This study tested the effects of a 4-week, nine-session group intervention taught in Spanish to Hispanic older adults entitled "Quieres Mejorar Tu Memoria" (Do you wish to improve your memory?). The program was based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory and was designed to increase memory self-efficacy and strategy use. A total of 33 older adults attending a senior center (mean--age = 69 years; education = 5 years; MMSE = 25) participated in the study. A booster session and a post-test were given at 3 months to the intervention group (n=22). At posttest the intervention reported greater confidence in preventing decline in their memories, and in particular greater use of the internal strategy of elaboration (2.99 vs. 3.41), and the external strategies of list (2.55 vs. 3.38) and note (3.27 vs. 3.75).
本研究测试了一项为期4周、共九节课程的小组干预措施的效果,该干预措施用西班牙语教授给西班牙裔老年人,名为“Quieres Mejorar Tu Memoria”(你希望改善你的记忆力吗?)。该项目基于班杜拉的自我效能理论,旨在提高记忆自我效能和策略运用。共有33名在老年中心活动的老年人(平均年龄 = 69岁;受教育年限 = 5年;简易精神状态检查表得分 = 25)参与了该研究。对干预组(n = 22)在3个月时进行了强化课程和后测。在后测中,干预组表示在预防记忆力衰退方面更有信心,特别是在更多地使用精细化内部策略(2.99对3.41)、列清单外部策略(2.55对3.38)和做笔记外部策略(3.27对3.75)方面。
