| Popis: | Resistance to care is among the most common behaviors exhibited by persons with dementia (PwD). Resistance to care is a barrier to safety and comfort of PwD and caregivers. Nonpharmacological interventions are recommended as first-line management. In the current study, 13 long-term care (LTC) residents aged 74 to 100 years with a history of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) were randomized to intervention ( n = 7) and control ( n = 6) groups. On Days 1 to 3, the intervention group received usual care plus exposure to MindfulGarden (MG), a novel digital calming device during morning and evening care, activities widely recognized as problematic for PwD and staff; the control group received usual care only. On Day 4, both groups were exposed to MG with verbal prompting. Trends in the data suggest that MG reduced BPSD and duration of care in the morning and may be a useful tool in management of resistance to routine care in PwD in LTC settings.
