The nursing literature states that reminiscence is an independent nursing intervention for elderly clients and patients. This paper is about the use of reminiscence by nurses in all settings. Nurses have not to date built a firm knowledge base. The paper discusses the need for knowledge about the phenomenon and life review versus reminiscence. The uses of reminiscence therapy in one-to-one interaction, in the group modality, and as a research tool are all important applications of the concept. In contrast to other disciplines, reminiscence therapy, as studied by nurses, focuses on interventions. Reminiscence is a fascinating, elusive, and complex phenomenon, but although nursing textbooks tout its usefulness, the research findings are less optimistic.
护理文献表明，回忆疗法是针对老年客户和患者的一种独立护理干预措施。本文探讨了护士在各种环境中运用回忆疗法的情况。到目前为止，护士尚未建立起坚实的知识基础。本文讨论了了解这一现象以及生活回顾与回忆疗法之间差异的必要性。回忆疗法在一对一互动、团体模式以及作为一种研究工具方面的应用都是该概念的重要应用。与其他学科不同，护士所研究的回忆疗法侧重于干预措施。回忆是一种引人入胜、难以捉摸且复杂的现象，尽管护理教科书称赞其有用性，但研究结果却不那么乐观。
