AnnotationA clinical research project tested the efficacy of a Solution-Focused Approach for addressing the problem behaviours of nursing home residents with dementia. A total of 84 family members and nurses' aides participated in a controlled study of 21 residents who were aggressive and/or wandered. A repeated measures analysis of variance indicated that family members perceived behaviours as less problematic than did nurses' aides, and that family members and nurses' aides perceived diminished problems in behaviour over time. Suggestions for practice and future research are included. (AKM).
