Improving Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia with Activity-Based Practice Using the Assessment of Quality of Activities Tool: A Case Study

Introduction: Interventions using meaningful activities based on a client's interests and roles improve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). However, as dementia progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify meaningful activities. In this study, we report the effectiveness of activity-based practices using the Assessment of Quality of Activities (A-QOA) in a client with severe dementia.
