These 10 scores are summed, with final scores ranging from 0 to 20. A higher score indicates greater dysfunction. Any behavior that receives a score of 1 or 2 should be addressed in a new plan of care., 12 week|Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (Agitation), Two groups of elderly patients with moderate and severe dementia in the middle of the study(1. week-6. week-12. week) 'Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory'' the form will be applied.In the CMAE assessment, which is a Likert-type scale, each item scores Decently between "1-never" and "7- several times in an hour".

December December December The score range of the scale is evaluated as "dependent" if it is between 0 and 6 points December, "semi-dependent" if it is between 7 and 12 points December and "independent" if it is between 13 and 18 points december., 12 week
