Dementia | Dealing With Challenging Behavior

This is an online CPD Dementia, Dealing With Challenging Behaviour course...
People with dementia may sometimes behave in a challenging way, for example aggression or shouting out. This can be very distressing. By understanding what may cause this type of behaviour and learning how to deal with it, you make sure it happens less often and that you feel able to manage when it does.

There are number of reasons why a person with dementia may act aggressively, and it is important to recognise that being in hospital environment can make this behaviour worse.

Recognising these reasons and providing person-centred care can very often begin to alleviate behaviour. Reasons may include:

• An unfamiliar environment and people, changes in care practice and the stress of hospitalisation, along with an inability to articulate this.
• An expression of unmet need, for example pain, dehydration or boredom.
• Feeling frightened or humiliated.
• Feeling frustrated at being unable to understand others or make themselves understood.
• The physical effects of dementia, which may have eroded their judgement and self-control.
• Loss of inhibitions and decreased awareness of rules about appropriate behaviour learned in early childhood
