Abstract

In this paper, published research studies addressing the phenomenon of wandering in dementia are reviewed. Empirical findings of 108 studies are categorized and summarized to reveal dimensions of wandering behavior, significance of wandering as a clinical phenomenon, correlates of wandering, and tested intervention strategies. Implications for improving methodological rigor of future studies are offered and gaps in the current knowledge base are identified.
