“…In addition, the conceptual scheme of self-efficacy-which pertains to specific judgements that one can successfully carry out certain behaviours in a given situation [17]-is important to explore in relation to experimental interventions for caregiver behaviours in dementia care dyads. The perspective offered by behavioural medicine, [18] including the processes guided by the functional behaviour analysis (FBA) of problematic behaviour, [19] might be useful in mapping problems and tailoring interventions directed to both people with dementia and caregivers.…”

Background: Impaired mobility in people with severe dementia is well known. Physical therapists play a key role in guiding professional caregivers on how to handle mobility and transfer-related problems; however, it is unknown how to handle the complexity of dementia-related impaired endurance, joint dysfunction, balance, and gait dysfunction and at the same time, take into consideration the person's decreased cognition, communication deficits, and behaviour problems. Aims and methods: The aim was to explore the effectiveness and efficiency of functional behaviour analysis (FBA) guided interventions of dyadic transfer-related behaviour in dementia care dyads. An experimental single-case research design was used. Two care dyads participated. Different methods of assessment were performed to gather the dyadic transfer-related behavioural problems. Transfers were recorded by video uptakes and to generate a hypothesis about dyadic transfer-related behavioural problems, the Dyadic Interaction in Dementia Transfer Assessment Scale (DIDTAS) was used. Results: The problematic transfer-related behaviour in care dyad 1 changed positively, as reflected by a decrease in discomfort verbally expressed by the person with dementia. A trend towards increased cooperation was observed among caregivers assisting in the transfer situation. In care dyad 2, a trend towards increased caregiver self-efficacy (SE) was observed between the baseline and completed intervention phases. The decreased resistiveness to care (RTC) exhibited by the person with dementia paralleled the increase in caregiver SE. Conclusion: Considering the findings of this explorative study, physical therapists could consider the development of tailored interventions guided by an FBA for complex dyadic transfer-related behavioural problems in dementia care dyads.

“…In 1978, the Society of Behavioral Medicine was founded 2 , which brought together professionals from the biomedical, social, and behavioral sciences. In 1982 as part of these national changes, faculty in the Department of Psychology at San Diego State University (SDSU) established the Center for Behavioral Medicine (CBM) to promote research and academic programs relevant to the applications of behavioral science principles in medicine and health care.…”

Background The Institute for Behavioral and Community Health (IBACH) is a transdisciplinary organization with a team-oriented approach to the translation of research to practice and policy within the context of behavioral medicine. Objectives This paper tracks the growth of IBACH — in the context of evolving multi-university transdisciplinary research efforts — from a behavioral medicine research focus to community approaches to disease prevention and control, ultimately specializing in Latino health research and practice. We describe how this growth was informed by our partnerships with community members and organizations, and training a diverse array of students and young professionals. Methods Since 1982, IBACH’s research has evolved to address a greater breadth of factors associated with health and well-being. This was driven by our strong community focus and emphasis on collaborations, the diversity of our investigative teams, and our emphasis on training. Although behavioral science still forms the core of IBACH’s scientific orientation, research efforts extend beyond those traditionally examined. Conclusions IBACH’s “team science” successes have been fueled by a specific population emphasis making IBACH one of the nation’s leaders in Latino health behavior research.

“…These fields were formed to bring the scientific contributions of psychology and behavioral science to the promotion and maintenance of health and apply their techniques and knowledge to illness prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. 2,3 Some of the important contributions from these fields include providing strategies to motivate health-related behavior change (e.g., in smoking, substance use, eating, and exercise), explicating the role of the doctor-patient relationship in treatment adherence, and developing effective interventions for coping with chronic and life-threatening illness and preventing practitioner burnout. [4][5][6] As such, the necessity of including behavioral and social science training in medical school curricula is also increasingly recognized.…”
