To explore the intervention degree and improvement effect of group reminiscence therapy in combination with physical exercise on spiritual well-being of the elderly after the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic.
In 2020, overall, 130 elderly people were selected from communities in Xiangtan City and Changsha City of Hunan Province, China and randomly divided into two groups, with 65 people in each group. One group was the experimental group that participated in the exercise intervention for 8 weeks as the objects of group reminiscence therapy intervention in combination with physical exercise. The other group was the control group that listened to 4 routine health lectures. Spirituality Index of Well-Being, ULS Loneliness Scale and Brief Resilience Scale were used to evaluate the effect of the intervention.
Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group, but after 8 weeks of exercise intervention, the score of loneliness was lower in the experimental group than in the control group (<0.05), the scores of spiritual well-being and resilience were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (<0.05); and the differences before and after the intervention were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (<0.05).
Group reminiscence therapy in combination with physical exercise could improve spiritual well-being and mental health of the elderly.
探讨新冠肺炎疫情爆发后,团体回忆疗法联合体育锻炼对老年人精神幸福感的干预程度及改善效果。
2020年,从中国湖南省湘潭市和长沙市的社区中选取130名老年人,随机分为两组,每组65人。一组为实验组,作为团体回忆疗法联合体育锻炼的干预对象,参加为期8周的运动干预。另一组为对照组,听取4次常规健康讲座。采用精神幸福感指数、ULS孤独感量表和简易复原力量表评估干预效果。
干预前,实验组与对照组之间无显著差异,但经过8周的运动干预后,实验组的孤独感得分低于对照组(<0.05),实验组的精神幸福感和复原力得分显著高于对照组(<0.05);且实验组干预前后的差异显著高于对照组(<0.05)。
