INTRODUCTION: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are
defined as a group of symptoms of disturbed perceptive thought content, mood, or
behavior that include agitation, depression, apathy, repetitive questioning,
psychosis, aggression, sleep problems, and wandering. Care of patients with BPSD
involves pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. We reviewed
studies of nonpharmacological interventions published in the last 10 years.
METHODS: We performed a systematic review in Medline and Embase databases, in the
last 10 years, until June 2015. Key words used were (1) non-pharmacological
interventions, (2) behavioral symptoms, (3) psychological symptoms, and (4)
dementia. RESULTS: We included 20 studies published in this period. Among these
studies, program activities were more frequent (five studies) and the symptoms
more responsive to the interventions were agitation. DISCUSSION: Studies are
heterogeneous in many aspects, including size sample, intervention, and
instruments of measures. CONCLUSION: Nonpharmacological interventions are able to
provide positive results in reducing symptoms of BPSD. Most studies have shown
that these interventions have important and significant efficacy.
