    Abstract

    The Checklist for Evidence of Person-Centered Care Approaches for Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Distress (BPSD) in Care Plans was developed to assess the person-centeredness of care plans for nursing home residents living with behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of a revised version of the Checklist. Data from a larger randomized clinical trial testing the implementation of the Evidence of Integration Triangle for BPSD were used. One hundred seventy-nine care plans for 103 residents were examined. Descriptive statistics, Rasch analysis, and inter-rater reliability were used. The Checklist demonstrated evidence of inter-rater reliability and validity based on model fit and acceptable INFIT and OUTFIT statistics. This study serves as pilot work for future Checklist use and validation efforts on a larger scale. Findings encourage a discourse on the inclusion of BPSD and person-centered approaches in care plans for those living with dementia. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 15(6), 303–311.]
