The GHQ scores correlated significantly with duration of care; presence of delusion, hallucination, depression, insomnia, incontinence and agitation; and the total score of the Behavioural Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale. On multiple regression analysis the only variables to achieve a significant relationship with the GHQ scores were duration of care, depression and the total behavioural score. | Source Title: | International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/134034 | ISSN: | 08856230 | DOI: | 10.1002/(SICI)1099-1166(199704)12:43.0.CO;2-U |
