We compared reality orientation with reminiscence therapy for elderly people in a large residential home, using a controlled cross-over design. Both kinds of therapy group were enjoyed by both staff and residents, and enabled staff to get to know moderately and severely confused residents. The group that received reality orientation followed by reminiscence therapy showed improvement in cognitive and behavioural measures which was not found in the other two groups. It may be important to use reality orientation techniques with confused residents before involving them in a reminiscence group.
我们采用对照交叉设计，对一家大型养老院中的老年人进行了现实定向疗法与怀旧疗法的比较。两种疗法小组都受到了工作人员和居民的喜爱，并且使工作人员能够了解中度和重度认知障碍的居民。先接受现实定向疗法再接受怀旧疗法的小组在认知和行为指标上有改善，而其他两组未出现这种情况。在让认知障碍居民参与怀旧小组之前，对他们使用现实定向技术可能很重要。
