Few clinicians have an educational grounding in the use of nonpharmacological therapies for people with dementia. In this article, we explore the utility of recreational activities as one nonpharmacological intervention that has demonstrated effectiveness for reducing the behavioural symptoms of dementia. The implementation of effective recreational activities involves three components: understanding the evidence for this approach; acknowledging the need to reduce medications that have the potential to interfere with activity effectiveness; and individualizing activities so that the maximum benefit from the intervention is obtained.
很少有临床医生接受过针对痴呆症患者使用非药物疗法的教育。在本文中，我们探讨了娱乐活动作为一种非药物干预措施的效用，这种干预措施已被证明在减轻痴呆症行为症状方面有效。有效开展娱乐活动涉及三个方面：了解这种方法的证据；认识到需要减少可能干扰活动效果的药物；以及使活动个性化，以便从干预中获得最大益处。
