Assessing the Gaps and Needs of Healthcare Professionals Caring for Persons Living with Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia
Gaps in the ability to identify and manage BPSD were prevalent among healthcare professionals surveyed. Gaps suggest that healthcare professionals could benefit from educational programming on BPSD, tailored to their needs. The goal of educational programming should be to increase healthcare professionals' knowledge and confidence in identifying and managing BPSD so that they can help improve the lives of PLWD.
