This study aimed to examine the efficacy and feasibility of a reminiscence music therapy program on improving cognition and decreasing depressive and behavioral symptoms in older adults with dementia. Participants in the reminiscence music therapy group participated in 60-minute reminiscence music therapy twice a week over a period of 4 weeks. Control group received usual care. Results showed that the intervention group exhibited a significant decrease in depressive symptoms compared to the control group (B=-5.30, p=.003). The reminiscence music therapy program exerted non-significant effects on cognition and behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia (p>.05). High adherence (96%) and positive participation data indicated that this reminiscence music program is feasible for people with dementia. Healthcare professionals in community or geriatric care units can create supportive environments and conduct regular reminiscence music activities that are related to festival features and reminiscence music for older adults with dementia to reduce depressive symptoms.
本研究旨在探讨怀旧音乐疗法对改善痴呆症老年人认知功能及减轻抑郁和行为症状的疗效与可行性。怀旧音乐疗法组的参与者在4周的时间里,每周两次参加60分钟的怀旧音乐疗法。对照组接受常规护理。结果显示,与对照组相比,干预组的抑郁症状显著减轻(B=-5.30,p=.003)。怀旧音乐疗法对痴呆症患者的认知和行为症状未产生显著影响(p>.05)。高依从性(96%)和积极参与数据表明,该怀旧音乐项目对痴呆症患者是可行的。社区或老年护理机构的医护人员可以营造支持性环境,为患有痴呆症的老年人开展与节日特色相关的定期怀旧音乐活动,以减轻抑郁症状。
