| Annotation | Baby doll therapy is a nonpharmacologic therapy that can affect agitated behaviour in dementia patients but to date no protocol for the therapy exists. An implementation protocol was developed and implemented with 16 residents in a dementia care centre. Positive outcomes on participant's behaviour included increased levels of happiness, activity/liveliness, interaction with staff and others, and ease of giving care. There was also a reduction in levels of anxiety. (NH). |
