For two years, Germaine centenary in institutions hosting the frail elderly (nursing homes) without pain and cries for no reason. How can I make? Reference texts do not provide an answer. We surveyed caregivers - doctors coordinators, nurse coordinators - EHPAD. The resident crier is a reality, 5% of seniors living in institutions. This disorder of verbal behavior is not isolated. It comes to the topic Crier physical disorders - agitation, falls, insomnia. And more it will impact the structure and its environment: non-criers residents, families, caregivers, neighbors.

The ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence and justice are then undermined. The cry is to rebel psychotropic but softens in linking. The main role of caregivers taking care topics criers is to maintain a link human interconstantly questioned.
