An analysis of community-based nonpharmacological treatments for the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, as alternatives to antipsychotic medication in aging populations around the world
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background : Due to global population aging, dementia impacts millions worldwide, and costs billions of dollars annually (2). The adverse events associated with antipsychotic medications, commonly used to manage the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), are not negligible and non-pharmacological interventions must be explored (3). Objective/Methods : This scoping review answers: What are the recent trends in different countries of community- based nonpharmacological interventions as alternatives to antipsychotic medication for BPSD, and what is efficacy of these treatments? CINAHL and OVID were searched, and the articles were analyzed Results : Four studies use artistic interventions (5,6,7,8), four use technological interventions (9,10,11,12), and three focus on education and behavior change (13,14,15). Analysis : A SWOT analysis indicates variable sample populations, countries of origin, interventions and efficacy within these studies. Conclusion : It is necessary to prioritize research on community-based nonpharmacological interventions for BPSD that promote international collaboration, utilize more diverse populations, and that are promising for use in low-resource settings.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
