Overview: Verbal and physical aggressive behaviors are among the most disturbing and distressing behaviors displayed by older patients in long-term care facilities. Aggressive behavior (AB) is often the reason for using physical or chemical restraints with nursing home residents and is a major concern for caregivers. AB is associated with increased health care costs due to staff turnover and absenteeism. The goals of this analysis of a cross-sectional study are to determine the prevalence of verbal and physical aggressive behaviors and to identify associated factors among older adults in long-term care facilities in the Quebec City area (n = 2 332).
