Change in mood and behavioral problems in LTCF residents during the visitor ban due to COVID-19, as compared with before the visitor ban. Change in frequency of residents' mood symptoms is reported from the perspective of relatives who have spoken to the resident in the 4 weeks before the assessment (n = 1387). Change in severity of residents' behavioral problems is reported by direct care staff (n = 623) and was responded on a unit level. Responses from those who indicated specific mood or behavior were not present or who did not know, were not taken into account.
