Title
Delirium and mental health history as predictors of aggression in individuals with dementia in inpatient settings.
Authors

Abstract

Aggressive behaviors by patients with dementia present risk to health care workers and patients. An information processing model, developed to study aggressive behaviors among children, was applied to study aggression among older hospital patients with dementia. Hypotheses were that delirium and mental health or depression history, would relate to increased risk of aggressive behaviors.
