AIM: Can we identify modifiable risk factors for @entity298 in @entity1 undergoing @entity298 ( @entity298 )? We aimed to determine whether housing standard, @entity298 exchange technique or @entity1 motivation might be modifiable risks for @entity298 . We also explored the relationship between lack of motivation and @entity308 . METHODS: Nurse home visits assessed @entity298 exchange technique, environment and @entity1 motivation. Motivation scores were correlated separately with an Apathy Evaluation Score and a @entity308 score using PHQ-9 questionnaires. RESULTS: Home hygiene, exchange technique and motivation were above average in 53%, 56% and 60%, respectively in 104 @entity1 undergoing @entity298 . After 15 months, 25.9% @entity1 developed @entity298 but nurses' ratings of homes and exchange techniques were not predictive. Low @entity1 motivation was predictive. @entity1 rated to have above or below median motivation had significantly different Apathy Scores (p   =   0.0002). Unmotivated @entity308 @entity1 were significantly more likely to develop @entity298 compared to motivated @entity308 @entity1 . CONCLUSION: Lack of motivation predicted @entity298 particularly if associated with @entity308 . Further studies are required focusing on specific motivation scoring schemes and the psychosocial support that might lead to better outcomes.
