Nursing Practice | Relationship between core symptoms of dementia and BPSD

When a patient with dementia repeatedly asks the same question or refuses care, it can be confusing how to receive and engage. We have organized the differences between core symptoms and BPSD, and specific relationships considering the background of symptoms. Save it so that you can look back at it when practicing or creating a record.

... Read more認知症の中核症状とBPSD(行動・心理症状)は認知症ケアで重要な理解ポイントです。中核症状は記憶障害や見当識障害、判断力の低下などが主で、一方BPSDは不安、抑うつ、幻覚・妄想、同じ質問を繰り返すなどの症状が含まれます。実際の看護実習でこれらの症状に直面した際、私は患者さんの行動の背景にある『なぜ』を考えることで、より適切な対応ができることを学びました。 例えば、患者さんがケアを拒否した時は急かさずに短く説明し、本人の反応を待つことが大切でした。また環境設定にも配慮し、トイレの場所が分かりやすいよう表示を工夫するといった工夫も効果的です。幻覚や妄想に対しては否定や説得を控え、患者さんの不安を受け止める姿勢が求められます。 自身の経験では、同じ質問を繰り返す患者さんには穏やかに何度でも答えることで、安心感を与えられました。症状は環境や体調により変化しやすいため、日々の様子を丁寧に観察し、変化に気づく力も重要です。認知症の多様な症状を理解し、患者さん一人ひとりに合った関わり方を探る姿勢が、質の高い看護実践へ繋がると感じています。 本記事と合わせて、「看護実習ミニ辞典」など専門的資料を活用しながら知識を深め、実習や現場での記録作成に役立ててみてください。理解と関わりの幅が広がることで、認知症患者さんに寄り添う看護がより充実します。
