PANSiS -Positive & Negative Signs Scale

The PANSiS is a quick observer measure of the signs of wellbeing and illbeing that are shown by people with dementia day to day. You can track changes over time. It helps you to measure and focus on both positive and negative indicators, usually we can miss the signals that a person may be lacking positive experiences, not just displaying negative indicators of distress. Positive experiences can help to decrease the frequency and severity of distress.
