   Abstract : This thesis based on five studies conducted within community care sought to I) study demanding symptoms and behaviour in persons > 65 years in home care or sheltered housing and work load from a staff perspective over a decade, II) study caregiver reflections when dealing with Behavioural and Psychiatric Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD), III) illuminate interactions between individuals with BPSD and caregivers who reported problems dealing with such behaviour and caregivers who did not, IV) obtain insight into their reasoning from their respective interactions with the residents. A further aim was to discuss their reasoning in relation to each other and V) describe documented experiences from giving tactile stimulation to five randomly selected residents with BPSD and changes seen in these persons during the intervention period.
