摘要：
Aggressive behaviour is commonly observed in nursing homes for the elderly. It causes distress to carers, and leads to hospitalization, over-medication and physical restraint. Environmental factors can influence aggressive behaviour. A 6-month prospective study was undertaken examining the relationship between aggressive behaviour and environmental characteristics of nursing homes in Melbourne. There was no significant relationship between aggressive behaviour and environmental characteristics of the nursing homes. Methodological issues may explain this lack of association. Avenues of future research are discussed.
