Reminiscence is a non-pharmacological technique used to manage the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. This integrative review aims to synthesize the research on the health benefits of reminiscence intervention for people with dementia.
Whittemore and Knafl's five-step method provided the framework for this review. A comprehensive search of PubMed, CINAHL Plus, SCOPUS, and PsycINFO was conducted. The articles were reviewed for eligibility, critically appraised, and extracted the data.
Twenty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Four themes emerged: (a) Recovery from the Darkness of Depressive Symptoms, (B) Enhancement of Cognitive Functions and Filling the Memory Gap, (C) Living a Fulfilling Life in Late Adulthood, and (D) Fulfilling Reminiscence Functions.
This review provides a better understanding of the potential benefits of using reminiscence intervention for addressing the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. However, improving the methodological rigor of future studies is necessary to attain conclusive evidence.
怀旧是一种非药物治疗技术,用于管理痴呆症的行为和心理症状。本综述旨在综合怀旧干预对痴呆症患者健康益处的研究。
惠特莫尔和克纳夫的五步法为本次综述提供了框架。对 PubMed、CINAHL Plus、SCOPUS 和 PsycINFO 进行了全面检索。对文章进行了资格审查、批判性评价和数据提取。
有 27 项研究符合纳入标准。出现了四个主题:(a)从抑郁症状的黑暗中恢复,(B)增强认知功能和填补记忆空白,(C)在成年后期过上充实的生活,以及(D)满足怀旧功能。
本综述更好地理解了使用怀旧干预来解决痴呆症的行为和心理症状的潜在益处。然而,有必要提高未来研究的方法严谨性,以获得确凿的证据。
