| Annotation | The aim of the present paper is to review existing direct observational scales used in residential care settings for older people, to suggest a measure that might target challenging behaviour or a qualitative measurement of ill- or well-being, and to describe the use of this measure in one person with dementia. The following direct observational scales are reviewed: the Shortened Observational Method (SOM) by MacDonald et al (1985); the Quality of Interactive Schedule (QUIS) by Dean et al (1983); Bowie and Mountain's Patient Behaviour Observation Instrument (PBOI) (1983); Sabin's video analogue (1994); Kitwood and Bredin's Dementia Care Mapping (DCM, 1992); and Perrin's Positive Response Schedule (PRS) (1987). The Challenging Behaviour Scale (CBOS) devised has used a combination of these scales. Its scope for assessing ill-being is discussed. (RH). |
