Based on the results of the previous study on prevention of falls among dementia ward residents in intermediate welfare facility, it was hypothesized that residents falls correlated to their physical aggression. If becoming physically aggressive was reduced by giving effective intervention, the number of falls could be lowered. Thus, the purpose of this study was to verify this hypothesis. Word staff performed the three behavioral treatments as an intervention which possibly reduced the frequency of elderly with dementia. Thirty-two residents were available for this study. Six months were taken to prepare for giving the intervention. Then, the intervention was performed for six months. The numbers of falls, witnessed cases of physical aggression were compared. As a result, the falls and witnessed cases of physical aggression were significantly reduced after implementation of intervention (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p<0.05). The hypothesis was confirmed that the number of falls can be lowered by preventing residents from becoming physically aggressive.
