Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to examine the effect of group reminiscence therapy among elderly people who living nursing homes. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed in two nursing homes in Turkey. A total of 76 elderly recruited the intervention group (n= 37) and the control group (n=39). The intervention group received reminiscence therapy in the form of group sessions lasting 30-45 minutes once a week for six weeks. The control group had no application. Data were collected using a socio-demographic form, the Loneliness Scale, Beck Depression Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale. Results: After reminiscence therapy, Beck Depression Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale mean scores increased in elderly in the intervention group (p0.05). Conclusion: At the end of the study, reminiscence therapy was found to be a useful method for reducing depression and increasing life satisfaction in elderly.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, huzurevinde yaşayan yaşlı bireylerde grup anımsama terapisinin etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu randomize kontrollü çalışma, Türkiye’de iki huzurevinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Müdahale grubuna (n= 37) ve kontrol grubuna (n=39) toplam 76 yaşlı katılmıştır. Müdahale grubuna altı hafta boyunca haftada bir kez 30- 45 dakika süren grup seansları şeklinde anımsama terapisi uygulandı. Kontrol grubuna ise uygulama yapılmadı. Veriler Sosyodemografik form, Yalnızlık Ölçeği, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ve Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Anımsama terapisinden sonra müdahale grubundaki yaşlılarda Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ve Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği puan ortalamaları artmıştır (p0.05). Sonuç: Araştırmanın sonunda anımsama terapisinin yaşlılarda depresyonu azaltmak ve yaşam doyumunu artırmak için yararlı bir yöntem olduğu bulunmuştur.
