The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a reminiscence group to increase ego integrity in elderly nursing home residents. Erickson's developmental theory and Butler's theory of reminiscence provided the theoretical framework for the study. It was hypothesized that reminiscing would increase life satisfaction, self-esteem, and decrease depression. Fifty-four nursing home residents were randomly assigned to a reminiscence group or a control group. No statistically significant relationship was found between reminiscing and life satisfaction, depression, or self-esteem; however, results indicated there was a positive socializing effect for those who participated in the group process.
本研究的目的是调查回忆小组对提高老年疗养院居民自我完善感的疗效。埃里克森的发展理论和巴特勒的回忆理论为该研究提供了理论框架。研究假设是，回忆能提高生活满意度、自尊并减轻抑郁。54名疗养院居民被随机分配到回忆小组或对照组。在回忆与生活满意度、抑郁或自尊之间未发现统计学上的显著关系；然而，结果表明，参与小组活动的人有积极的社交效果。
