We explored the characteristics of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in community-dwelling persons at the first time of dementia diagnosis and identified their associated variables. Methods: A cross-sectional study using secondary data of dementia diagnosis tests was conducted. Data were reported by professional nurses and clinicians from 355 persons at the first time of dementia diagnosis in South Korea. BPSD and their associated variables were measured with the Neuropsychiatric Inventory, the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer\u2019s Disease (CERAD-K) assessment handbook and electronic medical records. Results: The most common symptoms were apathy\/indifference (72.1%), followed by irritability\/lability (42.8%) and depression\/dysphoria (42.0%). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that the strongest factor associated with BPSD was dementia type (\u03b2 = \u22120.18, p = 0.001) mostly severer in frontotemporal dementia, followed by activities of daily living dependency (\u03b2 = 0.15, p = 0.033), and number of medications (\u03b2 = 0.10, p = 0.048). Conclusion: Providing information based on the study findings to families who are caring for persons at potential risk of dementia, may be able to detect dementia symptoms early and manage appropriate care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19137765","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,26]],"date-time":"2022-06-26T09:00:13Z","timestamp":1656234013000},"page":"7765","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms and Associated Factors in Community-Dwelling Persons at the First Time of Dementia Diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5952-3373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gijung","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1483-0633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jia","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing Science, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"National Institute of Dementia (2022, March 22).
