Investigating the Feasibility of Multisensory Environments to Improve the Assisted Bathing Experience for Veterans with Dementia: A Clinical Trial

2022

HERD: Health Environments Research & Design Journal

Journal Article

Issue 2

Volume 15

Pages 180-195

Author(s): Lorusso, L., Bosch, S., Park, N.-K., Shorr, R., Conroy, M., Ahrentzen, S., Freytes, M.

While multisensory environments (MSE) are generally regarded as therapeutic for people with dementia, this study was undertaken to understand the behavioral effects of MSE stimulus during bathing for veterans with dementia. Following the evaluation of MSE use in a bathing room representative of most found in long-term care settings, the study authors concluded that the exhibition of increased positive behaviors and decreased negative behaviors supports a functional relationship between improved bathing responses and multisensory interventions.
