Wandering behaviour in people with dementia

Journal of Advanced Nursing

Author: Lai, C. K. Y., Arthur, D. G.
Year: 2003
Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

Wandering has been described as one of the most challenging behaviours to manage in people with Dementia. This paper reviews the current literature on wandering. It looks at the extent of the problem, the profile of those who wander, and the intervention strategies being employed. The authors concluded that knowledge generated through research remains insufficient to explain fully why and when wandering occurs and suggested that future research should incorporate a clearer definition of wandering; a specific target population; focussed intervention, and better control conditions.
