The Relationship between Vision Impairment and the Assessment of Disruptive Behaviors among Nursing Home Residents.

Horowitz, Amy

Gerontologist, v37 n5 p620-28 Oct 1997

Drawing on nursing home records, examines the relationship between vision impairment and disruptive behaviors among nursing home residents (N=89). Results indicate that vision status is a significant independent contributor to disruptive behaviors among long-term care residents. Findings show vision to be an important comorbid impairment in understanding disruptive behaviors. (RJM)
