Abstract

The number of patients with Dementia (PwD) admitted to acute care hospitals is increasing worldwide. Prolonged hospital stays are associated with a deterioration in cognitive, functional, and physiological status (Mathews, Arnold, & Epperson, 2014). Dementia is a disease that causes cognitive deterioration leading to a decrease in the stress threshold, and a decreased ability to comprehend verbal language (Wall & Duffy, 2010).
