| Abstract |
The aim of the current study was to explore why some individuals with dementia and agitated behavior showed limited response to a personalized intervention. Ten consistently agitated individuals (i.e., non-responders) were compared with 34 individuals who were more settled during the intervention (i.e., responders). Most participants suffered from severe cognitive deficits; however, non-responders were more impaired. Where responders showed large improvements across conditions, agitated behavior remained equally high in non-responders. Responders and non-responders showed increased interest and engagement during the intervention. Increased agitated behavior was associated with severe cognitive impairment. Although studies have shown that psychosocial interventions can reduce agitated behavior, there does seem to be a point where it becomes more difficult to reduce this behavior. However, non-responders still displayed interest, and the authors believe further personalization of the intervention is possible. Therefore, severe dementia and agitated behavior should not exclude individuals from psychosocial interventions; however, a more detailed and timely implementation plan of such treatments may be warranted.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 April 2016.
All research outputs
#17,289,387
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Gerontological Nursing
#553
of 922 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#161,017
of 268,073 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Gerontological Nursing
#8
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 922 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,073 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
