To assess for cognitive status and disruptive behavior patterns, we collected a cognitive screen, history of presenting illness, and measures of behavior problems prior to the intervention. The intervention included 32 weekly 1-hour sessions with the patient, 1-hour sessions with the patient's assigned caregiver and regular interactions with the patient's family and medical treatment team. All sessions were conducted at the patient's long-term residential care facility. We assessed behavior disturbances with the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI). We assessed functional abilities with the Katz Activities of Daily Living (K-ADL), and assessed cognitive function with the Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE). At the closing session (week 32) caregiver ratings indicated significantly reduced scores on the CMAI (Baseline = 75 to Endpoint = 30) and maintenance in ADLs (Baseline=3 to Endpoint=3). Caregivers reported enhanced efficacy in treating behaviors and improvement in their relationship with the patient. Results demonstrate the benefits of a multi-component collaborative intervention, based on an enhanced environment and behavioral approach, in treating behavior problems related to DLB.</p>","PeriodicalId":87367,"journal":{"name":"The annals of long-term care : the official journal of the American Medical Directors Association","volume":"16 11","pages":"17-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3222095/pdf/nihms123303.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30281355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
