Improving the appropriateness of psychotropic prescribing for nursing home residents with dementia: an overview of reviews.

Objectives: Psychotropic medications are commonly inappropriately prescribed for people with dementia (PwD) residing in nursing homes. This population is often multi-morbid, receiving multiple medications and therefore at an increased risk of mortality. This overview aimed to collate all synthesised quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method evidence pertaining to the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing inappropriate psychotropic prescribing for nursing home residents with dementia; the perceived barriers and facilitators to the implementation of these interventions; and the attitudes and experiences of stakeholders toward prescribing.
