Abstract

Elderly with behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPSD) have increased in nursing homes. For current research, 7 patients with BPSD treated by music therapy sessions for 3 months were evaluated using BPSD25 Questionnaire (BPSD25Q). Furthermore, Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) was conducted by health care staff who take care of each patient. As a result, four items showed decreased values of both BPSD and IES-R, which are wandering/restlessness, going out without permission, reversal of day and night, and unclean behavior. BPSD for patients and IES-R for staff showed the improvement values as 7.28 to 7.0, and 7.14 to 7.0, respectively.
