Abstract
BPSD (Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia) have been generally considered as problematic behaviors. In this paper we intended to provide a new view point by analyzing cultivated care experiences of care-providers (nurses and care workers) in nursing facilities. The results are that BPSD include two basic concepts and their composition as` threatened peace of mind and body of people with dementia' and 'threatened peace of their environment and surrounding people'. In addition, a repression against BPSD and BPSD itself such as an anxiety, works as "the catalyst" and causes "the resonance of BPSD" in the facilities. And the desirable outcome of BPSD was constituted two factors such as 'people with dementia and surrounding people can lead a peaceful life in facilities' and 'minimize BPSD, and all confusions are settled'. This new prospective concept of BPSD care in which peace is a key concept, would be helpful for developing dementia care with consideration of the human rights of people with dementia and normalization.
