The objective of this integrated literature review was to identify and examine
effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions towards BPSD. Database
searches were documented following the PRISMA flow diagram and included
papers were judged by the researchers using the SAHTAASS protocol. Coding
of the papers was carried out using Polit and Beck matrix for literature review.
It was concluded that several non-pharmacological interventions showed a
positive influence on BPSD such as stimulating interventions, social and personalized
activities and physical exercise. Also, education/training of healthcare
professionals and equipment in form of a structured BPSD protocol resulted
in decreased BPSD.
