AB  - OBJECTIVES: There is a lack of local instruments to assess behavioural and 
      psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). This 2-stage cross-sectional study was 
      aimed at validating a Malay translated version of the Neuropsychiaric Inventory 
      (MvNPI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was conducted on a selected group of 138 
      elderly outpatients with dementia and their caregivers in Hospital Pulau Pinang. 
      Severity of dementia was assessed using the Malay-translated version of Mini 
      Mental State Examination (MMSE). The original NPI was translated and then 
      back-translated before it was pilot-tested. The MvNPI was administered twice, a 
      week apart on the same caregiver by the same investigator. RESULTS: The 
      individual items and total scale score of MvNPI had high internal consistency, 
      with Corrected Item-Total Correlation ranging from satisfactory to good (0.41 to 
      0.77). The Cronbach's alpha for all the NPI domains showed high internal 
      consistency (0.83), and subtotal for severity and distress scores were perfect 
      (0.998 to 1.00). There was no significant difference between test-retest mean 
      scores (p>0.05) and their correlations were perfect (0.996 to 1.00). Content 
      validity indicated mild and inverse relationship between MMSE scores and 
      severity, and distress score (-0.281 and -0.268, respectively, with p<0.001). 
      Discriminant validity calculated using Mann-Whitney U test was found to be 
      significant (p<0.001) in differentiating severity of cognitive impairment. Factor 
      analysis revealed four possible components existed in MvNPI. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      MvNPI is a valid and reliable tool for assessing BPSD among Malay speaking 
      populations of Malaysia and its neighbouring South East Asian countries.
