Research Abstract

Agitated behaviors are frequently observed in patients with dementia and can cause severe distress to caregivers. However, little evidence of the efficacy of nonpharmacological interventions for agitated behaviors exists in patients with dementia. The present pilot study aimed to evaluate the behavioral management technique (BMT) program developed by the Seattle Protocols for patients with agitated behaviors in Japan. Eighteen patients with dementia (Alzheimer’s disease, n = 14; dementia with Lewy bodies, n = 4) participated in an open study testing the effectiveness of the BMT program. The intervention consisted of 20 sessions over the course of three months. The primary outcomes were severity of agitation in dementia as measured using the Agitated Behavior in Dementia scale (ABID) and the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI). The BMT program resulted in significant reductions in the total scores of both the ABID and CMAI. Although both the physically agitated behavior scores and the verbally agitated behavior scores of the ABID improved significantly, the psychosis symptoms did not improve after intervention. The BMT program is likely to be beneficial to caregivers suffering from distress as a result of agitated behaviors. In the future, a well-designed study to develop the BMT program more fully is needed.
