This study describes a clinical trial of at-home recreational therapy for community dwelling older adults with dementia and disturbing behaviors. After two weeks of daily, individualized recreational therapy interventions (TRIs), results indicated a significant decrease in levels of both passivity and agitation. Biograph data collection was useful in identifying the physiological changes that occurred with each intervention technique. Specific information is included on the time of day each behavior occurred and the most effective interventions, as well as implications for service delivery.
本研究描述了一项针对患有痴呆症且有干扰行为的社区居家老年人的家庭娱乐疗法临床试验。在进行了为期两周的每日个性化娱乐疗法干预(TRIs)后,结果表明被动性和激越程度均显著降低。生物记录数据收集有助于识别每种干预技术所伴随的生理变化。其中包含了每种行为发生的具体时间、最有效的干预措施等详细信息,以及对服务提供的启示。
