Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The aim of this pilot study is to test the effect of a flash activity "breath of fresh air" compared to the usual relational care on the short-term decrease (15 min.) of the agitation in hospitalized dementia patients.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
When the caregiver identify a level of agitation greater or equal to two on the gravity score and greater or equal to two on the impact score with the NPI test (The Neuropsychiatric Inventory Test), the caregiver let the patient wandering in the outside lanes of the hospital and encourage him to us his senses. For example, the sight could be stimulated by looking at a bird.
This variation of sensory stimulations enable a temporo-sensory break on the crisis, allowing the patient to turn his attention from the crisis context to another stimulation.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Usual relational care
Isolate the patient from the group of other patients in order to propose to him a a relationship dual with the caregiver to the aim to calm the agitation
Usual relation care
When a patient begins to agitate, he will be isolated from the group to establish a dual relationship where the caregiver will try through his relational approach to calm the agitation.
Flash activity "breath of fresh air"
Isolate the patient from the group of other patients in order to propose to him in a relationship dual with the caregiver a physical activity outside the service that promotes relaxation by focusing his attention to the environment during 15 minutes
Usual relation care
When a patient begins to agitate, he will be isolated from the group to establish a dual relationship where the caregiver will try through his relational approach to calm the agitation.
Flash activity "breath of fresh air"
When a patient begins to agitate , he will be isolated from the group and the patient leave from the unit to walk outside with the caregiver.
