This quantitative study examined the nature of the relationship between duration of hospitalization and frequency of assaultive behavior in 42 elderly, long-term dementia patients within a Canadian psychiatric hospital. The study also examined the relationship between stage of dementia and the frequency of assaultive behavior. Incident report forms and clinical progress notes routinely completed in any of the regional psychiatric hospitals were used to collect data. Results indicated a significant negative correlation between the number of assaults committed and the number of months spent in the hospital by the respective patients. Significantly fewer assaults occurred during the 2nd year of hospitalization than during the 1st year. Additionally, significantly more assaults occurred in Stage 6 of dementia than in Stage 7. Male patients were observed to be significantly more assaultive than female patients, and patients with vascular dementia committed slightly, but not significantly, more assaults than those affected by other types of dementia.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This quantitative study examined the nature of the relationship between duration of hospitalization and frequency of assaultive behavior in 42 elderly, long-term dementia patients within a Canadian psychiatric hospital. The study also examined the relationship between stage of dementia and the frequency of assaultive behavior. Incident report forms and clinical progress notes routinely completed in any of the regional psychiatric hospitals were used to collect data. Results indicated a significant negative correlation between the number of assaults committed and the number of months spent in the hospital by the respective patients. Significantly fewer assaults occurred during the 2nd year of hospitalization than during the 1st year. Additionally, significantly more assaults occurred in Stage 6 of dementia than in Stage 7. Male patients were observed to be significantly more assaultive than female patients, and patients with vascular dementia committed slightly, but not significantly, more assaults than those affected by other types of dementia.
520 $a The findings demonstrate that persons with dementia who are hospitalized due to assaultive behavior receive the most benefit of hospitalization within the first 2 years of inpatient treatment. Conversely, there is little benefit to inpatient treatment for assaultive behavior among those with dementia beyond Stage 6 of the illness; those within this population who are no longer assaultive may be more appropriately cared for in nursing homes. Findings suggest that resources should be allocated to assist with the transition of formerly assaultive individuals with dementia from a psychiatric hospital to a nursing home. This scenario forecasts the development of a challenging new role for nurses.
