Brief Summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Systematic Unmet Needs Assessment and Management (SUNAM) Protocol, an algorithm-based intervention developed from the unmet needs theory of BPSD, in reducing Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) among institutionalized residents. Both the experimental and control groups received 100 minutes of BPSD foundational education and 100 minutes of VR simulation training. The experimental group received an additional 150 minutes of SUNAM protocol training. The study aims to determine whether integrating SUNAM into caregiver training enhances BPSD assessment, management, and reduction by addressing unmet needs.
