✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Objective

The purpose of this study was to develop a Korean version of the behavior rating scale for dementia (BRSD‐K) for evaluating behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.

Methods

The BRSD‐K was administered to the informants of 268 subjects with dementia. Internal, inter‐rater and test–retest reliabilities were tested. To evaluate construct validity, exploratory factor analysis was performed. To evaluate concurrent validity, Pearson correlation coefficients between BRSD‐K scores and the corresponding scores of the Korean version of the neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI‐K) were calculated.

Results

BRSD‐K demonstrated substantially high levels of reliabilities. Factor analysis identified seven factors, i.e. depressive symptoms, irritability/aggression, psychotic symptoms, behavioral dysregulations, sleep disturbance, inertia, and appetite. Correlations between BRSD‐K and corresponding NPI‐K scores were statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

BRSD‐K was found to be a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating BPSD. Copyright Β© 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
