This study explored the benefits of using It's Never Too Late [iN2L] with the residents at Mercy Center. Over 10-weeks, 30 study participants were consented and attended three workshops engaging with iN2L. Paired t-tests were used to detect significant differences. An increase in residents' sense of well-being on the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWS) and additional questions indicating levels of distress and contentment. Significant improvements were noted for the WEMWS Scale and a decreased level of distress. iN2L is a promising technology that may be used with residents in long-term care facilities, regardless of cognitive impairment.
本研究探讨了在 Mercy Center 为居民使用 It's Never Too Late(iN2L)的益处。在 10 周的时间里,有 30 名研究参与者同意并参加了三次与 iN2L 相关的研讨会。采用配对 t 检验来检测显著差异。居民在 Warwick-Edinburgh 心理健康量表(WEMWS)上的幸福感以及表明苦恼和满足程度的其他问题的得分有所增加。WEMWS 量表的得分显著提高,苦恼程度降低。iN2L 是一种有前途的技术,无论认知障碍如何,都可以在长期护理设施中与居民一起使用。
