Abstract :
This exploratory study was conducted to determine the effects of use of dolls as a therapeutic intervention with geriatric inpatients. The sample included 115 patients, 29 of whom had an order for prn Haldol. Among patients who had previous negative behaviors, there was a lower average number of prn Haldol doses with those who had dolls. Recommendations for practice and future research are included.
