BACKGROUND/AIM: Two studies assessed the effectiveness of video prompting as a strategy to support persons with mild and moderate Alzheimer's disease in performing daily activities.
In study I, video prompting was compared to an existing strategy relying on verbal instructions. In study II, video prompting was compared to another existing strategy relying on static pictorial cues. Video prompting and the other strategies were counterbalanced across tasks and participants and compared within alternating treatments designs.
Video prompting was effective in all participants. Similarly effective were the other 2 strategies, and only occasional differences between the strategies were reported. Two social validation assessments showed that university psychology students and graduates rated the patients' performance with video prompting more favorably than their performance with the other strategies.
Video prompting may be considered a valuable alternative to the other strategies to support daily activities in persons with Alzheimer's disease.
背景/目的:两项研究评估了视频提示作为一种支持轻度和中度阿尔茨海默病患者进行日常活动的策略的有效性。
在研究 I 中,视频提示与依赖口头指令的现有策略进行了比较。在研究 II 中,视频提示与依赖静态图像提示的另一种现有策略进行了比较。视频提示和其他策略在任务和参与者之间进行了平衡,并在交替治疗设计中进行了比较。
视频提示在所有参与者中均有效。其他两种策略同样有效,仅偶尔报告了策略之间的差异。两项社会验证评估表明,大学心理学学生和毕业生对患者使用视频提示的表现评价高于使用其他策略的表现。
视频提示可以被视为支持阿尔茨海默病患者日常活动的其他策略的有价值的替代方案。
