INTRODUCTION
Group-based cognitive stimulation is the only nonpharmacologic intervention recommended by the UK National Institute for Clinical and Health Excellence for people with dementia. The potential of technology to extend the availability of group-based cognitive stimulation has not been tested.
METHODS
One hundred sixty-one people with dementia participated in an eight-session group activity using Computer Interactive Reminiscence and Conversation Aid (CIRCA). Cognition, quality of life, and general health were assessed before intervention, postintervention, and 3 months later.
RESULTS
There was a significant improvement in cognition and quality of life at the end of the CIRCA group intervention, which was further improved at 3-month follow-up.
DISCUSSION
CIRCA group sessions improved cognition and quality of life similar to group-based cognitive stimulation approved by the National Institute for Clinical and Health Excellence. These benefits were maintained at 3-month follow-up. The data confirm the potential of CIRCA, which can be populated with different cultural and language contents for different user groups.
引言
基于小组的认知刺激是英国国家临床优化研究所为痴呆症患者推荐的唯一非药物干预措施。技术在扩大基于小组的认知刺激的可及性方面的潜力尚未得到检验。
方法
161名痴呆症患者参加了一项为期八节的小组活动，使用计算机交互式回忆与交流辅助工具（CIRCA）。在干预前、干预后及3个月后对认知、生活质量和总体健康状况进行评估。
结果
在CIRCA小组干预结束时，认知和生活质量有显著改善，在3个月随访时进一步改善。
讨论
CIRCA小组活动改善了认知和生活质量，与国家临床优化研究所批准的基于小组的认知刺激效果相似。这些益处在3个月随访时得以维持。数据证实了CIRCA的潜力，它可以针对不同用户群体填充不同的文化和语言内容。
