Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to provide evidence of the effects of reminiscence therapy on institutionalized elderly people with dementia.
Methods: A literature search was conducted using 11 electronic databases. All analyses were conducted using a random-effects model from R package version 4.0.2.
Results: All twelve studies were judged to be homogeneous by presenting the physical characteristics and cognitive function before the intervention. The effect size of the overall study was SMD=0.64 (95% CI 0.30~0.98, p<.001), showing a statistically significant moderate effect size. The heterogeneity of the overall effect size was I2=73%(Q=24.34,df=11,p<.01), showing moderate heterogeneity.
Conclusions: Reminiscence therapy has the potential to improve cognitive function in institutionalized elderly people with dementia. Further studies will be needed to prepare standard guidelines for reminiscence therapy to improve evidence-based practice.
