We aimed to explore the effect of multi-sensory stimulation on apathy symptoms in elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Eighty elderly patients with AD admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University, China from January 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method. According to the random number table, they were divided into intervention group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the intervention group was given multi-sensory stimulation based on this nursing. Apathy evaluation scale (AES), Behavioral pathology in Alzheimer's disease rating scale (BEHAVE-AD) and Quality of Life Scale for dementia patients (QoL-AD) were used to compare the results.
Compared with the control group, the scores of AES and BEHAVE-AD in intervention group were lower ( was -7.312 and 11.88 respectively, < 0.05), and the scores of QoL-AD in intervention group were significantly higher than those in control group were ( was -15.311, < 0.01).
Multi-sensory stimulation can relieve apathy symptoms, mental and behavioral symptoms and improve the quality of life of elderly patients with AD, which is worth popularizing in clinical practice.
我们旨在探讨多感官刺激对老年阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者冷漠症状的影响。
采用便利抽样法，选取2022年1月至2023年2月在中国齐齐哈尔医学院附属第三医院收治的80例老年AD患者作为研究对象。根据随机数字表，将其分为干预组和对照组，每组40例。对照组给予常规护理，干预组在此基础上给予多感官刺激。采用冷漠评估量表（AES）、阿尔茨海默病行为病理评定量表（BEHAVE-AD）和痴呆患者生活质量量表（QoL-AD）比较结果。
与对照组相比，干预组的AES和BEHAVE-AD评分较低（分别为-7.312和11.88，P<0.05），干预组的QoL-AD评分显著高于对照组（为-15.311，P<0.01）。
多感官刺激可缓解老年AD患者的冷漠症状、精神和行为症状，提高其生活质量，值得在临床实践中推广。
