AB  - Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are sources of 
      psychological distress for caregivers who take care of people with dementia. The 
      purpose of this study was to examine the association between BPSD and the burden 
      on formal caregivers of nursing homes in South Korea. Results showed that the 
      total severity score of BPSD had a statistically significant positive correlation 
      with the total distress score. Agitation/Aggression was the most distressing 
      symptom for registered nurses and care workers. These findings suggest that there 
      is a need for improved treatments for BPSD, to help mitigate its burden on formal 
      caregivers.
