Temporal patterns of negative and positive behavior among nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease
Article Abstract:
Clinical examinations suggest a late-day peak in disruptive behavior in persons with dementia and results from research of temporal patterns of behavior are equivocal. People with Alzheimer's disease (AD) were also tested, and research found small statistically significant diurnal variation in both negative and positive behavior characterized by a curvilinear pattern with a single peak.
