Abstract

PURPOSE: Untreated pain in people living with dementia (PLWD) results in negative patient outcomes: aggression, depression, and sleep disturbances. Gaps exist for understanding family caregiver pain assessment for PLWD. In this survey development study, we aimed to develop questions to measure the frequency with which family caregivers of PLWD use elements of pain assessment and sought to establish the content and face validity of these questions. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained.
