In caring for an elderly patient with dementia, this article illustrates the nursing experience of repeated self-injury behaviors due to depression, negative thinking and anxiety. During the period of care from July 24, 2017 to August 23, 2017, the Suicidal Ideation Assessment Scale, the Anxiety Assessment Scale, the Bayesian Depression Scale, and the Psychiatric Five-Level Global Assessment were collected. The questions were: (1) High risk of violent aggression against oneself / related to depression; (2) Anxiety/related to worry about sleep; and (3) The individual's ability to respond to disorders related to the lack of appropriate response skills. Accordingly, the author used behavioral therapy to help correct the occurrence of misbehaviors, reduce negative thoughts and behaviors of self-injury, and at the same time, gain trust by establishing good therapeutic communication skills in taking care of the patient by listening, empathizing with his feelings and providing companionship while teaching him from this. For this case, teaching relaxation methods could alleviate anxiety and assist in development of positive thinking to improve his ability to respond to the cause of the problem.
