“…One of the most frequently occurring BPSD, filthy behavior can include dirtying the area with urine or faeces, and may result in foul odours. A field survey of staff working in acute wards regarding odours in wards found that the smell of urine and faeces was considered the most unpleasant odour; nurses were more bothered by those smells than were other ward staff [47]. Filthy behavior is the most frequently occurring BPSD in psychiatric dementia wards patients; therefore, PDNs may suffer more odour-related stress than nurses on other wards, which may affect their irritability level.…”

In this study, with the aim of obtaining basic data for proposing odor countermeasures suitable for each department, we examined odor characteristics by patient characteristics using data from a questionnaire survey on odors conducted in hospitals nationwide. As a result, it was found that the timing of odor generation and the type of odor differ depending on patient characteristics, and that in addition to excretory odors generated at specific times, body odor and halitosis, which are always perceived, have an impact on the odor environment.In addition, patient characteristics of each department were identified.
