The presence and severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms and their association with quality of life among patients with dementia
CONCLUSION: The study's results indicate that our sample reported mild neuropsychiatric symptoms. These symptoms' high prevalence and persistence negatively impact patients' quality of life. The study's results can help mental health nurses determine the factors impacting effective treatment strategies to combat these symptoms. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to help explain the importance of early diagnosis and management of these symptoms in preventing dementia progression.PMID:37665567 | DOI:10.1080/13546805.2023.2255342 (Source: Cognitive Neuropsychiatry)
