BACKGROUND/AIMS: Are the noncognitive factors of self-reported mood and personality related to sustained attention in nursing home residents with dementia during an activity intervention?
Intervention data from a randomized clinical trial were used to address the aim of this project. Subjects were 128 nursing home residents who were assessed for mood, personality, behavioral indicators of attention, time on task and number of disengagements during an activity intervention.
More positive self-reported mood was associated with greater behavioral displays of attention during activities, greater time spent engaged in the activities and less disengagement.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to report on the association of mood, personality and sustained attention in nursing home residents with dementia. While the findings are preliminary, they can be used to inform the design of future research.
背景/目的：在养老院痴呆患者的活动干预中，自我报告的情绪和人格等非认知因素是否与持续性注意力有关？
本项目使用随机临床试验的干预数据来解决这一目标。研究对象为 128 名养老院痴呆患者，他们在活动干预期间接受了情绪、人格、注意力行为指标、任务时间和脱岗次数的评估。
更积极的自我报告情绪与活动中注意力的行为表现更相关，完成活动的时间更长，脱岗次数更少。
据我们所知，这是第一项报告养老院痴呆患者情绪、人格和持续性注意力之间关联的研究。虽然这些发现尚属初步，但可以为未来的研究提供信息。
