可能会影响阿尔茨海默病患者的行为和心理症状。研究这两个因素之间的关系可能为痴呆症的行为和心理症状的管理提供新的视角。中期阿尔茨海默病患者完成了神经精神量表和青少年/成人感觉档案。探讨痴呆的行为和心理症状与感觉加工的关系。60名平均年龄为75.35（7.86）岁，在6.6（2.92）年前被诊断患有阿尔茨海默氏症的人参加了这项研究。行为和心理症状严重的个体在低登记象限和感觉敏感象限的得分高于行为和心理症状中度的个体。发现中期阿尔茨海默病患者的感觉加工与痴呆的行为和心理症状之间存在关系。这项研究强调了阿尔茨海默氏痴呆症患者的感觉处理差异。在未来的研究中，对感觉处理技能的干预可能通过有助于痴呆的行为和心理症状的管理，在改善个人生活质量方面发挥作用。
