Abstract:
Multifactorial etiology of behavioral symptoms (BS) and unsettled relationships (UR) in long-term care facility (LTCF) residents, who are characterized by comorbidity of somatic and mental diseases, makes the treatment process particularly difficult. The main goal of this study was to analyze a line of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of clinically complex LTCF residents presenting BS and UR.
